There will also be talks and creative sessions for all ages and a chance for fans to show off their incredible costumes and celebrate their favourite characters - get your best comic inspired costume or apparel on and be in with a chance of winning a prize! Scottish Cartoon Studio will be providing a caricaturist - ideal for a take home memento. There will also be face painting and glitter tattoos.
