A day of fan­zines, com­ics, small press and a smat­ter­ing of arts and craft set to the cosy and friendly back­drop of Brighton’s Cow­ley Club.

And of course it’ll be (ahem)… THAT time of year, so think of it as a means of escap­ing the feed­ing frenzy that will engulf every street in the coun­try for the month. And hey — every­one loves com­ics (even if they don’t know it yet), so you’ll have a wealth of splen­did gifts all under one roof.

So it all starts at mid­day, and will go on till about half six. In the even­ing there will be live music from The Astro­nauts and Pog. Dur­ing the day the Cow­ley Club will be rust­ling up soup, vegan cakes and hot drinks. There’s also a couple of sofas, so it will be pos­sible to spend the whole after­noon read­ing obscure com­ics while gor­ging your­self on eth­ic­ally agree­able nosh. Is there a bet­ter way to spend the day? I don’t think so.

Entry is free, kids are wel­come, and we’re still look­ing for people to come and host stalls — so if you write or draw any sort of small press, make things to wear, things to put on the wall etc, please get in touch with me and I can send you the details and add you to the list:

If you find your­self on Sus­sex Cam­pus on Tues­day 6^th of Decem­ber at 13:15 why not head over the the Meet­ing House for a free organ recital per­formed by James Lloyd-Thomas, the University’s organ­ist? Last­ing just over half an hour it’s the per­fect way to soak up some live clas­sical music halfway through the day, and is open to all.
