(Hilda has a busy few months ahead of her!)
If you are a regular UK Comic Convention goer you can’t but help to have noticed that October has become quite the busy and competitive month. I’ll be attending and tabling under my role as Events and Sales Rep for Nobrow and thought I’d let you know where you can get our books.
First up is this weekend in Kendal the Lakes International Comic Art Festival (LICAF). I’ll just be attending this one as a punter but will have some of our new releases with me if there’s anything you wanted bringing along. I have to admit to not having been to LICAF before and will be having a mooch around to see if it’s worth Nobrow tabling there next year. I’ve just scanned the ‘Guests’ and ‘Exhibitors’ categories on the website and notice that there are a couple of people shown as attending who have cancelled so it might be best to check before travelling if there’s someone in particular you’re looking to meet?
Find their website here https://www.comicartfestival.com/ and follow then on Twitter @comicartfest
Next up is the excellent Nottingham Comic Convention. I have been to every one of these so far and always had a blast. Kev and Kel Brett are local heroes and run the event for charity. In fact this year’s anthology ‘Slings and Arrows’ not only sports a cover rom Chris Imber and Chris Jenkins but also sports stories from Myself and The Mighty Prolix, Vince Hunt and a pin-up by Dan ‘The Guns’ Butcher. It is currently funding on Kickstarter and you can find the link here https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1478064521/nottingham-comic-con-anthology-vol-4-slings-and-arrows
At the event this year Nobrow will be tabling with the new Hilda title and some special giveaway surprises for those popping over to the table. More news nearer to the event but make sure you follow Nobrow over at their website https://nobrow.net/ and follow them on Twitter @NobrowPress
Watch out for the new series from Fairspark Books and Little heroes dropping. The Spark is an all ages ongoing anthology that features exciting tales from some great creators. If you cant make it to the event you can head over to https://fairsparkbooks.co.uk/product/the-spark-magazine-issue-1-oct-2019 and order your copy!
Other great guests include The Awesome Comics Podcast (I’ll be hosting a panel with Vince and he’ll be manning the pod table so make sure you head over and give him a pinch), Staz Johnson (make sure you get a copy of his new sketchbook it’s ace!), Rachael Smith, Martin Simmons, The Etherington Brothers and many more!

After the madness of the New York Comic Convention I’m buying some comfortable shoes and a flask for three days of busy comics craziness at the MCM London event from Friday the 25th to Sunday the 27th October at the Excel Centre in London’s East End. We’ll be on the main floor with every conceivable piece of Nobrow, Flying Eye and Hilda goodness you could possibly need. Pop over and see us for some new releases and cracking giveaways. (And a coffee for me would make me your best buddy!)
Head over to https://www.mcmcomiccon.com/london/ and get your tickets!
Less than two weeks after MCM is the Thoughtbubble yearly pilgrimage. This year the venue has changed to the town of Harrogate and Nobrow will be out in force. I’ll be posting the details of the Hilda Exhibition that will be in the town that week soon. It’s going to have original art and unseen Hilda bigness that you won’t want to miss!
We are huge fans of this comic convention and it really has quite a line-up this hear (other than us obviously). Brian Azzarello, Jillian Tamaki, Daniel Warren Johnson, Terry Dodson, Christian Wildgoose and YES!!!!! The Awesome Comics Podcast. Vince will be manning the table and he and I will be there repping the podcast day and night!
Get your tickets for this event over at https://www.thoughtbubblefestival.com/tickets
We might even have a cheeky representative from Thoughtbubble on the show next Monday who will give you a full rundown of all the saucy happenings in Yorkshire this year. Keeps your eyes on the Awesome Comics Twitter account @theawesomepod for more details. You can find the pod on all your podcatchers or over at https://awesomecomics.podbean.com/
I’ve applied for a Zine Fest in London to sell Springworth and The Whore Chronicles later in November but got turned down.... I’m still chasing some feedback as to why without success. This might even turn into a blog post at some point. More soon.
Many thanks for reading.
