BAM Comic Zine Art Fair

A diverse range of art, talent and creativity will be on show at BAM!, Bath’s Comic, Art and Zine Fair this weekend, so drop by the Komedia on Westgate Street to see it for yourself.

Read, maker of absurd comics; Vi Roberts, a big fan of comics/graphic novels – they aim to create many themselves as well as discover other comic artists in the process; Cornish queer maker Rusty, who is making art more inconsistent than your uncle’s humour – his work focuses on annotation, reinvention, and, sometimes, raw comedic gold; Sar, who makes zines about wizards, demons and goblins and is a comics creator/illustrator based in Oxford, whose work featured in the Paper Towel Zine by Duplikat Press; Moll Saunders, who’s obsessed with the things she sees day to day, and likes to make zines based on her adventures to share with people; Lily Sockmonkey, a relative newcomer to the zine scene; London-Based Micro-Publisher Tribute Press; Uhm!
