Comica

London’s International Comics Festival, Comica, is coming up next weekend.  Full details are here: http://www.comicafestival.com/index.php/site/news/book_now_for_comica_symposium_brian_bolland_battle_of_the_eyes

Highlights include the launch of Russell Willis’ new graphic novel interface, Sequential, which we hope to cover in more depth on these pages.  And Dave Gibbons has come up with WHAAT!, a rather splendid riposte to the work of Roy Lichtenstein, currently undergoing a retrospective at Tate Modern.

The Tate asked if Lichtenstein had changed tour view of art.  No, but Irv Novik, Russ Heath and Jack Kirby did, as did many others.
