Thought Bubble Festival

This year marks the 20th Edition of Thought Bubble: The Yorkshire Comic Art Festival! With a week long festival from 9-15 November 2026, taking place across Yorkshire. And our GIANT Comic Convention will be on 14 & 15 November 2025 at Harrogate Convention Centre.

I have unearthed some Albion ashcan editions signed by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, Shane Oakley, and Moore & Reppion. We've also got a load of unsigned ashcans and a few signature cards. I think we'll be bringing them to @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social as extra special add-ons for our Albion hardbacks.

We strongly recommend purchasing your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment, some ticket types (specifically weekend and Saturday types) may sell out before the convention weekend, and will not be available on the door. Get yours here: thoughtbubblefestival.com/tickets
