\"Thought[ENGLISH] Thought Bubble tells us:<\/strong> Tickets on sale now for the North of England\u2019s largest comic book celebration. Featuring a huge one day comic book convention at Saviles Hall, Leeds\u2019 largest convention space on Saturday 21st November – with leading artists and writers from around the world and 100\u2019s of exhibitors from across the UK.<\/p>\n

The third annual Thought Bubble sequential-art festival will take place this year from the 19th \u2013 22nd November at a variety of venues across Leeds. The festival celebrates comic books, manga, anime and graphic novels in all their different guises, including everything from superheroes to independent small-press, and aims to cater to both long-time comic book fans as well as those who have never picked up a graphic novel before.<\/p>\n

\"Thought<\/a><\/p>\n

The main goal of the Thought Bubble Festival is to promote literacy and creativity. Over 4 days we will be hosting art and writing based workshops and masterclasses for young-people and adults, as well as panels and talks by industry professionals. We will also present, in partnership with Leeds International Film Festival, a programme of sequential-art related film screenings with premiers, previews, anime and cutting edge comic based documentaries.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s festival will also feature our 2nd book- crossing event in partnership with 6 comic based publishers. Hundred\u2019s of free comics and graphic novels will be placed across Leeds in venues, such as cafes and restaurants, information points, community centres and retail outlets. A special card will tell the person that has picked it up they can read it and take it home, pass it on to friends or colleagues or simply leave it where they found it for the next person.<\/p>\n

The centrepiece to the festival is a special one-day convention at Saviles hall on Saturday 21st which\u00a0 the gives fans and audiences the opportunity to meet some of their favourite comic book creators for sketching and signing sessions, and also browse a huge selection of memorabilia on sale \u2013 provided by some of the best exhibitors and dealers from across the country \u2013 all of which spans over 160 display tables. Our convention will also include live art installations, portfolio critiques, panel discussions and masterclasses. The convention is viewed by many in the comics community as one of the best events of its kind in the UK, with Mark Millar (writer\/creator of Wanted and Kick-Ass) calling it \u201cthe best con in the world\u201d.<\/p>\n
