Cool also for the record Eleventh Hour is Eagle Nominated. It proved difficult to get comic guests for obvious reasons but 6 six americans have said provisionally yes for next year

Cheeky monkey

Will you be attending Nicky? I haven't seen you in what?.. Two years? Almost that, I should think... Maybe a year?.. I have no sense of time - lol - but I know it has been ages.

Thanks for mentioning it Rich.

Yes, a few comic creators and fans have actually asked me why there are no americans at LFCC, and I pointed out the fact that there is a major, major clash with one of the largest comic conventions in the world... Which is in the US, so really the US creators edge more towards that than a London convention they have never heard of... Still, hopefully next year you'll convince some of them... We need to take loads of awesome photographs of the event and get the comics industry talking positively about the event, so we'll get people asking to come, as apposed to being invited

Hope you'se are cool.
