This was an excellent report on the @yocomicsfair.bsky.social (an indie comics fair focussed on kids) by @tomeenmurphy.bsky.social that we ran at @brokenfrontier.bsky.social last year. www.brokenfrontier.com/yo-comics-fa...

🚀 YO COMICS FAIR IS BACK! We are thrilled to announce that Yo Comics Fair, a comic fair FOR kids and BY kids, is back at South London's @stanleyarts.uk on MARCH 22nd 2026! Woo hoo! See you there! www.yocomicsfair.co.uk

*blushing*

Hot off the Press! I’m interviewed about #megaphonecomics @yocomicsfair.bsky.social in new article on @brokenfrontier.bsky.social Thanks @colossive.com for your words support!

Lovely write-up on @brokenfrontier.bsky.social of the other week’s @yocomicsfair.bsky.social. Really was a brilliant day, hope it is just the beginning. www.brokenfrontier.com/yo-comics-fa...

In the good news column, I was at a launch last night at gosh and everyone was BUZZING about the kids comic fest, @yocomicsfair.bsky.social. Apparently kids were losing their minds with excitement about meeting comics creators. Kids still value the real thing!

So lovely to see people’s reactions to MEGA ROBO VILLINOOS at @yocomicsfair.bsky.social and on here! My co-creator is not one to visibly show emotion unduly / at all if he can help it, but I can tell he is secretly very pleased.

Had a great time @yocomicsfair.bsky.social @stanleyarts.bsky.social where I made a 3D Multi-Story Mega-Mural for Megaphone Comics with the help of the Yo Comics! participants 🙌

Had a fantastic time at @yocomicsfair.bsky.social in London yesterday! Failed to take any photos (of course), and am now too exhausted to tell you all about it (of course), but it really was an amazing day and I just want to say a huge thank you to the organizers and to all who came along!

Drawing from comic workshop with Gary Northfield @stupidmonster.bsky.social during awesome @yocomicsfair.bsky.social ✍🏼

Brand new! And ready for @yocomicsfair.bsky.social tomorrow! "Oh No...Ghosts In Things" 24 new ghosts in 24 new things (sort of)

Set up at @yocomicsfair.bsky.social which is already heaving

ATTENTION! @yocomicsfair.bsky.social is happening NOW @stanleyarts.bsky.social - come along for loads of fab comics and to laugh at the funny man with the sign… #downwiththiskindofthing
