A WARRINGTON Market trader will again be hosting Free Comics Book Day this year.

The annual event is a great opportunity to meet local comic book creators and to collect free comic books.

It will be hosted by Scott’s Pop & Comics which is based upstairs in the award-winning Time Square venue.

Owner Scott Mathieson said: “Free Comic Book Day is a great opportunity to discover the world of comics and storytelling which are behind so many of today’s popular movies and TV shows.

“Whether you are a reluctant reader, a lapsed fan or on the hunt for something new, there’s something for everyone and for all ages.”

Previous years events have proved to be very popular and Scott is building on its success with an expanded number of local comic book creators attending including Laura Howell, artist on the Beano and Dandy, Abby Bulmer, artist on My Little Pony and Sonic for IDW Comics, and local artist Foxhat.

Scott added: “For anyone with an interest in art and how comics are created, it is a great chance to meet artists and writers with a wide range of experiences and obtain a unique piece of art or have their comics signed.”

Free Comic Book Day will take place on May 4, 2024.

Entrance is free with the special Free Comic Book Day comics available while stock last inside Scott’s Pops & Comics.
