An interview with Thought Bubble Festival founder, Lisa Wood

Thought Bubble started life in November 2007 as a one-day event, created by renowned comic artist Tula Lotay, which took place in the basement of Leeds Town Hall.

From the very beginning, the ethos has been to celebrate comics and the people who make them; the work and creators who inspire the cultural landscape. This concentration on comics themselves makes Thought Bubble a unique kind of festival and especially loved by comic creators, leading to a consistently high calibre of talent at our annual convention.

Thought Bubble has gone from strength to strength, with an unparalleled reputation and a growth built primarily on word of mouth and a deep love of comics and the people who make them.

Now the event has grown to a huge week-long festival and attracts thousands of attendees and guests from around the world.
