COMMANDO FORCES

The next Southern Contingent Gathering will be at the FCBD event at Orbital Comics. This is on the 7th of May at 14:00 and as is our normal tradition, we shall meet up a little earlier than the signing for chat and laughs, from 13:00.

The local public house for the gathering is the Crown and Anchor in Neal Street, so if you miss us at the event, you'll find us in there!

Don't be shy, come and say hello, as we're a friendly bunch and make all feel welcome and anyway, you can't stay in the signing queue all day ;)

As for the signing, well this is from Orbital itself.


QuoteEverybody loves free comics, right? Well, this year Orbital is proud to not only be participating in the annual Free Comic Book Day, but also to be hosting a massive 2000AD mega-signing session with a number of the creators featured in their Free Comic Book Day issue.

You heard us! Not only can you get a free copy of 2000AD's FCBD Special (and other awesome comics) ... you can also get it signed by the creators involved, including Hannah Berry, Henry Flint, Alec Worley, Matt 'Tharg' Smith, and special guest Dani (who's flying in from Greece for the day) – with more to be announced over the coming weeks.

But wait – that's not all ... On top of free comics and a 2000AD mega-signing, we'll also have original art from the issue on display in the Orbital Gallery. We have Dani's complete story (as part of a wider exhibition) plus Rufus Dayglo & Jim McCarthy's art from Bad Company!

Doors open at 10:30am for Free Comic Book Day, then the signing will commence at 2pm. This is our biggest and most ambitious FCBD signing EVER, so we hope you'll join us in celebrating the enduring thrill-power of 2000AD as they blaze ahead in 2016. Zarjaz!

Fingers crossed I can actually make this!

One question Judge Burdis, are there usually plenty of FCBD 2000ad's at this sort of event? Not remotely interested in all that DC/Marvel crap?   :)

At Forbidden Planet there were always loads, with plenty left over. I'm sure Orbital will be the same!

Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side.

Gutted I won't be able to make it this year. :(

Going to have to find a way to get my mitts on the 2000AD FCBD special.

If anyone would be kind enough to pick one up for me I'd really appreciate it.

I know the deal is to get into a comic shop and do some spending. I'll just have to do that on another day on my lonesome.

Guess I'll see the Southers at the next gathering.

Spikes

This Northerner will be popping down to swell the ranks.
A grand day last year, so keen for another helping. Staying over this time, so that I'm not having to rush off to catch the last train.

Magnetica

As a relatively newer boarder (is that the term?) I have never been to a Southern Contingent gathering. I will now be able to pop along to Orbital in the morning when the doors open to get my FCBD 2000AD but won't be able to hang around for the signing. I know it says to meet at 1pm but will anyone else be around from 10.30am?

COMMANDO FORCES

I'm not sure that anyone will be there that early as that's pretty hardcore to start drinking then  ;)

sheridan

Doubt I'll be there before mid-day, sorry, Magnetica.

One more day!

COMMANDO FORCES

It's gonna be a HOT one :'(

I'll be bringing Sam and we'll both be wearing our tops. Caz will join us later, after she's had a day out in the V&A. See you all there :wave:

Glad you two are covering up, no mention of Caz tho'....  :-X
