		UKCAC diary -- the weekly strip from the crypt
		In lieu of advice, here is the report of an experience; UKCAC Diary, a strip I wrote after the last UKCAC.
		By the time this strip came to be drawn it wasn't in London any more, and the enthusiasm of the 80s was long gone.

	cleanskies: UKCAC diary continues after weekend break
		UKCAC diary continues with my descent into the evening.
		The iron-willed dictator we're all missing is Fiona Jerome, at that time heading out of the comics scene to form a brand new magazine called Bizarre; she didn't make it up to Manchester for UKCAC.
		The tall man I'm burbling at is Gavin Burrows, Zineking of the Brighton small press scene.

	Eagle Awards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		X Men was one title which regularly gathered handfulls of awards, mainly for it's writing and art during the Chris Claremont and John Byrne era.
		It wasn't until Britain had a regular annual comic convention (the United Kingdom Comic Art Convention, commonly shortened to UKCAC) in 1986 that the awards became a regular event.
		During this time creators such as Alan Moore and Alan Davis would win awards while characters such as Batman were always firm fan-favourites.

	UKCAC97 Report
		UKCAC was the unfortunate anacronym for the United Kingdom Comic Art Convention, the only fan based comics convention in the UK that tried to cover all genres and degrees of professionalism.
		This was a strange UKCAC for me in that it was the most intense and yet the most relaxed I've been to.
		By the evening I was knackered and resisted Rik Hoskin's demands to come back to his place in Twickenham, so after a meal and a couple of drinks I went back to Brum with the rest of the posse.

		In the wake of Miller's Dark Knight efforts were being made to put regular and established creative teams on the two monthly Batman titles.
		The initial choices didn't stay with the books for more than a few months, but firstly with Mike Barr, then with Jo Duffy and finally with the British pairing of Alan Grant and John Wagner, Norm Breyfogle became the book's regular artist, often in tandem with fellow UKCAC guest, inker Steve Mitchell.
		Happily the move coincides with the meeting of the creative team here at UKCAC, and we look forward to Norm Breyfogle's first visit here.

	COMICON.com: GOING CHEEP # 35: Hypothetically Speaking PT 1
		It was just UKCAC, a place that I went along to, paid my entrance fee, haunted the back issue area, attended the occasional panel, spent a lot of time in the coffee area...
		The badges that the creators wore gave rise to what was known as the "UKCAC crouch", as you walked past the guest, stooped to read the name badge and then straightened as you passed them.
		In this case, the large badge attached to the man's lapel showed that he had the same first name as the fellow I was thinking of, although I couldn't see the surname.

	cleanskies: UKCAC diary -- the weekly strip from the crypt
		In lieu of advice, here is the report of an experience; UKCAC Diary, a strip I wrote after the last UKCAC.
		When I was a student it was the British comics convention, held annually in London (there was a sister con called GlasCAC) and teeming with all the comics fervour of the late 80s.
		By the time this strip came to be drawn it wasn't in London any more, and the enthusiasm of the 80s was long gone.

	Sequential Tart - A Comics Industry Web Zine (Volume II, Issue 10, November 1999)
		The latter years of UKCAC had featured as its Saturday night event the National Comics Awards, organised and staged by UK comics professional Kev Sutherland.
		KS: UKCAC used to have a gap in the Saturday night schedule so, partly to give attendees something to do, and partly as a profile-raising event for the dying UK comics industry, Mark Buckingham and I came up with the National Comics Awards, which grew into National Comics Week and got us some great publicity.
		We did it again on a smaller scale for Manchester in '98 and, when UKCAC folded, I decided to extend the style and marketing approach of the Awards into an entire weekend, which became Comics '99.

	Rich's Ramblings '98
		The news that the Manchester UKCAC will be the final one was greeted with the thread heading "UKCAC R.I.P." on the Comics Animation Forum on Compuserve.
		"I'd say that the failure of UKCAC is because of the success of single day comic fairs which are prolific for such a small island.
		"UKCAC was a perfect watering hole and annual gossip dissemination centre for people in the biz.

	Kev Sutherland Interview
		When UKCAC died in 1998, I took over the reins, and designed an event that would bring in new readers rather than, fatally, relying on the old ones.
		I've set myself a mission to bring in new readers, which is why the door price is so low, and under 12s get in free.
		We now charge 6 quid for the two days, whereas the old UKCAC (7 years ago) was charging 15 quid.

		Although all Sonic the Comic issues are out of print and Egmont Fleetway has no obvious intention of continuing producing STC the matter of whether or not scans of the comic strips are legal is not clear so don't do anything stupid with these scans e.g.

		Not that I don't want to read guy's zines, just that I was looking for other girls writing about their lives.
		While we were in London for the Fall 92 UKCAC, I found a cool zine called Girlfrenzy in a small magazine shop.
		It was a comic-oriented zine "by women for everyone" and it listed several zines by girls in the US that I'd never heard of.

		I don't know Andy well, but I'd like to share a memory of him.
		At a UKCAC (UK Comic Art Convention) sometime in the mid-nineties I was getting back into self-publishing comics, and went for the first time to meet some fellow small-pressers.
		Like many people who spend far too much time in their rooms over the drawing board when they should be out socialising and getting some fresh air, I was quite anxious, nervous, apprehensive about actually going up and talking to these fellow creators, who were likewise mostly introvert, but doing their best.

		Probably the biggest thing was, over ten years ago, getting together with some of those nice people I mentioned earlier to start up the UK's longest-running alternative comics convention, Caption, a weekend-long celebration of the UK's weird and wild alternative comics scene.

	Alan Moore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alongside roughly contemporaneous work such as Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, Art Spiegelman's Maus and Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez's Love and Rockets, Watchmen was part of a late 1980s trend towards comics with more adult sensibilities.
		Moore briefly became a media celebrity, and the resulting attention led to him withdrawing from fandom and no longer attending comics conventions (at one UKCAC in London he is said to have been followed into the toilet by eager autograph hunters).
		Marvelman was reprinted and continued for the American market as Miracleman, published by independent publisher Eclipse Comics.

		Shot myself in the foot there.'"), and a particularly sorry tale of what happened when Klaus Janson was let loose on his Hulk artwork.
		Bizarrely, I was at the panel at the UKCAC (in 1996 or 1997, I forget which), where he showed off his "sideways She-Hulk" artwork.
		This would be the convention where I asked him, in all innocence, whether he based the look of Hitman on his own face.

		When the UKCAC was over, he began planning and organizing the next convention for 1999.

	Eagle Awards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		For many years, the Eagles were the premiere comics awards in Britain, and were a mainstay of the U.K. Comic Art Convention.
		After the UKCAC ceased, the Eagles' prestige declined, and they appear to have died out completely for a couple of years.
		The National Comics Awards, part of the Comics Festival in Bristol, took their place as the premiere British comics industry awards.

		I missed the final UKCAC, which used to be the top comics event in the UK, where Vertigo would hunt and trap British writers and comics artists from far and wide would supplicate themselves at the feet of Tharg.
		But a few years later, Kev F Sutherland came on the scene with his Comics Festival near the beautiful spa waters of Avon, in Bristol.

	Planet Cutie!
		I remember going to similar events in Bristol in 2001 and 2002.
		Even during my most fanboy days in 1995 (ah, UKCAC, so many memories, so much dysfunctional behaviour...) I never bothered going to any of the 'events' laid on for convention-goers.
		I hung about in the small press area to flog whatever crappy zine I'd done, and occasionally wandered off to buy some old issues of Green Lantern and Fantastic Four.

		Over the years since White Trash my communication with Martin grew less and less as he focused more on his clothes line and what truely interested him.
		I'll never forget this fresh faced artist showing me his portfolio at UKCAC one year (I was editing Deadline at the time) and I gave him a story straight away.
		His spirit was so bright and his talent showing so much potential that I wasn't surprised by his capturing so many peoples attention.
