One of personal highlights of the Birmingham International Comics Show was meeting
Bob Byrne of
Clamnut Comics fame. As we both knackered/hungover on the Saturday morning we spent a pleasant few hours sitting out in the drizzle and talking whilst making occasional attempts to beat the geek queues. It was a genuine pleasure to meet him after a year and half or so of email rants and blog madness. I surprised at how dark and demented Mbleh is check out pdf samples

his site.
Iz it becauz I am a Mug?...
In the youth hostel we stayed in I decided this would be a fun mug drink my morning coffee in but it had a really annoying voicechip in it that was running out of batteries which sounded like the most unfunny drunkard in the world doing an Ali G impression while simultaneously having a stroke.

Matt Hollingsworth's colorist masterclass.
Me talking to
Mike Conroy, the new editor of
Comics International and author of
500 Great Comic Book Action Heroes. Don't think I was making much sense at this time. Interview with him here from the
Forbidden Planet blog. Pic from Bob.

I'm looking at the man in the revolving door, I'm asking him to chhhange his ways.
Give it up for the Clammaster
