The Thinktank at Millenium Point is hosting the Birmingham International Comics Show on 4-5 October and, with expansion this year, it’s aparently now the UK’s largest comics convention.
Unfortunately, unlike the previous incumbent of the CiB hotseat I haven’t much of a clue about the world of comics so the list of overseas and UK guests is a bit lost on me.
The website is still being put together but there’s enough info on there to give you a sense of what’s going on. In the meantime it might be worth watching this thread on the Inside Pulse forum where one of the organisers is posting updates.
Found via D’Log.
Trust me, those international names are lost on me too. I know my comics but I don’t know who’s hot in the world of superheroes.
If they shipped Kevin Huizenga or Seth over I’d be blogging the shit out of this but it ain’t my scene really.
(Be nice to see some old comics buddies in the bar though, which is what these thigns are all about really!)
What.. Pete… you don’t know Michael Golden?? You must be fibbing! : )
As you know I’m not really big into the superhero stuff myself, but there will – of course- also be a huge amount of Indy publisers present at the show, so there really is something for everyone.
all the best
