Kings Heath Comic Con in south Birmingham has announced Mark Millar as a guest for its second event, scheduled for 19 September 2026. The appearance is being presented as Millar’s first UK appearance in years, giving the show a major draw for comic book fans.
The convention is the second comic-focused event organised by the High Vis Festival. With the show still building its profile, adding a well-known creator such as Millar is likely to raise interest well beyond the local scene and put more attention on Birmingham’s comics calendar.
Millar is one of the best-known names in modern comics, so his booking stands out as a significant step for a relatively new convention. For attendees, the announcement suggests that Kings Heath Comic Con is aiming to blend a community event feel with guests who have wide recognition among readers.
With more than a year until the September 2026 date, the news gives fans early notice to watch for further guest and programme updates. For now, the headline attraction is clear: Mark Millar’s return to a UK comic convention appearance at Kings Heath Comic Con.
