Comic fanzines: a rich source
of raw talent on show. |
Comics 2002 UK Festival
CUP KO'D BY COMICS!
The mood was upbeat, reflecting intense interest
in comics as Hollywood continues to pick up superhero and other strip
properties.
There was one shock for regular fans in the Fifth National Comics Awards
– no doubt due to the wide placement of voting forms in various British
comics this year. The Beano ousted chart topping regular 2000AD as favourite
comic – both present and ever. "It just goes to show, a lollipop
every second week gets you the votes," said Beano
editor Euan Kerr.
