The Oxfam Edinburgh Comic Event returns to the MacDonald Road Library on Edinburgh's Leith Walk on Saturday 23 July 2011. As in its two previous years this will be a discussion based event with signings by the guests plus a selection of comics, graphic novels and related books will be for sale on the day with all proceeds going to Oxfam.

Regular Oxfam guests 2000AD editor and writer David Bishop and Commando and Marvel Heroes writer Ferg Handley will be joined by Dan Dare and Kate and William artist Gary Erskine, attending his third Scottish comics event in five weeks after the Glasgow Comic Con and Scotch Corner @ Kingdom Of Adventure. Further guests are expected to be confirmed very soon.

The start time on Saturday 23 July is 11:30am with the event expected to run for most of the afternoon and tickets will be priced at £4 per person. The venue is only a 10-15 minute walk from Edinburgh's main bus and train stations.

More details will be available on the OxfamBooksEH10 twitter feed.
