Void Comix
Void Comix is a children’s comic which features a long story around a regular character, “Arty”, a boy who aspires to be an artist and who is inspired by Void exhibitions to make work which relates to the shows.
The comic is written and drawn by cartoonist Nick Brennan, who works for the Beano and Dandy comics. It is primarily aimed at 6-12 year old children yet widely appreciated by adults. The comics also contain a puzzle, word search, spot the difference and information about the exhibiting artist(s). They are designed to allow children to interact with exhibitions, and express their opinions about the art work on show. Void Comix is once again being produced following a lapse in funding. It is now distributed to all libraries in the Western Libraries Board Area, as well as a free publication to child visitors and school groups attending the galleries.
