Those who go along on the day can expect to see hundreds of fantastic cosplay costumes of their favourites from top movie franchises such as Marvel, DC and Star Wars.
There is fun for people of all ages, and there will be workshops that can be purchased such as slime making workshops and superhero mask sessions for kids.
Comic fans can expect everything on sale from comic books, graphic novels, first appearance comics, action figures, statues, pins, Funko Pops, trading cards, keyrings, toys, T-shirts, printed art, original art, mugs, lanyards, candles and Dungeons and Dragons merchandise.
There will also be appearances by Spider-Man, Bumblebee and Optimus Prime the Transformers, Sonic the Hedgehog, Shadow the Hedgehog, Shrek, Ghostbusters, Star Wars Characters and loads more.
Attendees will be able to see props from all movies Marvel, DC, Star Wars and beyond as well as enjoy a selection of Arcade Machines and Consoles with thousands of games on offer all for free.
Organiser Ian Bonar, is hoping it will be another busy day in Paisley.
He said: “We’re hoping to get another good turnout and make it a regular thing for comic fans in the area.
“We’re friends with Comicrazy who are based in Paisley and have proven there is a popular fanbase in the Renfrewshire area for our type of events.
“I am hoping to see some familiar faces in Paisley. The first market we held in Paisley had a great turnout. So, we’re back and hope to build on it to make it a regular market.”
Tickets can be purchased via the BGCP website or can be purchased on the day.
Due to the expected popularity of the event, organisers recommend that visitors order tickets in advance to avoid queues on the day.
