Comic Village Kicks Off 2012 with Double Midlands Dates




MCM Expo’s acclaimed Comic Village hits the road again this year, giving fans across the country the chance to check out the latest works by home-grown indie comics creators.

The first stop of 2012 is the popular Midlands Comic Con at Telford’s International Centre on 18th February, with a talented line-up featuring artists and writers such as Matthew Craig, Lily Mitchell, Jenika Ioffreda, Tanya Louisa Roberts, Tyler Wilson and Josh Clarke.

Comic Village stays in the Midlands for the brand new Birmingham Comic Con, which runs alongside the Memorabilia show at the NEC on 31st March and 1st April. Creators already confirmed for the show include Mogzilla, Lee Fenton-Wilkinson, Hester Macfarlane; John Maybury, David Paul Shirley, Rob Cureton and Sarah Childs.

Memorabilia visitors will also get the chance to check out all the comics goodness as well – ticket holders for either event will have access to the other show free of charge.

Dedicated to bringing together comic creators of all styles, mediums and levels to promote the good word of sequential art, the Comic Village will also be attending MCM comic conventions in London and Manchester during 2012.
