Title: A bit early perhaps but... who's going to Bristol?
Post by: Buddy on 13 January, 2004, 06:49:43 AM
If I book now I can get a return flight for ?25.

Last year I left it late and ended up paying ?60 for the flight.

Just a few minor details to sort out then I'm booking it!

So, who else is comming?

I will be. At this rate, my f***ing ex WON'T be coming down with us, so there'll be plenty of space in the Longmobile ...

Look out for the Starscape/ Superhero Store table.  Starscape #4 is a jumping on point.  Two original stories to begin, complete with a free gift (hopefully) that'll knock your socks off!

But will one of the new stories be Paul Scott's and Oliver Redding's fantastic sci-fi horror series, Quisling, that will be previewed in issue 2 (out very soon)?  And will the other be Guard Dogs from the pen of Spider-Man, Panini and Commando writer Jason Quinn?  Or will it be from either of the 2000AD scribes Gary Wilkinson or Gary Simpson?  Or even a new story from Pest Control's (and the best small press writer I've ever read) Grant Springford doing what he admits is his best ever work?  Who know, it might even be my take on the League of Medieval Gentlemen/ Extraordinary Barabarians starring homages to Adam Eterno, Captain Britain and Kelly's Eye, plus other legends?

BTW, if you were a little disappointed with the cover and printing of issue 1 - stand by for a massive improvement and beautiful cover for issue 2 (and a golden age story form Bob Monkhouse).

This may actually happen for me this year (last year was a wash out), a good pal I met over the net (Jaws Site) is interested in meeting up for a boozy weekend, and I thought Bristol would be an ideal weekend, browse and mingle sponsored by over priced hotel beer.com.

Be nice to put a few faces to names here, I've been in contact with Mr Scott before today, so I guess it's Paul's round.
