Meet the Skrawllordz in the latest Festival Podcast!
After a short break, the marvellous Lakes International Comic Art Festival Podcast is back, with not just one guest to interview, but six!
This latest episode features the Skrawllordz, who describe themselves as “a secret society forged in the fire of LICAF compelled to explore the alchemy of comic creation”.
Saturday 27th June would have been this year’s 5th MACC-POW comic event in Macclesfield – but of course, the Coronavirus has claimed the real world event.
The Lakes International Comic Art Festival is delighted to announce the launch of its Virtual Comics Clock Tower ahead of LICAF LIVE, the virtual comics event taking place 9th – 11th October 2020 that replaces the usual Lakes International Comic Art Festival this year.
