A busy day at SALE COMIC CON

Thanks to John Webster for the invite to Sale Comic Con up in Manchester yesterday which was a very enjoyable event indeed. A short but very busy show (10.30am to 4pm) it gave the public a good day out. It was good to catch up with fellow guests and friends Rachael Smith, Laura Howell, Marc Jackson, Colin Mathieson, John Jackson, Brian M Clarke (and apologies to not seeing those who were in a different part of the show).

Good to meet actor Willie Coppen and thanks to TV star Hacker The Dog and his handler Phil Fletcher for being such entertaining fun on the table next to mine. An instant hit with all who attended.

Last but certainly not least, thanks to everyone who stopped by for a sketch and to buy comics!

Ready for SALE COMIC CON in Manchester!

 

Tomorrow (8th June) I'll be at Sale Comic Con in Greater Manchester where you'll find me and other artists at Sale Library, which is near the Town Hall. I hope you'll come along and join us for the day. 

I've designed a new convention banner (see above) so look out for that at all the shows I'm guesting at in the near future. 

I'll be drawing sketches on request and I'll be bringing along the following comics to sell...

COMBAT COLIN No.3, reprinting classic Combat Colin strips from the Marvel UK days...

 

FANZINE FUNNIES, collecting all the 'Prisoner' themed strips I did 30 yesrs ago for fanzines dedicated to The Prisoner TV series... 

 

COMIC SAMPLER - a slim selection of various comic strips of mine from over the past 40 years...

 

PEDANTIC STAN, THE COMICS FAN - The last few remaining copies of this comic by John Freeman and myself. 

 

See you there!
