The British International Comics Show (BICS) has made its first official announcement for 2010 – the show will be taking place across the 16th and 17th of October at the Think Tank, Millennium Point in Birmingham, with guests from the UK, Europe, North America and Japan. From the official description:
“This year the guest list includes the complete creative team from Vertigo’s runaway success “Unwritten” including award winning illustrator Yuko Shimizu, writer Mike Carey and penciller Peter Gross. There will also be a special appearance by Artist Jimmy Broxton as visitors have the chance to take part in an exclusive “Unwritten” panel at the show. Vertigo editor Pornsak Picheshote will also be at hand conducting portfolio reviews and taking part in events.
Other big names flying in from across the world include Turkish creator Mahmud A Asrar and American Superstar Tommy Lee Edwards who’s work can be seen in the new Jonathan Ross penned series “Turf” .”
A large number of the UK comics creators will be there too of course, including Duncan Fegredo (Hellboy), Alan Davis (X-Men), Charlie Adlard (Walking Dead) and Sean Phillips (Criminal) to name but a few – I’m sure that list will grow considerably in the next few months.
