As we mentioned after last week’s Comixed event, we are having a number of comics made from the COMIXED: A NETWORKED CONVERSATION event at the Zion Arts Centre, Manchester on 28th October.

The comics are being illustrated and created by Manchester-based designer/illustrator team YOUNG who attended the event.
