Arrivati a fine agosto, a poco meno di due mesi dall’evento ecco una bella news dell’edizione 2022 del Festival dei laghi, che quest’anno si terrà a Bowness-on-Windermere (location a soli 20 minuti viaggio in treno dalla stazione principale di Oxenholme Lake District).
Oggi lo staff del LICAF ci informa sul lancio promozionale della mostra “Yellow Submarine” a cura di Bill Morrison, creatore della graphic novel “Yellow Submarine“, che sarà visitabile al Windermere Jetty Museum dal 23 settembre.
Vi ricordiamo che anche quest’anno “Fumettomania Factory – APS” è supporter del Lakes International Comic Art Festival e che sarà presente dal 14 al 16 ottobre con due soci-collaboratori, William Ceraolo (dalla Sicilia) e Damiano Gallinaro (da Roma), oltre la presenza (almeno per un giorno) di Cesare Giombetti che vive nel Regno Unito!

Nota bene: Aggiungo solo una cosa , rispetto, alle informazioni che troverete nel sito del LICAF: la location dove si terrà il festival “è un posto meraviglioso, andateci sia per il festival, sia per visitare i laghi e la Regione, non ve ne pentirete!”
Yellow Submarine exhibition launches at Windermere Jetty Museum
Bowness-on-Windermere, 16th August 2022:
Windermere Jetty Museum is excited to be hosting Lakes International Comic Art Festival’s feature exhibition “Yellow Submarine – Bill Morrison’s Odyssey Through Pepperland”. The exhibition opens on 23rd September 2022 and runs until 2nd January 2023.
Come and journey with the Fab Four through the Sea of Monsters, dodge the scary Suckophant and through the Sea of Green to Pepperland. Experience the Apple Bonkers, the dreaded Flying Glove and the final rescue of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band from the Blue Meanies.
In 2018 Bill Morrison, one of America’s most respected comic artists, was commissioned by Titan Comics to mark the 50th anniversary of The Beatles film, Yellow Submarine. His graphic novel is a joyful celebration of this landmark animation that was central to the shaping of the psychedelic 1960s.
Featuring sketches, preparatory work and some rare examples of The Beatles in comics, “Yellow Submarine – Bill Morrison’s Odyssey Through Pepperland” charts the creation of a unique piece of visual storytelling.
Bill Morrison, creator of the Yellow Submarine graphic novel, has worked with The Simpsons creator Matt Groening as an illustrator and writer for The Simpsons and its associated comics, as Art Director of Futurama, and Executive Editor of Mad magazine.
Part of Lakes International Comic Art Festival programme, the exhibition is free with admission to Windermere Jetty Museum – adult £9, child (5-15) £4.50, child (0-4) free. The 10th anniversary festival takes place on 14th – 16th October.
To see the full programme across all venues see comicartfestival.com/whats-on.
“What better way to celebrate our tenth festival in our new main venue, Windermere Jetty Museum, than with Festival friend Bill Morrison’s Odyssey into Pepperland?” says Julie Tait, Director, Lakes International Comic Art Festival (LICAF). “This original exhibition will feature artwork by Bill from his graphic novel of the Yellow Submarine together with an exploration of his love of The Beatles and some rare artefacts of The Beatles in comics.”
“We are so excited to be part of Lakes International Comic Arts Festival and to be launching the Yellow Submarine graphic novel exhibition at Windermere Jetty Museum,” says Rhian Harris Chief Executive, Lakeland Arts. “For fans of The Beatles’ film or 60s retro design this will be a real treat. During the main Festival, our site will be a hub of comic related events and the place for families with Little LICAF taking over our Boat Wharf.”

About Us
The Lakes International Comic Art Festival is the only one of its kind in the UK, centred on events and comics projects brought to you from one of the country’s most beautiful areas – the English Lake District, in the market town of Kendal. Modelled on European-style festivals, such as Angoulême in France, the annual Festival usually takes over the whole town for a weekend of comic art every October.
The Festival’s aim is to celebrate the whole spectrum of comic art, inspiring existing comic art fans and creators and, it hopes, generating new audiences and creators too. It invests in creators through a commissioning programme and has an emphasis on developing international collaborations.
The Patrons of the Festival are comic creators Yomi Ayeni, Kate Charlesworth, Comics Laureate Stephen L. Holland, Sean Phillips, Bryan Talbot, Mary Talbot and Zoom Rockman.
The Lakes International Comic Art Festival is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. It is supported by Cumbria County Council, Lake District National Park Authority, South Lakeland District Council and Kendal Town Council
