I sat down and planned 2012. It doesn’t look very ambitious, but considering I quit C’est Bon Kultur, which is a very well-oiled unit in every respect, those are the events I dare promise to show at.

April 27-29 Stockholm International Comics Festival, Stockholm

What used to be called SPX has probably been renamed to avoid confusion with the (slightly better-known) Washington festival. It remains, however, Sweden’s foremost comics festival, and you don’t want to miss it if you’re a local. Shoot, in recent years even Top Shelf and Buenaventura Press have been going!

In a bit of a “beauties and the beast” constellation, I’ll be tabling with two of my favourite comic artists, Sofia Falkenhem and Eliza Frye. Can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to that!

October – AltCom, Malmö

Although the AltCom festival still hasn’t been announced for this year, I’m taking for granted that it will continue to fill the biannual gap between  ISV comic festivals, and anyway it’s right in my backyard, so I’ll be there in one capacity or another.

November 12-18 – Thought Bubble Festival, Leeds

I’ve wanted to go to TB since I first heard of it, and with the amount of talent in th UK at the moment, I would really be stupid not to go. So far the exhibitor signup hasn’t opened, so no details are available yet – other than I’ll be there, manning a table alone or with friends.
