2020 may have been a bit, well, average – to say the least. But for hundreds who tuned in – and continue to tune in thanks to the 90 plus interviews, presentations and workshops still online, and some virtual exhibitions, too – the Lakes International Comic Art Festival managed to put smiles on many a comic lover’s face with #LICAFLIVE, a wonderful online celebration of comics.
In the latest Festival Podcast episode, Ian Loxam and Nikki Bates are joined by contributors Mike Williams and Pete Taylor, to discuss the weekend and the events that took place.
