Made a whistle-stop tour of the Spa Comics-organised Leamington Comic Con at All Saints' CofE Church on Saturday 14th April. That's right, a comic con in a church. There was even a non-paper based mighty organ ;)

Three other UK cons were on that weekend, including the popular Margate Art Festival, but the guest list was still very good. 2000AD was more than adequately represented with the likes of John Wagner, Al Ewing and Jon Davis-Hunt. Other con stars attending were the Etherington Brothers, Reckless Hero, John Laight, The Awesome Comics podcast, and many more.

I didn't have time to speak to everyone but the interview with John Wagner was great, and I had quite a chat with him afterwards. I managed to have a quick word with Al Ewing too, as well as bagging a few goodies.

This was my first trip to the Leamington con, but I'll definitely return for a fuller visit next year.

I was hoping to get to this, unfortunately health issues got in the way again! I hear it went very well.
