Caption Comics Convention Returns To Oxford For 19th Year
After that last article, I need a feel good British comic con story.
It's the longest running comic book convention in the UK. But you won't find any movies there, TV show cast, or even a medium-sized comic book publisher. Because Caption, returning to Oxford this weekend for its 19th year, is a small press comic book convention. Not that it doesn't get big names of course. Indeed it has the highest ratio of attending comic book creators to fans I've ever seen. Indeed creators generally outnumber the readers.
This year they include Paul Grist, Al Davison and Al Davison and Freakangels' Paul Duffield. In fact if you wanted to buy the man a pint to celebrate the final chapter of Freakangels, this would be a perfect opportunity.
Held at the East Oxford Community Centre down the Cowley Road, here's their programming schedule. It's rather unique;
