Dear all, The Fourth Annual Dundee Comics Day will be held on Sunday 27th June 2010 in the Tower Building, University of Dundee (11am – 7pm). The theme is how comics are made, with artists, writers and editors discussing the process of creating a comic. Speakers include famed artist Alan Davis (Captain Britain, Miracleman, Excalibur), legendary writer and editor Pat Mills (2000AD, Slaine, Nemesis, Requiem Vampire Knight), the hugely influential editor Dez Skinn (Warrior, Doctor Who Weekly), celebrated artist and designer Rian Hughes (Dare), and professional Manga artist Nana Li, who will be giving a workshop on creating Japanese style comics. There will also be an exhibition on the career of late DC Thomson artist Bill Ritchie (The Beezer, Baby Crockett).
