Tomorrow sees the The Cartoon Museum in London launch their new Comics Gallery and Comics Creators project. It's completely free, though booking is essential, with this bevy of talent available through the day.

The Comics Creators project has been awarded over £160,000 by the Heritage Lottery Fund to buy original pieces of comic book artwork for the Cartoon Museum collection, to develop exhibitions, activites and events to share the Britsih comic book heritage with a wider audience. And they want some help in deciding what to acquire.

Comic creators and members of the public are invited to bring along their favourite comic and discuss their favourite comic page, artist or character. There will also be an opportunity to have your contribution filmed and recorded for posterity.
