Comic Con London 2018 takes place at the end of May. If you are attending and get inspired to produce your own comic book, Colour Print can assist you with a professional print run. Next year, you could be in the Comic Village selling your own graphic novel!


Comic Con London


For those who are out of the loop: this is a convention where fans of graphic novels, video games, superhero films, anime and fantasy TV shows gather together to celebrate their mutual pop culture interests. Dressing up is de rigeur and many writers and actors will be there for selfie and autograph opportunities. In recent years the event has attracted upwards of 130,000 attendees. It’s the place to be if you are looking for an audience for your fan-produced comic book.


The Comic Village


The area of the convention concerned with comic books is the Comic Village – approximately 200 stands that are booked out by writers and artists looking to promote their own comics and graphic novels. The Comic Village contains a mix of published authors and amateurs who have produced their own limited print run and are looking to get noticed.

If you have drawn your own comic book, we can advise on the best way to get it professionally printed. We can help you transfer the original artwork onto digital files and provide all the digital printing and binding that will help your amateur work hold its own amongst the seasoned publications.
