ICE grips Brighton in June! (No, it’s not a weather report)

ICE Brighton Summer Special 2017

Some of the biggest stars from the world of comic art are coming to Brighton this June as part of ICE Brighton 2017 – an international celebration of the medium organised by Smallzone Events.

As the summer sun beats down, a cool experience is promised at the Hilton Metropole on Kings Road on Saturday 10th June 2017 and leading the international guest list of superstar comic book creators is Italian Iceman artist Alessandro Vitti, who is joined by American artist Matt Hollingsworth (well known for his work on such well known characters as Preacher, Daredevil and Batman), and legendary Ranxerox artist Tanino Liberatore.
