Diggle and Jock signing ‘Snapshot’ at Forbidden Planet London

By John Freeman on 19 January 2013

Writer Andy Diggle and artist Jock will be signing copies of the Forbidden Planet variant edition of their new comic published by Image, Snapshot, at 4.00pm on Saturday 9th February at the Forbidden Planet London Megastore.

Jake Dobson is your typical nerd; works at the Near-Mint Rhino comic-book store in San Francisco. But when he finds a lost cell phone, he’s horrified to discover it’s full of snapshots of a murder victim.

Suddenly he finds himself hunted by a vengeful hitman who wants his phone back. and Jake in a body bag! And then things start to get really complicated…

Andy Diggle and Jock have both worked separately for 2000AD, Marvel and DC but are best known for their collaborations – including Green Arrow: Year One and The Losers.

Please note that, due to time constraints, FP advise they may have to limit the number of items signed – and there may not be time for artist sketches.

The variant edition will be available at the signing – or by Mail Order.
