Tell me about the project?

We need local heroes (writers, illustrators and fans) to unite and use their powers (love) for comics and memorabilia to fund and launch Leamington’s first Comic Con.

Harnessing superhuman support of a community, we’ve aspirations to one day transform this humble starter project into a permanent Hulk-sized fixture.

Together we can bring something epic to Leamington!

Why is it important and who are you?

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s a plan to launch Leamington Spa’s first Comic Con!

Let’s face it, this project isn’t as important as World peace, but what comic enthusiast wouldn’t want to set up the first ever comic con in their home town?

I’m just a local lad and Transformers nerd with a pipedream, but by using the muscle of like-minded fans I hope to fund a Leamington legend, well its first Comic Con at least.

We’re not promising the Earth, they’ll be no large corporate sponsors.

We plan to deliver a small, but perfectly formed, intimate affair at a quirky venue where fans can engage with local and national comic writers, illustrators and traders.

What do you need and how can I help?

We don’t need Stark-sized funding, just oodles of small but super important donations, goodwill and the clout of word of mouth from enthusiasts to bring you a mighty offering.

This project will gratefully accept all donations however great or small, and in return for your generosity we have some great perks up for grabs.

We’re asking for just £1,500 to fund:

• Leamington's first comic con
• Venue hire, furniture
  
• Q&A panel of writers and illustrators
• Super hero/villain photo booth
• 501^st UK Garrison Star Wars Legion
• Goodie bag for first 100 visitors
• Live event podcasting
• Promotional material

100% of profits will be used to grow future Leamington Comic Cons.

However, we don’t just need financial backing, spreading the word is just as important. Please follow, like and share our social media pages:

What if you don’t hit your target?

If we don’t raise the full £1,500 all donations will be refunded.
