Cork Comic Expo returns!
We are delighted to bring you Comic Expo 3 which takes place all day on Saturday September 16th.
This event is organised in association with Cork legend Will Sliney and Big Bang Comics.
Cork Comic Expo 1 took place here at Mahon Point in 2015 followed by Cork Comic Expo 2 in 2018.
So after quite a break, we are again delighted to see the return of this exciting event this year!
The event will again host a wide range of comic artists including award winning illustrator Will Sliney and others.
Marvel Artist, Will Sliney is renowned for his work on Star Wars and Spider-Man, to name just a few, and is also creator of the TV shows “Storytellers” and “Draw with Will”.
Expect to encounter some of the best comic book talent in the world with artists from Spider-Man, Batman, Transformers, Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Moon Knight, Deadpool and more.
The event will feature talented Cork creators including Chris O’Halloran who works on Thor, Spider-Man and Hellboy; Kevin Keane who works on Spawn and illustrator, lettering artist and art director Fiona Boniwell as well as Eoin Coveney who has drawn for 2000 AD.
