3. Comix Reader Launch Party – Wednesday 2nd February
Venue: The Crown Pub
51 New Oxford Street
London WC1A 1BL
6.30pm to closing
Launch of a new Comix Newspaper…from the Editor:
“The Comix Reader is in part an attempt to recapture some of the free spirit of the underground press, and is also an experiment in publishing: 9,000 copies paid for and distributed by the artists. Printed on newsprint and costing only £1, it's accessible to fans of the art form and hopefully also intriguing to people who might not have read many comics”
All the best
Peter
