The Bristol Comic Expo – back on 11-12th May 2013 at Brunels Old Station, Bristol – is publishing a series of “Expo eXclusive” charity prints and the latest is by the long running comic festival’s special guest Ian Gibson, who brings his eponymous heroine Halo Jones (from 2000AD) back to print.
Only 50 of these will be printed and they are sure to go fast.
These high quality A3 prints will be signed and numbered with all proceeds going to the charity.
• To pre-register for one of the prints, contact the Expo at info@bristolexpo.co.uk. For more information (and ‘variants’) see
