So what can we expect at the ZIP Bristol Comic Con table?

Following the previous awesome turnout we had at the last Bristol Comic Con in March 2025, we’re back!

A product spread of our print comics, with our first issue cover by Vanessa Cardinali at the front, which depicts a speedster superhero running from a giant shadow monster wearing a suit.

We’ll be selling:

  • Zip issues #1-3 (with bulk discounts for the whole set)
  • Variant covers not available via our publisher Markosia’s eReader listings
  • Sticker sets
  • A3 posters

Besides Kickstarter, conventions are the only place to buy single issues of Zip in print, as our publisher Markosia sells physical comics in the form of trade paperbacks, but not single issues.

We’ve really put in loads of effort to make our table look great this time! We have a new roller banner, fliers I’m very proud of, and a disability pride flag which we’re planning to use as our tablecloth.

A photo of the front and back of a fanned out set of fliers. They contain info on the blurb for our comic, the plot of the new issue, and details of our campaign rewards. Read our campaign story for details.

While you’re visiting our table, be sure to get a photo op, as there’s a very good chance that, with your consent, it’ll end up in a future update, on our website, and on our socials!
