Birmingham Comic Con, August 27th
« on: 25 April, 2011, 03:45:56 PM »
This is an odd one:

Quote
So the Birmingham  British International Comic Show may have bitten the dust. But it has been replaced by its twin brother (or possibly sister), the Birmingham Comicon, organised by, basically, the same people who organised BICS.

How peculiar.

John Freeman has more:

Quote
The new one day event springs from the lack of a two-day BICS this year - the result of work at Aston University which meant that event's established venue, the Thinktank in Millennium Point, was unavailable. After an unsuccessful search for a new venue with similar facilities, the ICS team decided on this 2011 BC event instead, whose line up already includes guests such as Eisner Award winner Chris Sprouse (Tom Strong, Batman) Watchmen co-creator Dave Gibbons and Peter Hogan (author of books on bands such Queen and R.E.M. and comics ranging from The Dreaming to Tom Strong).

2011 B.C. will take place at the Holiday Inn Birmingham, close to Nostalgia & Comics. Admission will be free to children under 12 accompanied by an adult.

For more information on 2011 B.C. visit: www.thecomicsshow.co.uk

I could certainly pop down for the day. I imagine Bolt and other local folks might be interested too.

I'm up for this - will there be the chance of self-pimpage and selling and all that exciting malarkey?

This event was talked about quite a lot over the Bristol weekend- and there may well be quite a strong show from the Hive there. Looking forward to it all the more- and not just for the Chinese buffet afterwards!
