The Establishing Shot: London's biggest Comic Fair

Thursday, March 18, 2010 Craig Grobler 0 Comments

This is the post in which I reveal London's best kept comic secret - The National Collectors Marketplace, with 130 tables, is the largest regular marketplace for comic book and trading card collectors in the U.K. You will also find a whole range of related materials including Sci-fi, Fantasy, Film, TV and Toys from leading National & International dealers. A refreshments counter, bar and pub will be open next to the venue.

I have to say my first visit to The National Collectors Marketplace blew my mind. It's a little bit musty but I was like a kid visiting Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. The fair is made up of a number of sellers each with their own speciality items. Visiting each stall revealed a greater treasure from my childhood or item of desire. There are 130 TABLES of:

2000 Ad
Action Figures
Anime
British Annuals
British Comics
Comic Book Supplies
Cult Dvd
Doctor Who
Gaming Cards
Golden Age Comics
Graphic Novels
Heroclix
Heroes
Latest Import Comics
Manga
Newspaper Strips
Non-sports Cards
Original Artwork
Posters
Sci Fi/Fantasy
Silver Age Comics
Sports Cards
Star Trek
Star Wars
Toys
Trading Card Supplies
Watchmen

If you get a chance I recommend at least one visit.
