About Us

 Our events will include live draws, interviews, presentations, workshops, exhibitions, book launches, Little LICAF activities, a Comics Marketplace, our second International Comics Rights Market – and provide a chance to get up close to the best comic creators in the world! 

Throughout the year, The Lakes International Comic Art Festival (LICAF) delivers a wide range of projects using comics to achieve positive change. Under the title Comics Can Change the World, LICAF is delivering projects in our local community, across our region and country and with partners internationally. 

We continue to explore how comics can galvanise efforts to address the climate emergency, how they can play a significant role in education – from primary schools to higher education – and much more!
