Article: Comica Festival 2012 - Putting Comics First!

Posted: October 28, 2012

Among several hats, I wear one real favourite, as a co-director with Megan Donnolley and Peter Stanbury of Comica Festival. Together with some amazing sponsors, supporters and volunteers, we’re Team Comica, collaborating to make a festival that above all is about “putting comics first”. You can read an interview with me by Matt Badham from 2009, discussing the origins of the festival in 2003 and its developments over the years. In 2010, after initially being based at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, Comica became independent and since last year has been set up as a not-for-profit social enterprise. This year’s 9th London International Comics Festival is without doubt the most ambitious yet. It kicks off next Friday, November 2nd for the rest of the month. So I thought this would be good timing and a good opportunity to discuss some of 2012’s packed programme. Read the rest of my Article here…
