I cant honestly say as I've never been to the Wynns Hotel one...all i know is this is primarily hosted by Sub city and then who ever buys a table to sell.

Hi sorry I wont be able to make it, but if you could let me know how you got on it would be great. I only have about 1500 - 2000 comics I want to sell and fear something that far away might not be worth my while especially because I will be relatively small compared to other dealers and shops.
Do you sell comics all the time or just like me letting go of your collection?

brianregan09 · 21-03-2013 5:17pm

Its not on till on sunday lol

Not too sure of the venue though. It says the Verbal Arts Centre, but I heard from my comic shop it's in the Millennium Forum, which would be a better venue

It's in both venues! The 2D festival is usually on in the Verbal Arts Centre, but because Derry is this year's City of Culture the festival, they are also holding events in the Millenium Forum (The 2D Comics Fair and the Heroes & Legends Show). They are also holding some events in Sandino's bar.

CastorTroy · 07-05-2013 1:21pm

Ah ok. I know I called into the Arts Centre for the first time last year. Didn't stay long because thought was too small a venue since could barely move around it with all the signing tables.
Though maybe they'll still be in the Arts Centre

This is a twofeer

3 great people should equal a compelling talk.

And for the Walking dead fans. Or Zombie fans in general.
https://www.facebook.com/events/165953040275223/?ref_dashboard_filter=calendar

Next week sees the release of THE WALKING DEAD #115, the 10th anniversary issue of what is now one of the
most famous comic books in the world.

Now, we have to do something for that, right?
But not just anything, it has to be special, you know?
So what about...

WALKING DEAD #115 MIDNIGHT LAUNCH VARIANT COVER
plus

SCREENING OF GEORGE ROMERO'S DAWN OF THE DEAD
(including a medium popcorn and a medium drink)

plus

CHANCE TO WIN THE GENTLE GIANT WALKING DEAD SHERIFF GRIMES LIMITED EDITION BUST

ALL FOR €10!

How does that sound?

So you get to watch one of the best zombie films ever, with some popcorn and drink thrown in and when you leave the cinema screen you have the midnight launch variant for THE WALKING DEAD #115 waiting for you.
AND you might even win a limited edition Rick Grimes bust!

You only pay a tenner.
A MEASLY TENNER!

Deal?
Deal.

Hit the link to buy tickets for this event, and please note, this is limited to 100 people only!

See you in the cinema next week!

I got my tickets.

MarkHall · 04-10-2013 10:51am

And on Full disclosure Forbidden planet are also doing a midnight launch for Walking Dead.
