Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Lew Stringer Attending: Saturday & Sunday Writer/artist: Sonic the Comic; Viz; The Beano; Toxic! TODAY Lew Stringer is appreciated as much for his wealth of knowledge of British comics as he is for the stories he has written and drawn for them. Across a career that stretches back to the late 1970s when he started creating his own self-published titles, Stringer has contributed humour strips to a vast array of British comics, among them Viz, Oink!, Sonic the Comic, Toxic!, The Beano and The Dandy as well as to Geek for the Norwegian market and to Sweden’s Herman Hedning. Among his most famous creations are Combat Colin (who appeared for several years in Action Force and Transformers at Marvel UK), Tom Thug and Suburban Satanists. To that list should be added the long-lived Brickman, who Stringer introduced in one of his comiczines before he made his professional debut in 1983 in Marvel UK’s The Daredevils #7, While continuing to contribute to The Beano and other titles, the cartoonist is also now producing a regular strip for Panini’s Doctor Who Magazine. -
Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Nigel Dobbyn Appearing: both days Artist: 2000 AD; Sonic the Comic; Spider-Man and Friends MOST of Nigel Dobbyn’s time these days is occupied outside the comics industry working on design and illustration for a variety of companies. However in the close to 30 years since he embarked on a career in comics, he has worked on titles for Dark Horse, DC Thomson, Egmont among others. Starting out at Harrier Comics – a British publisher that occupied the mid-ground between fanzines and mainstream publishing – the artist was soon hired by Fleetway to work on 2000 AD. He was a regular contributor to the self-styled Galaxy’s Greatest Comic from 1988 until 1995, when he transferred across to Egmont’s Sonic the Comic. He remained on that licenced title into 1999 after which he moved across to another. Published by Dark Horse, Digimon – on which he worked during 2000 – was not Dobbyn’s first US outing; that occurred in 1994 when he drew an issue of The Demon for DC for which he also pencilled three issues of Judge Dredd: Lawman of the Future the following year. Apart from Panini’s Spider-Man and Friends on which he worked from 2006 to 2011, the artist’s comics output has dwindled since Digimon. He has, however, contributed to Games Workshop’s Inferno as well as working on Power Rangers strips for Panini/Fox Kids’ Wickid magazine and on Billy the Cat for The Beano.

Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Richard Burton Attending: Saturday and Sunday Editor: Sonic the Comic; 2000 AD ANOTHER Brit whose years in fandom sequed into a long-lasting career in comics, Richard Burton was one of the powers behind Comic Media, one of the UK’s earliest fanzines, which premiered in 1971. From there he swiftly moved on to publish/edit the award-winning Comic Media News before taking an editorial position at Marvel UK in 1978. Two years later Burton – who co-founded the prestigious Eagle Awards in 1976 – wound up CMN after 40 issues. Virtually simultaneously he migrated to Fleetway becoming assistant editor on 2000 AD, where he was immortalised as BURT, an editorial droid first seen in 1981’s Prog 198. Absent from the title from 1984 to 1986 while he worked on other comics and magazines, Burton returned to the weekly in 1987. With Prog 520 he was elevated to editor of the self-styled Galaxy’s Greatest Comic. Assuming the weekly’s traditional Tharg the Mighty identity, he remained at the helm until 1994 leaving after Prog 872 to focus on Sonic the Comic, the title he had launched the previous year for Egmont, which had acquired 2000 AD in 1991. Although he continues to write about comics, two years later he left the medium itself entirely to concentrate on other publishing arenas.
