Ticketholders will also be able to take pictures with an X-wing starfighter from Star Wars and a replica of the iconic DeLorean from the Back to the Future series, as well as taking advantage of the free face painting and cosmetic tattoos.
A range of stalls and traders will also be at the event, while families with children can enjoy free arts and crafts activities.
Speaking to Grimsby Live, Amanda said: “This will be the third year for the Beachside Comic Con but myself and my husband have been in the industry for eight or nine years. To see how far the event has come is absolutely amazing.
“We love bringing events to Cleethorpes – we’re local people and live just down the road, so we absolutely adore bringing something like this to Cleethorpes and showing our love and passion for Comic Cons. People must feel the same because we always get such a good response, and it’s amazing to see people coming in their costumes and cosplays. We absolutely love it.”
