It's the

Yep! I've got my ticket and looking forward to meeting you for the first time Lew. Looks to be a packed show with interviews and many tables. Nice to see that the Cartoon Museum will be there too.

Whats the difference between a guest and a respected industry professional?
Do you get a bigger table?

I'm paying my own hotel expenses for the Brighton one so I'm not technically a "guest" but I'll still have a table and guest pass etc.

Good meeting you too Lew. I was struck by how accessible and welcoming everyone was. This was a good day to meet comic heroes with queues for Pat Mills and Dave Gibbons only being three deep. The range of comics was diverse with a lot I didn't know and I've picked up about half a dozen different creators work to read. Oh and I must mention the energy of the Etherington brothers who were at full throttle at their table all day and drew the attention of a lot of the younger attendees.

It was a very good event indeed. Entirely comics-focused and a nice atmosphere. Shane Chebsey always puts on a good comics expo for fans and pros alike. A really good line up and a nice crowd.
