Liam Sharp Retrospective

LIAM SHARP will be talking about his career as a comic strip illustrator, and his involvement in film and TV industry at QUAD in Derby on Wednesday 28th October.

Twenty years ago Liam Sharp made his presence known within the British comics industry drawing Judge Dredd for 2000AD and Death's Head for Marvel UK. His talents would be sought out in America where he would draw comics like The Incredible Hulk for Marvel, Spawn for Image, and currently the bestselling Gears of War for DC's Wildstorm imprint.

Establishing his own comics company, Mam Tor, he produced the Event Horizon anthology title, and with top advertising agency Mother (London) to produce a free comic for Time Out, that appeared as a quarterly in 2008. His other advertising work includes the poster and comic for the recent Rubberduckzilla campaign for Oasis, and the Hello You campaign for Diet Coke featuring Duffy. His work can also be seen on US TV in the current Do You Speak Coke? campaign for Coca-Cola.

His critically acclaimed first novel, the epic sci-fi/fantasy God Killers was published last year and he has worked as a concept designer on the movies Lost in Space & Small Soldiers.

The event is free, takes place at QUAD, Market Place, Cathedral Quarter, Derby on Wednesday, 28 October from 7.30pm and promises to be candid and honest. "There'll be a slideshow, show-reel, questions & answers and definitely a pint or three afterwards!" quipped the creator.

It will be a highly entertaining and popular evening and you can book a place by emailing: cin@derbyquad.co.uk.
