MACC-POW!, Macclesfield’s day of comic-art, is once again being held inside the fantastic Town Hall building in June.
On the guest list for this free event are Lew Stringer, Paul Grist, Missed Deadline, David Leach, Emmeline Illustration, Nick Brokenshire, Laura Howell, Dick Vincent, Jessica On Paper and Tor Freeman to name just a few, along with the event’s first ever guests from Barcelona – Lorenzo Montatore and Genie Espinosa, at MACC-POW! with support from the Lakes International Comic Art Festival.
“There are so many fantastic things happening this year on the day and for the first time, on selected dates prior to the event as well,” enthuses organiser and comics artist Marc Jackson. “We’re back within the line-up for this year’s Barnaby Festival and it’s going to be a comics-packed day of coolness and fun for all-ages.
“We’ll have our cartoon-a-room showing specially selected cartoon, drawing activities for young and old (with drop-in guests throughout the day),” Marc continues, “and panel discussions about careers in comics, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of comics events in the UK.
“This year we have been supported with incredible generosity from local businesses whose help will go towards making this event even better!
“There will be lots more to share over the next few weeks and month’s as we build to the day, so keep your eyes peeled and make yours MACC-POW!”
