Comic marts

Comic marts

Comic Marts are normally one day events where comic book dealers can trade in a town or city.These are sometimes linked with signing sessions by comic creators.

In the UK there have been regular Marts since the early 1970s in cities like Liverpool & London.

However since the rise of internet shopping and websites such as EBay, marts have decreased in number and now only a few run on any sort of regular basis.
