ENNISKILLEN ComicFest returned last weekend for a full weekend of events, building on the success of previous years that has drawn together leading figures in the highly-popular comics field.

ComicFest ran over the entire weekend and was packed with creators, merchandise and comics on sale. There was lots to see and do for everyone with even a passing interest in comics.

This year, superstar artist, Alan Davis – who has illustrated very successful runs of Batman, the X-Men, the Avengers, the JLA, Spiderman, Excalibur, Captain Britain and many popular characters from both Marvel and DC – made his first visit to Enniskillen.

Also attending this year was Mick McMahon, famous for drawing some of the biggest Judge Dredd and Slaine stories for 2000 AD; Cam Kennedy, who has illustrated stories for Battle Action, including Fighting Mann and Clash of the Guards, as well as Rogue Trooper; and Geoff Senior, the main artist on the Transformers comic.

Other guests this year included Dave Windett, who has drawn Korky the Cat for The Dandy, and popular licensed characters such as Inspector Gadget, and Sonic the Hedgehog; and Will Simpson, comic artist and storyboard artist for the smash hit Game of Thrones television show, who made a return to Enniskillen.

These were just some of the 20 guests from across Ireland and the UK who appeared at the hugely successful event. There was also a special exhibition of original art by Steve Dillon.
