The FPI store in Birmingham, the lovely Nostalgia & Comics is having a special celebration for the 70th anniversary of Marvel Comics. Here’s what they had to say:
“On Saturday the 27th June Nostalgia and Comics will celebrate Marvels 70th Birthday. All of the staff will be in fancy dress and anyone, both kids and adults alike will receive a goodie bag if they turn up in fancy dress!
Take part in our Competitions:
Update your favourite Marvel character in a brand new super hero outfit that you design
Write a two side A4 story about any Marvel character
Kids take part in the Marvel Quiz – starts at 11:00
…And the winner of the Marvel Treasure map will be announced!
For the drawing and writing competitions make sure your name, age and a contact telephone number is on the back.
We all hope to see you there.”
The last time N&C did this sort of thing was the recent, very successful Free Comic Book Day – see here for more. I’m certain that this one will be just as much fun. But if you do go in, make sure to check that they’re not wearing the same costumes as last time – that would be cheating!
