May 5th 2014, Malta
A lot of people have commented
that the Malta Comic Convention 2013 was one of the best shows they have ever
been to. If you were there, chances are we’re quoting you! And if you missed it
you can be part of the awesomeness this time round. Following the fun filled
success that was the Malta Comic Con 2013, Wicked Comics are proud to announce
that the 6th edition of the annual Malta Comic Con will be held on
Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th November! The show will
once again be held at St. James Cavalier in Valletta,
the capital city of Malta.
The venue was originally a bastion (part of the fortifications of the City)
constructed by the Knights Hospitallers which was later converted to a wicked
Art’s and Creativity Centre.
“Way back in 2009 when we gave Malta its first ever comic convention our
goal was that in 5 years we establish the show as one of the biggest, awesome
and genuinely anticipated festivals on the Island. The amazing response we
received last year (were we almost doubled the attendees of the previous year,
amongst which was the Honourable Dr. Joseph Muscat the Prime Minister of Malta)
confirmed that we achieved this goal. Consequently, we are proud to say that
the Malta
Comic Convention is now a credible destination for both professionals working
in the industry and for those who have the comic culture at heart. We would
like to thank all the many people who have helped us make this possible and
promise to deliver another explosive family oriented event this year” said
Chris Le Galle co-founder of Wicked Comics.
So keep the dates free for 2 more
days of fun for everyone! Fans can look forward to feeling that amazing rush of
meeting with their favourite creators who are always happy to chat, sign and
sketch for their fans. Complementing the killer roster of guests will be a
number of up and coming creators from abroad as well as the best local creators
on the Island promoting work. The official
Malta Comic Con Cosplay competition is being revamped so people can once again
look forward to meeting all those lovely people in a plethora of different
shiny costumes. The video game area will once again be buzzing with activity
and the fan favourite competitions will also be returning. There will also be
more table top gaming that there has ever been before. Free movies and
animations will be running in the in house cinema for the duration of the show.
Fans can also look forward to much more exciting activities such as work shops,

Testimonial from the much
acclaimed comic writer and Malta Comic Con 2013 guest Ales Kot:
"I enjoyed my stay at the Malta Comic Con. It's a show that
is finding itself -- and observing the process, and being able to help with it
a little, has been an adventure in itself. The enthusiasm and focus of the
organizers is inspiring. I believe in the Malta Comic Con, and I wish them my
best." (Ales Kot, 2014).
