Comica Comiket 2011: Reviews & Photos

Posted: November 15, 2011

“A grand day out in Bishopsgate: After five years of attending Comica’s Comikets, the event has finally come of age. Though previously held in some wonderful locations such as the ICA and the Pump House in Battersea Park, this the first time that the combination of venue and location has worked so well to bring in the kind of footfall that I’m sure made every exhibitor’s day worthwhile. With plenty of passing trade, free entry and a magnificent continuous large-screen live drawing display kept visitors in the hall.”
Francesca Cassavetti, Fabtoons

“Hurrah! This year’s Comiket, part of Comica Festival, was a brilliant success. Three cheers to Paul Gravett, Peter Stanbury, events co-ordinator Megan Donnolley and all the other people who worked so hard to make it happen!”
Sarah McIntyre, Vern & Lettuce

“Paul and Peter do an excellent job with Comica, and Comiket has a great social vibe, lots of my current comic buds were met at the early ones.”
Sean Azzopardi

...and Bleeding Cool has a nice write-up of the Warren Ellis conversation with Lenny Henry which happened later that evening.
