This long running event has a decidedly different feel to the standard comic cons with a focus on early TV and film memorabilia such as original posters and press stills with no Funko pops or Star Wars figures in sight....

This weekend saw the return of the much-delayed EM-Con Nottingham convention, taking place at the Nottingham Motorpoint Arena.

Predominantly a vintage toy show, Echo Base Live has grown over the years to include a number of signing guests. The calibre of these guests is improving with each show with Julian...
