‼️ UPDATED EVENT INFO - 08.09.2025 ‼️

Doors open at 10:00 — please enter through the back entrance of the warehouse (we’ll have signs to guide you).

We’ve split the day into two blocks to keep things organized and relaxed:

11:00–13:30 — Sketch Focus

  • If you’ve purchased a sketch ticket, we recommend coming during this first block. It’s when artists will be most focused on sketches.
  • 👉 If you bought a signing + sketch bundle, you can also get your signing done during this time — no need to wait for the second block.

13:30–15:00 — Artist Lunch Break

  • No signings or sketches during this time.

15:00–17:30 — Signing Focus

  • This block is ideal for anyone with a signing-only ticket. We’ll keep things flowing and make sure everyone gets quality time.

18:00 — Finis!

  • Can’t attend at the right time? No problem — we’ll do our best to accommodate you. Just email simone@waltscomicshop.com ahead of time.

If youdo not wish to appear in any footage or photos, please email simone@waltscomicshop.combefore the event.

We’ll take a reference photo of you at check-in (for internal use only) to make sure you’re not filmed — it will be deleted at the end of the day.

  • Free tickets do not include access to sketches
  • Signings may be possible later in the day, depending on crowd levels — and only if you make a purchase of at least €10 per artist
    (we'll have plenty of options for each artist ready)
  • Signing ticket holders will be given priority in lines

We think that’s only fair to those who pre-booked — and we hope you understand!

If you've never visited us before: it's 1,000 m² of pure comics love — and on September 20, it's all yours.

It's on Saturday, September 20. We will update this info with opening times and a schedule end of the month.

Expect something around 10-18h for opening times!

The event itself is free of charge — no entry fee!

However, if you'd like to get signatures or sketches from our guest artists, you'll need to purchase the corresponding tickets.

This helps us manage the event smoothly, keep things fair, and ensure that everyone gets meaningful time with the creators.

No! You can use your voucher on anything in stock (except food & drinks). With over 25,000 products available at the event, you’ll have no trouble finding something you love!

We grant a full refund for tickets/vouchers until September 17th. If you do not attend the event, the vouchers will loose their validity.
