With the Comica Festival 20th anniversary celebrations continuing apace this month we have a very special opportunity for Broken Frontier readers! This Thursday March 23rd sees another of the Comica panel/discussion events at London’s Century Club, this time between artists Lucie Arnoux (Je Ne Sais Quoi) and Lucy Sullivan (Barking). Appropriately this Lucie/Lucy extravaganza will be on the subject of autobiographical comics in a talk titled ‘How to Turn Your Life into a Comic’.
If you’re interested in hearing what will no doubt be a fascinating exploration of the question “what does it really take to transform your personal, sometimes private experiences into pictures and words for all to see and read?” then attending this event has just become all the more affordable for Broken Frontier readers. If you book online here and use the code Frontier50 at checkout you will receive a massive 50% discount on the price of a ticket, meaning you’ll be paying £7.50 rather than the standard £15.00.
You can read a recent interview with Lucy Sullivan here at BF and, given the news this week that Barking has been picked up by a bigger (as yet unnamed) publisher for a new edition, this seems a very timely opportunity. Comica has an excellent tradition of facilitating fascinating conversations on the medium, its practitioners and its potential after all…
