Over 20 writers and artists from across the UK and Ireland will be attending and guests of honour include John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra, the creators of Judge Dredd, Steve MacManus, legendary editor of 2000AD, and Marvel and DC artist Yanick Paquette. Also among the guests is Nigel Parkinson who draws Dennis The Menace and Minnie The Minx for the Beano!

To tie in with ComicFest the Fermanagh Film Club will be having a special screening of the acclaimed documentary Future Shock!: The Story Of 2000AD tonight (Wednesday 3rd May) in Fermanagh House. Tickets will be available on the door.

This Friday 5th May features a Schools Programme with the attending professionals presenting a range of talks and running workshops in Enniskillen Library, organised in conjunction with local schools.

Then on Friday evening ComicFest is proud to present A Celebration of 40 Years Of 2000AD in the Ardhowen Theatre where all our guest creators will be interviewed and video material screened.  The audience will also be able to put questions to our 2000AD Guests. Tickets for this unique event cost just £8 and are available via the Ardhowen Theatre website.

The main event is taking place this Saturday 6th May and this year the venue will be Enniskillen Castle. The newly refurbished museum and visitors centre reopened last summer and we are delighted to have Enniskillen Castle hosting ComicFest. The event will run from 10am until 6pm and is a free event so no ticket is required.  All guests will be signing and sketching everything from Dennis The Menace to Batman throughout the day and there will be a programme of panel discussions and interviews. There will also be costumed characters in attendance for photo opportunities, as well as independent comic creators, exhibitors, merchandise and back issue dealers.

ComicFest 2017 will conclude with a Charity Auction with all proceeds going to the Horizon West Childrens Hospice. 

A full programme of events is available on the Enniskillen ComicFest facebook page.
