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.
