A Comical Combination

Combine your comics at the 6th Annual Comic Festival, and check out Craig's first foray into cyberspace.

14 May, 2004

Calling all comic fans - our very own comic, the peerless Mr. Norman Lovett, will be attending the 6th Annual UK Comic Festival, lending weight to an already impressive line-up of guests. If you've always dreamed of getting that early 2000AD edition signed by your comic creating heroes and your favourite senile ship's computer at the same time, then this is surely the event for you.

Running on the weekend of the 29th and 30th May, at the Empire & Commonwealth Museum, Temple Meads, Bristol, the festival is just the place to immerse oneself in the majesty of the comic form (and to see what freebies can be blagged of course...) There is even the chance to have your own efforts judged by leading comic creators!

Norman is only able to appear on the Sunday, however with tickets selling from only £5 there really is no excuse not to make a weekend of it.

Not one to rest on his laurels either, Craig Charles has recently made the giant leap back into cyberspace. A preview version of his new website now readily available at www.craigcharles.co.uk. (Regular visitors may have noticed that the previous site has been unavailable for what seems like three million years.)

Featuring a cartoon Craig on every page, the site will soon contain news and features on each and every one of Craig's multifarious projects - not least his recent recording of a The Weakest Link special entitled '90's Icons'. Just how much cash can our man bank in the face of wicked Welsh-hater Anne Robinson?

Finally, a reminder that you can see Craig as you've never seen him before - space mumps aside - on Channel 4 on Monday, May 17th at 9pm. The show, Celebrities Disfigured, promises to show Craig, and model Caprice, coping with deformity for two days in public under prosthetic make-up.
