Not your typical comic convention (with stalls, merchandise, cosplay and so on), and more about comic art, MACC-POW! is Macclesfield’s day of comic-art, specifically celebrating comic artists, cartoonists and creators globally. It's based in Macclesfield's historic Town Hall building, and this year is a day of free drawing workshops.
It's smaller than it was pre-COVID, but will still be a good day, with opportunities to learn to draw comics like the professionals: Tor Freeman (The Phoenix); Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead) and Marc Jackson. Although these are scaled down from previous events, this is still recommended if you have any interest in drawing comics and cartoons.
Macclesfield might be on the northern edge of 'Stoke on Trent and surrounding area' but it's well worth a visit. The town itself has a good range of shops, which are all reappearing after COVID and would appreciate some local support.
Saturday 4 September, 10:00 am - 3:00 pm. Spaces are very limited to 12 per session, so book early, and only book if you are certain you can attend.
