Ready to time-travel, Wakefield?Dust off your leg warmers and charge up your proton packs: Wakefield Comic Con is warping back to the raddest decade for one weekend only. We're bringing the neon glow, synth beats, and Saturday-morning-cartoon energy of the 80s & 90s straight to your doorstep.
What to expect:
Retro Guest Lineup: Meet voice actors, comic artists, and cult-classic stars from your favorite 80s & 90s films, cartoons, and games. Autographs, photo ops, and Q&As that feel like catching up with old friends.
Arcade Alley: Free-play cabinets loaded with Pac-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Street Fighter II. Highest score gets bragging rights.
Props that will take you back to the future with amazing photo opportunities.
Cosplay Royale: Retro Edition: Come as your best He-Man, Ghostbuster, or original action hero. Prizes for Most Totally Tubular, Best Group, and Judges' Choice. Bonus points for shoulder pads.
Artist & Vendor Halls: Independent creators, vintage toy sellers, VHS-era merch, and comics spanning four decades. Find that missing issue or the action figure you swore you'd keep in the box.
The vibe
Think mixtapes, mall arcades, and bedrooms plastered with posters. We'll deck the halls with CRT TVs, gridline floors, and enough chrome and laser grids to make your Walkman blush. Dress code: come as you are in 1985.
