Frome Comic Con – this Sunday – our hometown show!

We are delighted that the fun and frolics of a comic con are coming to Disconnected’s home town of Frome, Somerset this Sunday.

And in proper Frome style, there will be a LOT of excitement! Take one Star Wars Cantina themed pub, add Time Travel Hill, our take on Diagon Alley (with a sorting hat at the top), and a Big Bang Theory themed coffee house.

That’s not to mention assorted TV and movie folks, a De Lorean, a Batmobile, a TARDIS or two, some Mustangs (because Mustangs), and two cosplay cabaret shows.

And comics!!

Disconnnected Press will be at Black Swan Arts in the heart of Frome (pictured, and here’s a map), along with some of our favourite friends: Transformers and Turtles contributor JP Bove, Jess Bradley from The Phoenix, the irrepressible Big Punch Studios, the unique and wonderful Psychedelic Journal of Time Travel, the awesome Sara Dunkerton – artist on house favourite MULP and the wonderful Vince Hunt, he of the Awesome Comics Podcast and Red Mask From Mars. A select gathering of comics loveliness!

We’ll be upstairs at the Black Swan Arts from 11am on Sunday 14 August. Come and say hello to some of the South West’s finest comics writers and artists, snap up some comics and graphic novels, original art and prints, and perhaps some words of advice and insight if you’re a budding artist or writer.

We’ll see you there!!

 

Bristol Comic Expo returns – this Saturday!!

We’re delighted to be returning to Bristol Comic Expo on Saturday 6 August at the Doubletree by Hilton (formerly the notorious Ramada!).

Bristol was our first comic con as wannabe creators and – a few years later – our first as Disconnected Press. We launched Disconnected Vol 1 and Lost:Boys back in 2012. In the last four years, we have published 12 (or maybe 13) books, attended numerous other shows, and watched our individual creative careers go from strength to strength. In just the past week, Conor’s latest project was announced at the mummy of all comic cons in San Diego – he’s drawing a reboot of shark-fest Hookjaw, written by the fabulous Si Spurrier and published by Titan Comics!

So it’s great to revisit the city where our comics journey really started and to support the relaunch of Bristol Comic Expo.

Come and find us at the Doubletree by Hilton between 10am and 5pm this coming Saturday, see what we’ve been up to, bring cake and (after 5) share an ale or two in the bar.

Go on, you know you want to…
