Bristol Ahoy!
This weekend the Bristol International Comic & Small Press Expo is taking place – the annual comic book Mecca in the UK.
Both Rob Curley and Stephen Daly will be attending, promoting Róisín Dubh and handing out preview issues of the comic book. If any of you are going to the Expo, make sure to drop by the Atomic Diner stand and say hello to both of them.
Fingers crossed that the Icelandic ash cloud of doom decides to fume away from Ireland and the UK for the next few days!
Finally, a big thank you to screenwriter/author/comic book writer Paul Cornell for plugging Róisín Dubh on his blog last week. His kind words had us all ablush.
