CAPTION 2009—Away with the Fairies
Oxford’s annual small-press comics festival is away with the fairies on Saturday and Sunday 15–16 August 2009 at the East Oxford Community Centre. Join us for a weekend of talks, panels and workshops about comics, minicomics, and grubby photocopied whatsists. Relax in the bar and discussion areas. Buy comics from our very select collection of stallholders. Sell your own comics via the CAPTION table.
We like all sorts of comics and comix and manga and webcomics and we meet in Oxford in the summer to have panels about comics, workshops about writing or drawing comics, or just to sit in the bar and talk about comix with like-minded people.
We try to undermine the distinction between fans and creators—lots of our attendees will themselves have written or drawn comics at some point, whether it be a photocopied manga short or a webcomic or a series in the DFC, 2000AD or some American comic (but you don’t have to be a comics creator to enjoy CAPTION!).
