The Orb!

The Orb can be refered to such a diverse range that it will make next years comics even more interesting to see. Here's a couple suggestions from wikipedia:

• Orb (astrology), the difference between the exactness of an astrological aspect
• Orb (optics), an unexpected, often circular photographic artifact
• Celestial orb, a central concept in ancient and early-modern astronomy
• Globus cruciger, a hand-sized sphere over which the Christian cross is set
• Sovereign's Orb, one of the best known Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom
• Orb web, a type of spider web

Good luck!

All entries will be on display at our 1 February First Friday and this exhibition will move to the Pie Factory for 16th to 24th February 2013 where we’ll invite people to identify the stories they think should win. These peoples’-choice picks will share the winners’ podium with the judge’s choice – as chosen by Paul Gravett, author of ‘1001 comics you must read before you die’

A rainforest entry for The Great Tree

Our first AIC3 entry lumbers in...

We’ve had our first entry for Adventures in Comics 3 (AIC3), all the way from Sarawak, Malaysia. Sarawak has vast areas of lowland and highland rainforest, but one of the highest deforestation rates in Asia. Maybe the brief for AIC3, The Great Tree, struck a chord.

Can you hear the great tree calling? The third Adventures in Comics call for entries

If you’re a comics fan who creates – or longs to create – their own comics, then we invite you to pick up the third annual Adventures in Comics (AIC3) gauntlet.

We’re proud that AIC is now in its third year and that Paul Gravett, author of ‘1001 COMICS YOU MUST READ BEFORE YOU DIE’, will once again help organise the festival.
