The new Glenrothes Comic Con which is taking place in the Rothes Halls at the town’s Kingdom Shopping Centre on Saturday 10 June 2017 has announced yet more comics guests.
Given that the artistic director of the event is artist Gary Erskine this was always going to be a properly comics based ‘comic con’. With the current season of Doctor Who in full, and much more family friendly, flow as well as 2000AD celebrating its 4oth anniversary, the event has an impressive array of comics talent that has worked on either of these or, in some cases, both.
The current list of guests for Glenrothes (in alphabetical order) is as follows –
Chris Baldie – Space Captain, Never Ever After
Emma Beeby – 2000AD, Judge Dredd, Doctor Who
Colin Bell – Dungeon Fun
Adam Caldwell – Blood Blokes
Mike Collins – Marvel, DC, Doctor Who, Class
Gary Erskine – Marvel, DC , Vertigo, Image, 2000AD, Doctor Who, Star Wars
John Ferguson – Saltire
Tom Foster – 2000AD, Judge Dredd
John Lees – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sink, And Emily Was Gone
Sonia Leong – Sweatdrop, Self Made Hero, VIZ, Tokyopop
Dan McDaid – Jersey Gods, Judge Dredd, Planet Of The Apes, Vandroid
Holley McKend – Never Ever After
Graeme Neil Reid – Doctor Who, 2000AD, Judge Dredd
Gordon Rennie – 2000AD, Judge Dredd, Doctor Who
Tanya Roberts – Star Wars, Clone Wars, Plagued
Will Simpson – 2000AD, Game Of Thrones
Neil Slorance – Dungeon Fun, Doctor Who, The National
Rachael Smith – Doctor Who, Flimsy
However perhaps the greatest draw for the general public will be the entrance fee as tickets cost only £1 per person. These will be available on the door and are also available to pre-order from the OnFife website.
