A Night of Fantasy and Pop Culture!

Join us at our London Megastore on Thursday 24th May from 6 - 7pm, as, together with MCM London Comic Con, we host a meet and greet with some of most exciting names in pop culture and SFF! There will be comic books, chat, swag and merriment, plus a cheeky tipple with every purchase.

Fred van Lente signing Ten Dead Comedians

He is also the #1 New York Times best-selling writer of graphic novels including Cowboys & Aliens (the basis of the feature film), Odd is on Our Side with Dean R. Koontz, and several entries of the gorily funny Marvel Zombies series.

Linda Rodriguez McRobbie signing Princesses Behaving Badly

Linda Rodriguez McRobbie is an American writer and journalist.

Her work regularly appears in the Boston Globe Ideas section, the Guardian, Atlas Obscura, Smithsonian Magazine, and more.

Vic James signing Tarnished City

Vic lives in London’s Notting Hill, but her life is more action-adventure than rom-com. She studied History and English at Merton College, Oxford where Tolkien was once professor. Relocating to Rome, she completed her doctorate in the Vatican Secret Archives (they’re nothing like The Da Vinci Code), then spent five years living in Tokyo where she learned Japanese and worked as a journalist.
