No Comic Artists or Authors this year?

[Lucifer Adams]

I've just noticed that there's not been any authors or comic book artists listed yet. Whilst I'm aware that it is only March and there's still plenty of time before the show for names to be added, I'm wondering if this absence represents a shift away from these kinds of guests.

Was there an announcement that I missed?

Nothing has been said at all Lucifer.

I hope they add some, but I won't hold my breath! Seems to be they're unfortunately not adding comic book artists to any events (Cardiff and Belfast both haven't got any ) maybe cosplayers are more what they're having instead?

The standard response with any type of guest is that we can't discuss negotiations etc, and that they can be added right up until the event itself.

 

I'm afraid that's the only answer at the moment :)

It's rather odd that the artist alley is empty though. If I remember well, the authors were announced a little later last year as well (more late March early April, if I'm not mistaken).

They tend to get announced in a huge group closer to the Con.

Wait for a time when there's been a few weeks without any announcements then boom, they'll all come up.

There was no artists at all at Cardiff con , which was a big shame as many people love the artists .
