UK Gets New International Comic Art Festival!

Posted: January 18, 2013

Mary and Bryan Talbot, winners of the Costa Book Award for Best Biography for Dotter of Her Father’s Eyes, the first graphic novel ever to win a Costa, are the founder patrons, along with Fatale artist Sean Phillips, of a thrilling new venture in Kendal, Cumbria. This October, for the weekend of the 18th to 20th, the whole town will be celebrating the very best in comics from all over the world at The Lakes International Comic Art Festival. I have to keep things secret right now, but I have been assured by enthusiastic Festival organiser Julie Tait that some amazing big-names will be coming. Put these dates in your diary and follow upcoming announcements via their website. Kendal is going to be famous for more than just mintcake!
