My 1st Visit to London Comic Mart- An Honest Review

[@michaelwilliamson5755]

Thanks for the shout out Jason, it was me that sold you the pre code horror and I'm chuffed you like it. Hopefully see you at the September mart at the Royal national again, my wife and I will both be back down. If you're interested I've got a lot more comics on Ebay as well, but I didn't want to add my Ebay username without your permission. Great video !!!

[@JasonParkerComics]

Thanks Mick. I love it. I’ll check out your eBay. What’s your user name?

[@kuku873]

Is that LayLow comics at the beginning yes it is

[@abbynurudeen3304]

Yes Laylow Comic have a great selection

[@ferret78]

This was me and my daughter’s first visit to the Comic Mart and I agree - the event rules! A top place to dig and spend a LOT of money.

[@JasonParkerComics]

Couldn't agree more!

[@thegreyman]

Much fun was had by all and lots of money was spent! See you there again soon perhaps

[@JasonParkerComics]

I'll definitely be back buddy. Good to see you there.

[@garyfrancis-williams9160]

Great vid, always prefered marts to cons, just comics mainly. Wish you had shown the wall books on the very long display.....my only gripe. Keep up the good work.

[@steviG63]

I need to get to one this year, went last year in May and was fab

[@JasonParkerComics]

Highly recommended bud.

[@MJComix]

Great video buddy. Loved seeing you meet people from the comic community! Love theses blogs and I can’t wait to go to one now. Will have to take some cash though 😂

[@JasonParkerComics]

Lol. Thanks for watching brother.

[@kenwuk]

Nice one, Jason. I’m going to be heading that way pretty soon. Thanks for mentioning that most traders there are cash only .. that bit of info will save me embarrassment on the day. Also thanks for doing close-up shots of the books behind traders .. Good to see what was on offer 👍🍻👍

[@JasonParkerComics]

Thanks Ken. Most do take cash and card but as always cash is King.

[@darrenszaporium1710]

Awesome watch mate great to meet you and thank you for the shoutout 😁👍

[@JasonParkerComics]

No problem fella. Visor to meet again soon.

[@KenJohnson5ve]

I used to visit the Comic Mart when I lived in London and I enjoyed it each time. I also used to exhibit there as an indie comic artist of a book called Velica. It was great to see it again courtesy of your video. Thank you for sharing!

[@JasonParkerComics]

Thank you so much for watching

[@fossiladventures2926]

You said it mate, pre code horror a slipper slope indeed😂

[@JasonParkerComics]

Ha ha

[@iamthomasjudge]

Nice vid Jason - I think this is the same venue as the London Retro game con too.

[@JasonParkerComics]

Cheers Thomas. I think it is.

[@peterwoodhouse4314]

Did the Westminster Cent.Hall (where Dave Gibbons signed some Watchmen) and Euston (well, nearby, in a civic/council building: Judd St?) marts as a young lad & then student into the 1990s. Did the Russell Square marts evolve from these? I've been to the Royal.Nat. Rus.Sq mart once I think. Glad to see they're still going.

[@AFCManUk]

I think the Euston Mart you mention might well have been the Camden Centre in Judd Street just behind St Pancras Station, but from what I recall that was the Trading Card Mart which sadly ended around 2003/04, and amalgamated with the Comic Mart thereafter - although it was never the same and very few card sellers turn up to the Comic Mart nowadays. The Comic Mart at the Royal National Hotel Russell Square has been running for over 30 years and was running at the same time, but back then it was purely Comics. That Comic Mart has always been a weird one. It's barely advertised, people often find out about it through word of mouth, and I only learned it existed after being told about it from my local Comic Book store owner. (Ian @ Dead Universe Comics, Aylesbury) It's not the same as it used to be. It still has the same great variety of Comic sellers, but there's also too many Funko Pop sellers, which I can't stand, and not enough Trading Card sellers but I have noticed some Vintage Toy sellers start to appear on occasion and I love me some old school G1 Transformers! It's still great for a visit, and still free entry after midday, and if there's nothing that takes your fancy at the Mart, Forbidden Planet is only a 10/15 minute walk around the corner. I have to say, even after all these years, I do still miss the Camden Centre Card Mart and it's a shame they never really replaced it.
