Stories told in pictures have been around for a long time…from prehistoric cave wall drawings through the Bayeaux Tapestry. But it
was those Masters of Mirth the Victorians who finally came up with the handy-dandy-sized comic book and a whole new astonishing art
form was created. From the Penny Dreadful to today’s 250 penny dreadfullers, comic book scriptwriter, illustrator and editor Tim Quinn
takes you on a highly nostalgic trip down memory lane to meet some of the great and not-so great comic characters of the last 150
years. Tim also takes you behind-the-scenes from his days working for The Beano, Sparky, Bunty, Playhour, Jack & Jill, Buster, The
Topper, the Daily Mirror’s Jane and Garth, and America’s finest Marvel Comics to running his own comic book company alongside the
elder daughter of Enid Blyton. He will guide you through the creation of a brand new comic book character and reveal to you his own
secret identity as that Supreme Speedster, Jet Lagg.
The audience is invited to attend wearing capes and masks.
