The afternoon workshop is followed by a talk on his wide and varied career which includes The Beano, Sparky, Bunty, Playhour, Jack & Jill, Buster, The Topper, the Daily Mirror's Jane and Garth, and America's finest, Marvel Comics, to running his own comic book company.

Audience members are strongly urged to come in capes, costumes and masks.

The workshop is at Tamworth Assembly Rooms from 2pm on Satruday, July 11. Tickets cost £5.

The Ups and Downs of Life as a Comic Book Creator starts at 7pm and tickets cost £9 or £7 concessions.

There is a £2 discount for booking both at the same time.
