Kapow!@GFF (the Glasgow Film Festival) 2012

[Emperor]

Sounds like this should be worth a visit if you are in the area:

As Jeremy Briggs first reported last month, Glasgow Film Festival ambassador and local superhero Mark Millar and artist Bryan Hitch are to helping to kick ass with Kapow!@GFF – Glasgow Film Festival's film strand next week, dedicated to graphic novels, gaming and beyond.

Now in its second year, Kapow!@GFF offers superhero classics old and new, unmissable discussions and debates, documentaries and premieres and this year includes appearances from artist Charlie Adlard and writer Gordon Rennie.

...

In a series of events with very special guests, potential comickers get the chance to hear expert testimony of adventures in the graphic art industry when Mark and other premier exponents relate their journeys through time and space. Bryan Hitch, Kate Brown, Frank Quitely, Charlie Adlard, Rhianna Pratchett and Gordon Rennie will all take part in conversations with the audience while Dr Chris Murray and John McShane discuss Scotland and the Future of Comics and Denise Mina, Penny Sharp and Gillian Hatcher talk about women's experiences in the industry and the future of how women are drawn.

The list of events looks like you could have a solid few days there just on comics:

Here's the real thread from last year: http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php?topic=31640.0

The Silent Running thing wasn't very good.

I did briefly try to pimp Electric Man on the trailer thread. By far the best sounding thing on that "kapow!" line up is the Tetris docco, which seems to have no connection to the others whatsoever.

We've already missed A Boy and his Samurai on Sunday.

Charlie Adlard is also doing a signing in Forbidden Planet on Thursday 23rd Feb from 5pm to 6pm.

If you can't make that one, Huff, he may actually be in Edinburgh as well.
