In a change from previous years, CAPTION will be held in Wolfson College, Oxford, a large graduate college in North Oxford, beside the River Cherwell. ☛more
Our special guests Al Davison and Pat Mills can talk about the recent history of British comics from very different perspectives.
We also have an academic strand relating early sequential graphics to the comics of the present day. Dr Tony Keen will be talking on ‘From Trajan to Trigan: Sequential art in the ancient world and the ancient world in sequential art’, and Dr Gideon Nisbet will be reprising his popular talk from CAPTION 2003, ‘Comics that scroll’.
In true academic fashion we are introducing lightning
talks -- where we ask people to talk for fifteen minutes
on something they know a lot about, be it tricks for
drawing bicycles or tips for promoting comix in shops.

Jeremy Dennis will be running ‘Autobiography of Everybody’, with small groups writing joint autobiographies, playing on the subjectivity of personal history.
