It's Official ... BICS is back for 2010!

Britain's largest and most popular event devoted to comics and graphic novels of all kinds returns this year with a truly international flavour as the organisers welcome renowned creators from as far a field as America, Japan and Europe.

Over the weekend of October 16th – 17th at the state of the art Think Tank, Millennium Point in Birmingham, visitors can look forward to a full program of events celebrating the medium of comics and manga including panels, competitions, book launches and a huge trade fair featuring the UK's most well known publishers and dealers.

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 Arsar and American Superstar Tommy Lee Edwards who's work can be seen in the new Jonathan Ross penned series "Turf".

Along with a whole host of UK creators such as Duncan Fegredo (Hellboy), Alan Davis (X-Men), Charlie Adlard (Walking Dead) and Sean Phillips (Criminal) to name just a few – BICS 2010 boasts the most diverse and impressive guest list of any UK event.

The  extravaganza that is the BICS Friday Night Launch Party is now to be held at Oceana in Birmingham City Centre

The exclusive party will take place in First Port, a welcoming room dressed with warm lighting and cushioned seats. This informal lounge, based on a cruise ship lounge, creates a fashionable yet classic feel. There will be an exclusive V.I.P area; the Aspin Ski Lodge, a log cabin reconstruction, complete with fur carpets on the walls, candle style lighting, wooden structure and it's own mounted moose head!

"How do I get to go to this sophisticated shindig?" I hear you cry.

I'm glad you asked, all you have to do is pre register your tickets for the show at: www.thecomicsshow.co.uk/tickets and you're in...Simples!

I believe them, thee, and me, will be there. I shall endeavour to shake your hand and, perhaps, even buy you a pint in recognition of the better-than-a-decade association we share within the industry, during which time I have spoken not one single word to you in the environs of meatspace.

:-)

Cheers!
