Gumby Goes to Brum Wildcard Ink, the American publishing company of Gumby Comics who won 2007’s Eisner Award for Best Title for a Younger Audience, and was nominated in two other categories, will once more be represented at this year’s Birmingham International Comics Show in the UK.

 Editorial staff member Paul H Birch is likely to be seen playing an early-Santa Claus and handing out free Gumby goodies galore. “We have some very special trading cards this year, featuring sketched art by three legends of the comic book industry; Mike Golden, Bill Sienkiewicz, and Mike Mignola who will himself be at the show.” Birch revealed. Even more exclusive are a collection of uncut boards for the cards. These rare collector’s items will be offered as prizes at the special BICS 2007 launch party that will take place on the Friday 12th October. Fans can purchase the whole Gumby Comics line from Smallzone, and other good distributors, during the weekend show. For more information Gumby Comics visit:
