Who do YOU want to see at BICS?

Personally, I would like to meet:

Tim Sale
Steve Mcniven
Frank Cho
John Romita Jr and Sr
David Finch
Greg Horn
Terry Dodson
Mark Bagley
Barry Kitson
Todd McFarlane
Jim Lee

You'd be surpised how many of these folks we are actually talking to.

Some of these guys won't travel to the UK, but some were actually invited last year but couldn't make it.

Great idea for a thread Simon, we'll be watching this one for sure!

I can imagine that it is tough to convince some US artists, but maybe one can manage to convince some of the more rare UK artists. Artists I seldom see on UK conventions are:
Kevin O'Neill
Chris Weston (seems to be very very busy with "The Twelve")
Ian Churchill
Brian Hitch
Frazer Irving
Mike Ploog
Barry Windsor-Smith

Or how about some Spanish artists?
Carlos Pacheco (!)
Manuel Garcia
Jordi Bernet (!!!)
Pasqual ferry
Salvador Larocca

or Simone Bianchi from Italy?

Maybe it is easier to convince European artists - at least the flight costs are not that huge.

Kev O'neil is at Bristol next weekend.

Is Barry Windsor Smith living in the UK now??

Again many of the names you list, we are already talking to and one is very likely to confirm very soon.

Most folks we talk to want to come to the show, it's just that they often have deadlines or other work/ commitments that prevent them from attending.

Frazer Irving was at last year's show, and Chris Weston did confirm, but had to pull out at the last minuite to to unforseen circumstances. Hopefully he can make it this year.

cheers

Steve "The Dude" Rude ????

Funnily enough Steve has expressed an interest in coming to the show this year and may well still confirm.

As yet he is unconfirmed.

thats amazing

for got to mention david peterson as well

so my wish list

tim sale alex ross david peterson

Steve Dillon
Leigh Gallagher
Jonboy Meyers (great guy)
Katie Cook

I bet I could add loads to my list too

I second the request for David Peterson! I'd love to get my Mouse Guard HC signed and get a little Mouse Guard sketch!


I'd also like to see Olivier Coipel attend again. I was unforunate enough to miss out twice at last year's BICS in getting a sketch. Third time lucky?

It would be cool to see some more of the European guys at BICS though like:

Adi Granov
Stephane Roux
Pascual Ferry

Maybe you could lure Bryan Hitch or Frank Quitely out to make a rare appearance?

Check out the new guest page folks!

Dylan Teague is already on there

Dylan Teague is already on the list, and Paul Grist has just booked a creator table too!

my personal wish list would be,

Jim Lee
Arthur Suydam
Ben Templesmith
David Mazzucchelli
Steve McNiven
Todd Mcfarlane
John Romita jr/sr
Tite Kubo
Frank Miller

In any case: only big name artists who do not charge big
I remember some artists charged 100 UKP for a sketch which I find just to much. I know that this is how it works in the US, nevertheless I prefer those who do not exceed the 20 UKP fee.

would love to see

disraeli (great bloke)
glenn fabry

wish list (aint gonna happen)

azzarello
risso
(100 bullets)

ps if you like Dylan Teague he does a mean judge dredd, did me one at bristol for a fiver.

By the way, if Simon Bisley is there keep him away from the bar

Glenn Fabry would be cool!

Andy Clarke, Tony Harris, Steve Dillon and Michael Lark would be cool too.

We already had Micahel lark in 2006.

We have two big names waiting to confirm that I think may excite a few folks on here. :-)
