ARGH! June 4, 2009

Mighty Quinn presents ARGH! The Ups and Downs of Life as a Comic Book Creator. A nostalgic and hilarious evening of comic book history!

Tickets £8.50 / £6.50 concessions.

Stories told in pictures have been around for a long time but it was those Masters of Mirth the Victorians who finally came up with the handy, dandy-sized comic book and a whole new astonishing art form was created. Comic book scriptwriter, illustrator and editor Tim Quinn takes you on a highly nostalgic trip down memory lane to meet some of the great and not-so great comic characters of the last 150 years. Tim also takes you behind-the-scenes from his days working for The Beano, Sparky, Bunty, Playhour, Jack & Jill, Buster, The Topper, the Daily Mirror's Jane and Garth, and America's finest Marvel Comics to running his own comic book company alongside the elder daughter of Enid Blyton. He will guide you through the creation of a brand new comic book character and reveal to you his own secret identity as that Supreme Speedster, Jet Lagg.

The audience is invited to attend wearing capes and masks.

Suitable for 9 - 150 years! (No nudity, swearing or violence but please come anyway.)
