Comics, comic strips, comic books, graphic novels, manga, sequential art - however you want to refer to it, the CCC aims to celebrate everything about telling stories in pictures. We've done events of different sizes but they all boil down to an appreciation and engagement with the medium of comics.
Latest event:
Nothing's booked in at the moment, but no doubt the Canny Comic Con will return at some point!
