UKCAC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

UKCAC ( United Kingdom Comic Art Convention ) was a British comic book convention which was held between 1985 and 1998.

[edit] History

It was organised by Frank Plowright and Hassan Yussuf throughout via their company Rusty Staples starting in 1984. Many others contributed either for a few years or on the convention days themselves. Most prominent was Richard Barker, who assisted in 1986 and 1987 and then became a full organiser between 1988-1990. It was held in London until 1997 and Manchester in 1998. A second convention ( called the Glasgow Comic Art Convention ) was organised by Rusty Staples and held in Glasgow from 1990 to 1997.

UKCAC was succeeded by Comic Festival, run in Bristol from 1999 - 2004, then by Comic Expo, which began in 2005.
