Caption 2001
Stalls at Caption 2001
Caption,
Oxford's annual small-press comics convention, was held in the
Oxford Union Society, Oxford, England on the
18th and 19th of August 2001.
As in previous years, we will have a select few stalls selling
small-press comics and zines:
- Capricorn Comics
-
Howard Stangroom's selection of the weird and wacky -- dotty
old comics like Lois Lane and Superboy,
old romance comics (especially appropriate for Caption 2001), and
modern American comics that are too quirky for your local comics
shop. Howard co-runs a London shop 30th Century Comics (18 Lower
Richmond Road, Putney, London, SW15 1JP. Mail AmazonBoy@Bigfoot.com Phone 020
8788 2052).
- Comics Creators' Guild
-
The CCG is the professional organization for all British
comics creators -- writers and artists, professional and
amateur. They publish monographs on getting started in the comics
biz, and hold meetings in London on the last Thursday of each
month. Because of closure of the British Cartoon Centre, from July
2001 these have been moved to the White Swan pub, 20 Farrington
Road, London EC4. W!n Wiacek runs the CCG stall to raise money
for the Comic Book Legal Defence Fund.

Pete Ashton's free-for-all discussionzine
Viscious and review sheet TRS turned in
to a small-press distro based in Birmingham. Now he has moved to
London and BugPowder has morphed in to a weblog about small-press and
alternative comics. Andy Luke (Belfast) has taken on
zine-reviewing duties with TRS2, hosted on the BugPowder
site.
