Calling Artists & Writers for © Science Comic!
Posted: November 28, 2012

Science Meets Comics, and Comics Meets Science! The British Science Festival in September 2013 at Newcastle University wants to create a comic book anthology that will talk with children about science. They want artists and writers to collaborate with scientists (and they will provide the scientists!). It will be a one-off comic aimed at 8-14 year olds who come to the festival and will be a free giveaway, likely to be 40 pages full colour on newsprint. If you would like to be involved, please fill in an expression of interest form and return it to Lydia at this address (newcastlesciencecomic[at]gmail.com). You can find this and lots more info about the project and the sort of contributions they are looking for on the Newcastle Science Comic Website.
They are also hosting a SUPER MASH-UP event at Tyneside Cinema on 16th January 2013, 5:30-7pm to get scientists talking with artists and writers, to match up potential collaborators, and brainstorm for ideas. A full brief will be made available to scientists and comic artists/writers as the project develops. Please fill in this online booking form for the SUPER MASH-UP event, so they know how many refreshments to order. Image © Cuttlefish Comics.
