Big names coming to Wales Comic Con at Pavilion revealed

Big names taking part in Wales Comic Con, which comes to Llangollen Pavilion on September 20 and 21, have been revealed.

The line-up includes Dean Norris (Breaking Bad, Total Recall), Jennifer Beals (Flashdance, The L Word), Joseph Mazzello (Jurassic Park, Bohemian Rhapsody) and Elliot Cowan (Da Vinci’s Demons, The Witcher). 

And fans of anime and voice acting can look forward to David Coburn, the voice of Captain Planet, and Michael Daingerfield, known for his roles in Gintama and InuYasha. 

Comic fans can also meet Neil Edwards, celebrated for his work with both Marvel and DC Comics.

The fan convention, which organisers see, as an exciting new chapter in the event’s history, is expected to attract up to 10,000 fans across the weekend, offering a packed schedule of celebrity signings, panels, cosplay competitions, gaming zones, traders, and more.

Now running for nearly 20 years, Wales Comic Con has grown from a small local gathering into one of Europe’s most respected fan conventions — regularly welcoming some of the biggest names in TV, film, gaming, and comic books.

Organiser Jaime Milner said: “We’re incredibly excited to bring Wales Comic Con to Llangollen. As a Welsh-born event, it means the world to continue growing while staying true to our roots. This show is about celebrating creativity, community, and culture — and Llangollen is the perfect backdrop for that.”

The event is also expected to bring a strong boost to the local economy, with increased footfall and demand across hotels, restaurants, shops, and independent businesses throughout the weekend.

The International Pavilion is now being run by the Eisteddfod team after being acquired from Denbighshire Leisure Ltd last autumn.
