Celebrating Steve Dillon

From Luton to comic book legend.

Luton Comic Con proudly celebrates the life and work of Steve Dillon, the acclaimed artist behind Preacher, The Punisher, Hellblazer and some of 2000 AD’s most memorable stories.

Raised in Luton and beginning his journey into comics while still at school here, Dillon went on to become one of the most respected British comic artists of his generation.

Discover his story and join us for a very special last exhibition celebrating his extraordinary legacy.
