The event will feature artists and writers from across the globe, and Scottish talent will be at the forefront.

The comic con will host legendary Dundonian comic artist, Ian Kennedy.

The 86-year old has been working for DC Thomson since 1949, and, to celebrate his 70th anniversary, the company is producing a volume of his amazing artwork which will be launched at Dunfermline Comic Con. Said an event spokesman: “Ian is one of the most delightful people working in comics, and attendees at the con will have the opportunity to chat with him and purchase a signed copy of “Art of Ian Kennedy” prior to general release.”

The line-up also includes 2018 Young Scot award winner, 14-year old Amy Tucker who has been writing and illustrating her comic “Mystery Club” since she was 11.
She will be hosting a comic workshop.
