SCAMP Sydney's Brand New Comic Arts Festival - Saturday November 23rd

SCAMP is Sydney’s brand new comic arts festival and marketplace with an amazing line-up for it’s first year. SCAMP will feature artists, writers, and makers from all across Australia, from big names working at Marvel and DC, to small press comics made by local artists, to amazing kids comics.

There will be live panel talks with artists, writers, and publishers, as well as performance art, a kids craft area, and a zine style marketplace buying comics directly from their creators. SCAMP saw a gap in the Sydney comics landscape and wanted to fill the gap but creating our own comics-centric event for both fans and creators.

WHEN: Saturday, November 23rd, 10am-4pm

WHERE: Petersham Town Hall
