The BCQC Landmark Comics Quiz Report (18 Nov) The quiz was successfully held on Saturday for an audience of about 40-50 people. These consisted of ages from about 10 years to vannila-flavoured adults, housewives to students to dentists to one size fits all software types. The quiz was conducted by Sudarshan and myself, with other BC members chipping in from time to time. The questions (about 150 of them) were set by BC comic enthusiasts, ranging from Indian comics, Western superheroes, Graphic Novels, Disneylanders, Franco-Belgian comics and so on. Comic-phile Shubhashis won the title of "Starocomix" in a 3 person playoff, triumphing over some worthy contenders, which included a couple of very good schoolkids. Thanks to all who came, all the BC members who provided questions, and those that were able to help out during the two hour event. If you have any feedback, please leave them in the comments. I personally enjoyed this style of 'walk-in-the-park' quizzi...
