REPAINT Your Heroes with Comic Artist Graham Pearce at this year’s Lancaster Comics Day

By John Freeman on 24 May 2016

After the success of last year’s Lancaster Comics Day, Preston-based comic creator Graham Pearce – best known for his wonderful SGT. MIKE BATTLE indie comic – is back with his popular REPAINTED workshop where he will be inviting comic fans both young and old to reimagine your favourite comic characters like never before!

“I ran the first ever REPAINTED workshop as part of Lancaster Comics Day last year,” Graham reminds us. “I was a bit nervous about how it would work and if anyone would turn up but I had a great time. So many people took the time to sit down and make their own REPAINTED pictures (I think some of the adults enjoyed it more than their kids!).

Here are just some of the amazing images that were created on the day and if you’re on Facebook, you can view more here
