An event for lovers of fantasy and science fiction will return to Bolton this weekend.
The Big Glasgow Comic Page Comic Con had operated in Scotland for a number of years.
But its organisers decided to spread their wings and made their debut in England earlier this year in the Market Place Shopping Centre.
The event proved a success as lengths queues of children formed of youngsters desperate to get a picture with people dressed up as Bumblebee from Transformers and Optimus Prime.
The shopping centre was full of characters from galaxies far away including stormtroopers and jedi knights.
There was also an appearance from Marvel’s antihero Deadpool.
Comics, toys and art was also on sale throughout the day.
And following the success of the event the organisers will return to the same spot this weekend.
The event will run from 10am-4pm on Saturday and Sunday.
People are urged to order tickets in order to avoid large queues on the day.

Those who attend will be able to buy a range of items including comic books, graphic novels, first appearance comics, action figures, statues, pins, funko pops, trading cards, keyrings, toys, t-shirts, printed at, mugs, lanyards and items from Dungeons and Dragons.
Among the characters from the fantasy world who will be making an appearance are Spiderman, Hulk, Bluey and Pikachu.
There will also be a range of arcade machines and consoles which people will be able to play on.
Since the end of covid BGCP have hit the road and have started running weekly events across the UK.
They have appeared in town halls, leisure centre, shopping centre, train stations and everything in between for lovers of the fantasy world.
Ian Bonar, the organiser, was the one who dressed up as Bumblebee during the early trip to the Market Place Shopping Centre.
He said at the time the first tip had been a success.
He said: “It is the first event we have had down south.
“It has been really good.
“We had 20,000 come to us in Gretna last week but this is a much bigger shopping centre.
“We did not know how popular it would be.”
