Yep, it's back again! Sly booze and comic-ry from Leeds or thereabouts! Courtesy of Steve and Shug!<\/p>\n

The second\u00a0Leeds Alternative Comics Fair<\/b>\u00a0takes place on the 19th March 2011, 12 noon-6pm, at A Nation of Shopkeepers bar (behind Leeds City Art Gallery). Steve Tillotson (banal pig comics) and Hugh \u201cShug\u201d Raine (REET! Comics) are again to organise the event: <\/p>\n

\u00a0"We were very pleased with the way the first fair went in September and it seemed that the exhibitors, visitors and the venue were all happy, so we have decided to keep the format largely the same. The fair will keep its intimate scale and we are pleased that the majority of the creators we chose last time will again be selling their creations.<\/p>\n

\u00a0As before, we are focusing on creators from the North: from the North East will be Gary Bainbridge, Andrew Waugh and Ben Clark, from Manchester will be Adam Cadwell and new to the fair will be John \u201cScary Go Round\u201d Allison from Oldham. Everyone else is from Leeds and West Yorkshire: Steve Tillotson and Hugh Raine, Helen \u201cMemo\u201d Entwisle, Krystina Baczynski, Geof \u201cFetishman\u201d Banyard, Dr Simpo, the Black Dogs collective and another newcomer to the fair, Huw \u201cLem\u201d Davies. The only exception is Gareth Brookes who, although from London, is an honorary Northerner for the day!<\/p>\n

\u00a0The event promises to be a fun, relaxed environment in which comics fans and the uninitiated can browse and buy comics direct from the creators, without entry fees or table costs and we're sure A Nation of Shopkeepers will again be the perfect venue. It also hosts the \u201cDoodle Booze\u201d drink and draw events run by OK Comics and is a popular gig venue that holds up to 850 people, with great food and drink.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
