In a few weeks time it's time for Dutch Comic Con! We're excited! We're still making up our minds which comic cons to visit. Because Dutch Comic Con, FACTS and Weekend of Hell are all in a row. Dutch Comic Con kicks off on March 25th and 26th!
We already wrote about the guests of Weekend of Hell and today it's time to discuss Dutch Comic Con. Hopefully this will help us to make up our minds!

We're very excited about the guests Dutch Comic Con already announced. Of course we're always hoping for more guests ;). But the list is great already! The first guest Dutch Comic Con announced was Gates McFadden. I didn't know her at all. But I read she's known for Star Trek: The Next Generation (as Dr. Beverly Crusher). I was very happy with the second guest announcement! That was Sean Maguire! I know Sean mostly for his role in Once Upon A Time. I started to watch this series this year and it got me hooked completely. Sean plays the role of Robin Hood. And I think he's great in Once Upon A Time! So I'm very excited that he will be attending Dutch Comic Con. He also played Leonidas in the movie Meet the Spartans.
I'm also a big fan of the series The Walking Dead. And usually Dutch Comic Con invites a great guest from the series. Last year, I met Seth Gilliam (Father Gabriel) at Dutch Comic Con and the year before I met Michael Cudlitz (Abraham). And this year, Dutch Comic Con doesn't disappoint us! They invited Lennie James (Morgan) to come as a guest. I'm really happy. It would be so great to meet him! He's also known for playing in Jericho and the Tv series Buried.
Another guest I don't know (yet) is Ian McNeice. He's known as Winston Churchill in Doctor Who! So great news for Doctor Who fans! He's also known for Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, Around the World in 80 Days and Doc Martin. Virginia Hey will also be a guest at Dutch Comic Con. She's best known for her role as Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan in the series Farscape. She's also known for Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior and The Living Daylights.

You can also have a picture with him when he's done with his transformation.
Dutch Comic Con also invited Henk Schiffmacher again. I've already seen him a couple of times at DCC. Many Dutch people will know him for tattooing work. You can even get a tattoo from Henk at Dutch Comic Con!

It's not like every day, there are comic cons being organized, where it is accessible to you. That being said, I can feel your excitements, Liz and Carola. You know what? Instead of picking one over the other, why don't you attend both??? And while at it, why not get into the contest? Would love to see you post photos soon. :)

Sounds like a great list of people - I'm sure you'll have a blast! Do you get into the cosplay side of things at all? Because if you do, we definitely want pics! By the way, I'm sure you should give Dr. Who a try - I used to watch the original when I was very small!

It sounds like this year's Dutch Comic Con is full with exciting event and guests. I would particularly love to see the Ghostbusters fanclub, the Ghostbusters Dutch Division. Seeing how cool their cosplays are reminds me of the launch of the newest Ghostbusters movie, when the entire Waterloo Station got decorated with green slime coming out of the ceiling and a huge marshmallow man coming out of the pavement. I was lucky enough to travel to London that day and snap a photo of the entire design.

It's really exciting to hear about all the guests at the Dutch Comic Con. I would love to meet Morgan from The Walking Dead. I am thrilled with the TV show, so meeting him would be excellent. And it seems the Comic Con is very well organized this year, full of events and various activities. I'd love to attend it!
