London Super Comic Con and Australian Pink Floyd.

It's been a busy couple of weeks.
We went to our first Comic Convention of the year over the weekend of the 23rd and 24th of Feb. You can read Chris Dingsdale's full report over on www.accentukcomics.blogspot.co.uk, some of which is true. We had a really great weekend, and it was amazing to see so many Comic Book legends working their tables.
I did have a few words with Bill Sienkiewicz, who has always been a favourite artist of mine, got him to sign my Elktra Assassin hard cover, bought his sketchbook and left him a copy of Whatever Happened To The World's Fastest Man ?, not that I expect him to get time to read it but it seemed to be the right thing to do, small thanks for him inspiring me to get involved in comics to start with.
We had a great Con, chatted to a good number of customers, new and old, got lots of words of encouragement on our future books and sold plenty.
This week I went to another concert. This one was The Australian Pink Floyd and they were suprisingly good. I never got to see the real thing, despite the first record I ever bought being Dark Side Of The Moon (which is still one of my favourites), but these guys made it seem less of a failing on my part. They were excellent and the first half of the gig was the entire Dark Side Of The Moon ..
..fabulous.
Now to get back to business ... WesterNoir Issues 3 and 4 and finishing off Strange Times Book 2.

Accent UK at the London Super Comic Convention.

We've a table at the this year's London Super Comic Con over the weekend of the 23rd and 24th of Feb.
Looking at the Guest List I could end up taking down a heap of books to get signed, but then that'd mean less Accent UK books to sell and time spent in the signing queue would be less time behind the Accent UK table. That's the only downside of having your own table. I think I might just limit myself to the one book then, Stray Toasters by Bill Sienkiewicz, a favourite book from a favourite creator.
Be sure to pop over the Accent UK stall and talk comics if you're at the event.
