A quick reminder that queer comic fair inQ! holds its inaugural event this Saturday, September 7th, at the London LGBTQ+ Centre on London’s South Bank. Co-organised by Manga Jiman award-winning artist Chloe Starling and Lauren O’Farrell (author and street artist Deadly Knitshade) inQ! looks to provide “a diverse selection of queer, small press comic and zine creators, in a safe and welcoming space that celebrates the queer narrative where words meet pictures.” The event runs between 1pm and 7pm. Full details on the site here.

New comics fairs to replace those we lost at the height of the pandemic are always important to support. BF will have representation and we hope to see you there on Saturday!
