Brit Comic Creators Abroad: Who's at San Diego?

(Updated 16 July): British comic publishers and creators will be making their presence felt at the San Diego Comic Con (21st - 24th July), including Com.X, 2000 AD publishers Rebellion and many more. Plus, you can expect many Brit creators to be taking part in activities organised by every major US publisher such as Marvel, DC Comics, IDW, BOOM! and others.

Here's a very quick run down of what you might want to look out for if you're attending... (please note, booth numbers are per the SDCC web site but may change in the run up to the event)

• 2000 AD
With its re-vamped web site and plenty of US-formatted product, Rebellion are making a big push into the US in advance of the new Judge Dredd movie.
Visit them at Booth #2806

• BBC America
While not a comics publisher, you might well find some Doctor Who goodies on their stand, especially given that the show was the BBC's Number One best-selling show worldwide last year
Visit them at Booth #3629

• ComX
Publishers of Razorjack, Class War and other great indie titles, tell us they've got some exciting new projects coming up, plus some interesting San Diego exclusive goodies. One of their recent reeases was Seeds by Ross Mackintosh - a touching tribute and powerful, autobiographical account of one man’s experience, combining humour, sadness, philosophy and honesty.

In the massive convention's Artist Alley, you may find several Brit creators, including David Lloyd. But many Brit creators are on the show's guest list, so they'll be turning up on panels.
