Manchester Literature Festival 16th-26th Oct

Now normally I probably wouldn’t got to this but being a fan of Sci-Fi and crime novels I’m sorely tempted . . . the reason I’m tempted is because on Saturday 18th Oct they’ve got writer Paul Carnell and Ian Edginton will be there to I presume have a Q & A on what its like to create comics explaining the pitfalls, the highs, the lows with the fans of there work.

Paul Carnell has worked on creating comics based on the BBC’s Dr Who, hes also worked on Wisdom and Benny Summerfield amongst others.

Ian Edginton has also worked on the Dr Who magazine, Marvel, DC Comics, Planet of the Apes, Predator, Aliens, Torchwood and my favourite 2000AD.

This should be quite a good one for anyone thinking of maybe starting up a comic fanzine, as this will give you a heads up and you never know one day you might be up there instead telling others who you did it and how these 2 inspired you.

There’s plenty more going on at the MLF that I am after seeing, but will discuss these in another post as presently I cant find my MLF guide, so having to do this from memory.
