allanaWe went to the Bristol Comic Expo today. In a Guiness-worthy feat of endurance, I lasted for seven hours before retreating back to the car. (I can take walking around for hours but standing in queues killed me.)
Anyway, it was really good! I used the power of my boobies to persuade Jock to draw me a quick sketch of a very grim looking Nightwing which I love. He apologised profusely for it not being his best work--we caught him at the end of the Vertigo panel and he didn't have any of his pens so wound up using a ratty old felt-tip from my handbag. Nonetheless, it's very cool. I hope he starts doing some more interior art for DC--right now he just does cover art for them.
We also had a quick chat with Jock and Andy Diggle about how much we've been enjoying The Losers. Very nice blokes, especially Jock but then I'm biased as he's Scottish.
Dave got sketches from some of his idols (plus a couple more) so he was very, very happy too.
If time permits we might nip back tomorrow afternoon for some more sketches and shopping. I'm hoping that Sunday will be less busy and also a much cooler day....
