UKCAC

UKCAC ( "United Kingdom Comic Art Convention" ) was a British comic book convention which was held between 1985 and 1998.

History

It was organised by Frank Plowright and Hassan Yussuf throughout via their company Rusty Staples starting in 1984. Many others contributed either for a few years or on the convention days themselves. Most prominent was Richard Barker, who assisted in 1986 and 1987 and then became a full organiser between 1988-1990. It was held in London until 1997 and Manchester in 1998. A second convention ( called the "Glasgow Comic Art Convention" ) was organised by Rusty Staples and held in Glasgow from 1990 to 1997.

UKCAC was succeeded by Comic Festival, run in Bristol from 1999 - 2004, then by Comic Expo, which began in 2005.
