Can we put him forward for a Knighthood?

Only if he attends the ceremony in his Big E costume.

Doubt he'd want to appear in public in Big E smalls.

This was announced at The Lakes Con and Dave talked about his hopes for  it. Big E was also mentioned and shown, and Dave pointed out that capes and tall building don't really mix in the real world as his photshoot proved.

Dave seemed quite proud of Big E and put it down as part of that time in comics.

He's definitely lent into the Big E curve and owned it rather than be embarrassed.

Good bloke, top talk.

Sounds brilliant, shame I missed it this year.
