FANZINE FUNNIES! Grab 'em while you can!

A reminder that I still have some copies of Fanzine Funnies left, but when they're sold I won't be reprinting them anytime soon. 

The first printing of Fanzine Funnies all sold out in 24 hours. Sales on the second printing have been slower, so it's not economical for me to gamble on a third print. When these are gone, they're gone, and I'm unlikely to do any more until next Spring at the very earliest.

I'll be bringing some to the London Comic Con next weekend (11th - 12th November) but if you want to buy one by mail you can get them exclusively from me at my eBay page here:

In case you missed my previous posts about it, Fanzine Funnies collects some rarely-seen strips I did 30 years ago for fanzines dedicated to The Prisoner TV series. It features Rogue Rover and superfan Alistair Sadgitt, Mumbler Six in 32 pages of fun for older readers. Here's one example...

Bury Comic Con was BUSY Comic Con!

 Big thanks to John Webster and his team at WOW Events for Bury Comic Con yesterday, and for looking after us guests over the weekend. I wasn't sure how this show would turn out as it was up against the huge MCM event the same day but Bury was busy! It was very well attended with a steady stream of people all day. Thank you to everyone who stopped by my table to buy a sketch and/or comics. 

 
Good to catch up with fellow guests Dan Whitehead, Colin Mathieson, John Jackson, Brian M. Clarke, Neil "Bhuna" Roche and more, and to meet Mickey Lewis, Colin Baker, and Hacker T Dog (with Phil Fletcher). The queue to see Colin was huge, snaking through and outside the building all day! Just shows how popular Doctor Who still is! 

It was also good to see Rob Sharp again after so many years! All in all, a nice event with a positive vibe to it.

You can read more about it on their Facebook page at this link:

For those of you living in or visiting the Manchester area this weekend you'll find me at Bury Comic Con on Sunday 29th October! The event takes place in various locations across the town and I'll be in Bury Art Museum, Moss Street with other comics creators such as Dan Whitehead and John Jackson.

I'll be doing sketches on request (£15 per character, A4 size) and selling my comics Combat Colin 3 and 4, Fanzine Funnies, and Pedantic Stan. Plus I'll bring along some of my old original art too (£50 each).  

If you just want comics signed, I don't charge for autographs.
