London’s Bubbling Over with Comics Again!
Posted: April 7, 2011
There’s plenty going on in the wide worlds of comics over the coming days in London. Tonight, I’m off to the launch party for Hail To The King!, a tribute exhibition to the American comic book genius Jack Kirby at the Resistance Gallery. This show runs till the end of April.
Tomorrow night David Blandy is screening his new Hiroshima-inspired artist’s film Child of the Atom at the ICA at 6.30pm with collaborating Manga artist Inko, and Hayley Campbell and Tim Pilcher are delivering their provocative double-bill of comics lectures on Sex, Death, Hell & Superheroes at The Last Tuesday Society.
Superhero multi-media geekfest Kapow! will dominate this weekend at the Business Design Centre near Angel and if you’ve not snagged an advance ticket, you can’t get it on the day but can watch lots of the proceedings on the IGN Network’s hub.
And then next week brings the London Book Fair and I’ll be chairing three different graphic novel seminars, one each day - Monday Graphic Novels as Literature with Dan Franklin (Jonathan Cape), Angus Cargill (Faber), John Harris Dunning (Salem Brownstone) and Kevin O’Neill (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen); Tuesday Graphic Novels for the Boys with Eoin Colfer (Artemis Fowle), Ian Culbard (Sherlock Holmes), Rob Davis (Don Quixote) & Brady Webb (Panini Marvel); and Wednesday The Graphic Novel Renaissance with Sam Arthur (Nobrow), Olivier Cadic (Cinebook), Emma Hayley (SelfMadeHero) & Lizzie Spratt (Walker). These seminars are free but you do have to be registered to attend LBF, sorry it’s not open to all. Hope to see some of you at some of these events over the days ahead.
