As BPP as said its a relaxed, extremely well run event with emphasis on comic and the creators. Easy reach too from all part of Ireland, north and south, and you Cal Habber's, its only a short ferry!

Perhaps not for much longer though?
One day. I really will make the effort to get to this one day.
I've booked my room already, I'm really looking forward to it! Shame that Gibson isn't going to make it as there was the potential to have King Carlos, Gibson and McMahon in a single sketchbook.
I'd love to go, and hoping to convince the lady that we could have a lovely weekend up in Fermanagh, but we are going on something called a Honeymoon that clashes with this!
Have a brilliant time, folks, and thank all the wonderful creators on my behalf for all the bloody brilliant work they produce!
Won't be there this year, I'm afraid. Have a good one!

Belfast Sector 13 will be there for the launch of Fanzine no 5. look forward to seeing everyone. We're staying down the friday night, so will be getting airlocked in some shady dive. Z
Last time I planned to go to this and didn't , I missed my last chance to meet King Carlos.
So cash permitting, I will try very hard to make it this year.
Finished, two recreations of the opening double page spread from The Apocalypse War. A2 bristol board, fineliners, brush pen, sharpie, brush and ink and white Gellyroll pen. One is off to Enniskillen Comic Fest and the other to Lawless.

Tomorrow!
Drop by and say Hello!
Oh Fiddlesticks, I forgot all about it. I'd love to meet John Wagner, me. Will he be there both days?
Ah, dammit. It's yesterday and today, isn't it? Looks like I'm not going to make it.
It was great! I've not been to many cons, but you Emerald islanders (and Brit Citizens) who didn't go should really check it out - I mean, I got sketches from Paddy Goddard, Simon Bisley, Eoin Coveney, Mike Dorey and Mick Mcmahon essentially without having to queue. Plus a painted 'sketch' by the legendary Ian Kennedy. And boxes of free progs to rifle through. Amazing.
Really enjoyed the McMahon & Dorey panel too David!
Yeah, great day, hard to fit in talking to everyone.
Glad you liked the interview Mikey, delight to be asked to talk to these two legends, TBH they made it easy, two gents.
Had a great chat with Simon Furman, John Wagner, Ian Kennedy, Patrick Gaddard, Alan Hebden and a quick work with the Biz. Great sales, too which is a bonus, all in a great day out.
Cosmic Comics was definitely the haul of the show - what a great product Hibernia has there. The hook-up with the Treasury of British Comics is going to produce some gems for sure. If you haven't bought it yet you're missing out on two unique 2000ad greats.
Goddard selling Savage pages for 30 quid seemed criminal. Picked up several. McMahon sketching for free even more insane. The Carlos stuff was very moving and his art great to see close up. Sad to hear he had agreed to come but...
Everyone there is just so genial and relaxed, it's a lovely way to spend a day. Looking forward to next years.
Was a super day. We had our Sector 13 table and met so, so many friends both old and new. A super convention. Z
Didn't realise I had spoken to you BPP, delight you like it!
Patrick Goddard, what a gent, and 30 quid a page! I have one already so I didnt splurge, but they are prices from years ago.
Yeah, Paddy had some really fantastic pages on offer. He really is a total gent - he didn't charge me for my sketch! I was first at his table as I snuck in a bit early so maybe first is always gratis, but I was going to buy a page at the end of the day and he was pretty busy, so I stopped with Ian Kennedy. Unfortunately for Paddy, I flicked through what I thought were prints by Kennedy and picked out a fantastic Rogue Trooper - turned out to be an original bit of art, but I was committed by then and couldn't resist buying it, so that was the end of my funds. I owe Goddard at least a pint I think!
