ONLINE COMIC COLOURING

Introducing our new online colouring with artwork from LICAF 2019 by Junko Mizuno!

Suitable for desktop and android devices, this will also work on iPad but may take a bit of time to load on some older models. There’s a zoom slider top right and a switch so you can colour by numbers.

In their own usual hyperbolic words, “better than nothing”, Viz - cartoonists Simon Thorp and Graham Dury - have become a regular feature, if not an institution of sorts, at the  Lakes International Comic Art Festival for good reason – there’s nothing in the world quite like them/it!
