The high standard of events being announced for the first Comics Salopia Festival in Shrewsbury is pretty staggering, but the latest event announcement is hitting another level of the creative stratosphere as legendary writer, book designer and public speaker Chip Kidd is confirmed to be delivering an inspiring talk to festival attendees at the University on Saturday 1st June at 14.45 pm.

In the 45 minute seminar entitled ‘Don’t Know Where, Don’t Know When: Creating a classic Batman and Robin story’, Mr. Kidd will take you through the entire creative process of making a ten-page comic book story featuring Batman, Robin, The Joker, and the Man of Steel.

Working with acclaimed artist Michael Cho, Kidd will show you scripts, sketches, layouts and final execution of this extraordinary narrative that appeared in ‘Batman: Black and White’ issue #1.

As a bonus, Chip Kidd will show many of his privately commissioned sketch covers for this issue, featuring some of the world’s very best comics artists, including: Chris Ware, Art Spiegelman, Frank Quitely, Alex Ross, Frank Miller, Jim Lee, Steve Rude, Charles Burns, Neal Adams, Bill Sienkiewicz, Alison Bechdel, Yukio Shimizu, Jiro Kuwata, Gengoroh Tagame, Kyle Baker, Mike Mignola, and many others. This work cannot be seen anywhere else, only at this exclusive live presentation.
