London Super Comic Convention was an annual comic book convention dedicated to comics[1] that was mounted from 2012 to 2017.
In its inaugural year 2012, Stan Lee[2] was its main guest. It has since drawn in the likes[3] of J. Scott Campbell, Neal Adams,[4] George Pérez,[5] Dave Gibbons, Dan Slott,[6] Charlie Adlard, Max Brooks[7] and Jonathan Ross.[8][9]
Dealers from across the UK and USA came to sell their products and promote their businesses. There was also a large small press section and an active cosplay contingent, culminating with the LSCC London Super Costume Championship, judged by special guests.[10]
The London Super Comic Convention mounted conventions from 2012 to 2017. After not mounting a show in 2018, the convention announced in March 2019 that it had merged forces with Reed Exhibitions and the MCM London Comic Con,[11] thus bringing the LSCC to a close.
