Argh!! The Ups and Downs of Life
as a Comic Book Creator - Tim Quinn
Square
Chapel Centre for the Arts
Saturday 4 July - 7.30pm
Tickets: £7, £5 concessions, £5 under 20s
A nostalgic and hilarious evening of comic book history! Stories
told in pictures have been around for a long time… from prehistoric
cave wall drawings through the Bayeaux Tapestry. But it was those
Masters of Mirth the Victorians who finally came up with the
handy-dandy-sized comic book and a whole new astonishing art form
was created.
Comic book scriptwriter, illustrator and editor Tim Quinn takes you
on a highly nostalgic trip down memory lane to meet some of the
great and not-so great comic characters of the last 150 years. Tim
also takes you behind-the-scenes from his days working for The
Beano, Sparky, Bunty, Playhour, Jack & Jill, Buster, The Topper, the
Daily Mirror’s Jane and Garth, and America’s finest Marvel Comics to
running his own comic book company alongside the elder daughter of
Enid Blyton. He will guide you through the creation of a brand new
comic book character and reveal to you his own secret identity as
that Supreme Speedster, Jet Lagg.
The audience is invited to attend wearing capes and masks.
Suitable for boys and girls from 9-150!
Save £1 when you book for the Cartoon Workshop at
the same time! |
