A special one off Night at the Museum is being held at the University of Glasgow to ensure it is recognised as the “cradle of comics”.
The free public event at the University’s Hunterian Museum is expected to be a popular night out for comic book fans both young and old.
As well as bringing an opportunity to party with the dinosaurs, superheroes and the Mummy, the event will put the world’s first comic - Glasgow Looking Glass - on public display for one night only.
The event – on Saturday 1 December 2018 - will also showcase the research being done at the University’s College of Arts on the important role Scotland had in the development of the genre of comics.
Highlights of the night will include an appearance by Scotland’s Frank Quitely, one of the world’s top comic book artists with the legendary DC Comics.
Frank Quitely is the pen name of Glaswegian Vincent Deighan who said: "I can't wait for the Comics Night at the Museum. This will be a one-of-a-kind experience. Don't miss it!"
