What is it?

The Canny Comic Con is a little festival of comics and sequential art, held in Newcastle.

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. It may not be on quite the same scale as some of the bigger UK comic conventions, but it has a fantastic range of activities, including: talks and panel discussions, workshops, and a hall of stalls where folk can meet some of the finest comic-creating talent from the region and beyond.



Whatever your age or experience, whether you read comics, make comics, or are just interested to know a little more, we hope we had something to interest you.

Entry to the CCC was entirely FREE. That's right, no charge.

Canny Comic Con 2012 was held on Saturday 8th December, 10am-5pm at Newcastle City Library.




The first Canny Comic Con on Saturday 10th December 2011. It was the biggest comics event to be held in the North East for over fifteen years. It was a great day and everyone enjoyed themselves.
