Manchester Comic Convention returns to Bowler’s Exhibition Centre this summer with an pop culture twist as they are bringing back the 80s and 90s with a host of stars from yesteryear including Jason Patric from Lost Boys and Steve Guttenberg as part of a Police Academy reunion. The event will be a mash up of the two greatest TV and film decades of all time, the 80s and 90s featuring the likes of Zach Gilligan who played Billy in Gremlins, Judge Reinhold, Erika Eleniak (Baywatch, Under Siege), man of a thousand voices Michael Winslow and loads more. There is also the usual round of Bowlers events fun with cocktails in the recreated Cantina bar as well as set builds that include The Gremiln’s kitchen, The Simpson’s couch, Dr Who’s Tardis, KITT from Knight Rider, The Back to the Future Delorian and the reliant from Only Fools and Horses. Plus an entire arena dedicated to 80s and 90s gaming and of course a host of comics and memorabilia traders to really test your bank balance.
Sat 1 & Sun 2 Jun, Bowlers Exhibition Centre, Longbridge Road, Trafford Park, Manchester, M17 1SN, Tel: 01706 299902. www.comicconventionmanchester.co.uk
