Pre reg and Table booking now closed, but you can still pay on the door.

More guests confirmed: Ian Churchill and Dave Hine, plus a free movie screening at 7pm! :-)

Not a new dinosaur movie, but a new Comic Convention in the heart of Britain's second city.

The new Birmingham Comic Con on August 27th welcomes star guests: Mark Millar, Chris Sprouse, Doug Braithwaite, Alan Davis, Dave GIbbons and many many more to the Holiday Inn, Smallbrook Queensway, just a short walk from New Street Station.

To find out more or to book tickets go to: www.thecomicsshow.co.uk

Was just about to start a thread about this and now I see I don't need to :-)

I will - of course - be there so hope to see some of you too

Who said it would be chinese??? 
Some breaking news folks: We have confirmed Mark Millar, Dylan Teague, Staz Johnson, Wil Sliney and Si Spencer for the Con and more names will be confirmed very soon 

Check out our website at: www.thecomicsshow.co.uk as we'll be updating it very soon

all the best

Really looking forward to this event... as has already been copy and pasted here, I am looking at organising a smallzone booth for those who can't afford a whole table.

(Surely more effective than a 'pubcon' guys?)

It's a one off deal for the weekend so open to all publishers not just smallzoners.

Full details are on the dedicated facebook page at:

Events have conspired against me and it is unlikely that I'll be able to make it (there is a slim chance but I won't know until Friday), which is a pity as I was hoping to meet everyone.

If it all comes together it'll be a mad dash down on Saturday morning - will there be tickets for the day available on the door?

Leeds is a great night out.

After the con we go to a great bar called Sergent Peppers which is £12 to get in and then free drink all night (and it's in crawling distance of the Travel Lodge we stay at) 

The music in there is great too! :-)

Sadly I ain't going.

Frustratingly, Smallzone won't have a table there so I won't have any PARAGONcomic on sale there

Anyone around here got a table to sell there wares on who would be willing to take a few on? (For a cut of the cover price, naturally)

Sorry to hear that Davey... and sorry I can't sell the comic for you there. I just can't run a show and a table at the smae time I'm afraid 

For wossy times and dates please keep checking the website for updates.

TV presenter and comics writer Jonathan Ross will be joining us at BICS this year as our very special guest.
He'll be signing copies of Turf and taking part in a special event involving a digital version Of Tommy Lee Edwards which we think could well be a UK Comic Convention first! :-)

The pre-booking prices have almost doubled since the beginning of last week. 

Really? That's a bit cheeky isn't it?

Always best to book hotels as early as possible the prices do go up nearer to the time you want to book. I find that in most cities I've stayed in. Always best to book at least a month in advance... more if possible.

Can I suggest if any of you are coming to the show in a group...try Arcadian Apartments. We always use them for our own accomodation over the BICS weekend.
If there's a bunch of you it's dirt cheap and the apts are real luxury

Under 5's are free :-)

I'll be there Saturday as well. Questions guys - I'm bringing my two little ones, one of which is only two - should I pay at the door in case the 2-year-old is free? Or are there limited tickets?

Hi Matt

I'll email James and see if I can get you on the guest list. It's very strange of him not to reply to emails right away. Drop me a line at: shane@thecomicsshow.co.uk with your email details and I'll forward them to James.

Can I just mention that any pros who are not already on the guestlist and who do not have tables can you please email james@thecomicsshow.co.uk to secure your guest passes before 1st September.

cheers

Shane

I did this twice and never heard back either time.  Guess I'm just not famous enough...
