Pro Con Hits Birmingham In June

Comics Launch Pad is a very different kind of comic convention. While usually comic book professionals attend conventions for free, at Launch Pad they pay – but they are the only ones allowed to attend.

It's a convention for comic book professionals or aspiring professionals, with talks, seminars, demonstrations and workshops in Birmingham, England.

Keynote speakers will be Joey Cavalieri, senior editor at DC Comics talking about writing for the company, and Klaus Janson who will be reprising the seminar he gives with Marvel editorial staff for up-and-coming Marvel artists.

The show will also have a heavy emphasis on digital comics, both writing, drawing and publishing for the medium, with a special digital presentation by Diamond.

Other talks will be given on breaking into comics by Emma Vieceli, inking by Mark Famer and Klaus Janson, using the global marketplace with Tim Pilcher, designing comics by Jimmy Broxton James Hodgkins, fight choreography by Al Davison, and more from Rufus Dayglo, Andi Watson and others, with portfolio reviews from Marvel, DC, Rebellion and more.

Tickets will only be available in advance from here.
