South London Comic and Zine Fair returns after four year hiatus next month

By John Freeman on June 21, 2022

The free South London Comic and Zine Fair (aka SLCZF) returns on Sunday 10th July 2022, for its third outing at Stanley Arts (formerly Stanley Halls) – after a four year hiatus.

The Fair offers a gathering of creators and collectives of all shapes, sizes, stories, genres and moods, brought together at an iconic South London venue, for a marketplace style event.

Award-winning cartoonists, pioneering A-grade publishers, DIY Zine makers and an array of book artists, come together to show, share and sell their creations. Follow the event on Instagram or Twitter for information on creators taking part.

There will also be plenty of reading space, an all-ages comic and zine library, and a short programme of talks. Not to mention, Stanley Arts’ own cafe and bar will be open for the day for those who would like a hot or cold drink with their comics and zines!

• South London Comic and Zine Fair (aka SLCZF) 12 noon – 6.00pm Sunday 10th July 2022 Stanley Arts, 12 South Norwood Hill, London SE25 6AB | Free | Web Event Details: stanleyarts.org/event/south-london-comic-zine-fair/
