is an amazing event - it's held in a spectacular setting, the crowd are so
enthusiastic and friendly and engaging! There was a fabulous display of skill
and creativity from foreign and local creators so lots for attendees to get
their teeth into. I was incredibly well-looked after by the staff, who made
such great effort to ensure that I had everything I needed and ensured I had a
great time both at the convention itself and outside sight-seeing and sampling
local cuisine! I can't recommend it enough ♥". (Sonia Leong, 2012).

horror anthology, culminating in it winning “Best Horror Anthology” in the
Horror News Network awards. The book which is currently in its 8th year

and outside the field of comics for its mix of comedy and humour drawing kudos
from the likes of Garth Ennis, Comedian Stewart Lee and The Horror Channel in
the UK.
“Both Dave Taylor and
Christian Ward have been heavily recommended to us by previous Malta Comic Con
guests and we’re glad that we finally found the opportunity to welcome them to
our show. We have no doubt that the combination of talent and pleasant personality
that both these creators posses will have a positive impact on this year’s
event. Similarly, John-Paul Kamath has been recommended to us by one of this
year’s guests and considering how much the public enjoyed the presence of T-Pub
and their flagship anthology Twisted Dark last year we are certain that London
Comic Horror would leave its mark in Malta. The presence of Taylor,
Ward and Kamath as well as that of the other guests has us all enthusiastically
looking forward to the Malta
Comic Con 2014 and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them for
their participation and look forward to hosting them here” said Chris Le Galle co-founder of
