Comics
Manchester Literature Festival
Join Bobby Joseph, the UK’s Comics Laureate, for a fun and creative comic-making workshop. Bobby started out making Skank Magazine, where his superhero character Scotland Yardie first appeared. He will show you how comics have helped him tell his own stories – and how you can tell yours too. You’ll get to create your own characters, think up adventures, and learn from one of the best. Bobby’s brand-new graphic novel – My Dad Fights Demons! is coming out this autumn. Come along and get inspired to make your own comic.
Suitable for ages 7 – 11. (Parents/guardians are welcome to wait in the Z-arts café.)
PLEASE NOTE: there are two sessions of this workshop available to book: 11.30am – 1pm & 2 – 3.30pm
