Meet FQP- ICE in Birmingham August 2014

Following on from the triumphant not-winning of the Best British B&W comic at the True Believers last month, you will have the opportunity to discover for yourself why FutureQuake has consistently placed in the top five nominees for the last 6 years.

FQP will have a table for the entire event selling copies of all of the comics currently available, including FutureQuake, Something Wicked and the 2000 AD fanzines Zarjaz & Dogbreath.

Editor Dave Evans will be there to critique art portfolios and considering the number of creatives to pass through the pages of FQP, this is an opportunity you won't want to miss.

Don't forget- everyone who spends more than £10.00 can claim one of artist Bolt-01's sketches, for more details talk to the man at the table- he'll only be too happy to chat.

FutureQuake in the press: Birmingham Mail

Paul Birch over at the Birmingham Mail has posted about the stories being weaved by JJ Robinson for FQ.

From Second Chance by JJ Robinson; art by Alex Paterson. Available in FQ 24.

From The Grimaldi, art also by Alex Paterson; available in FutureQuake 25.

A bit of a song and dance...

(Poster by Alex Paterson)

Coming soon to a theatre in Bristol for one night only- A BIT OF A SONG AND DANCE is a 'Script in hand' session for an upcoming play (I think it is a workshop type thing where the actors get to work through the script to make sure the stage directions work, but I might be talking out of my hat- D) that is available for one night only.

The reason I'm bringing this to you? The writer, Gill Kirk wanted a comic artist for the poster. Dan Whiston (writer of the Neroy Sphinx stories) passed Gill our way and via a combination of timing and the right artist being in the right place Alex Paterson was able to provide the superb image above.

Tickets are available HERE and we wish Gill a successful night.
