Hot on the heels of what sounds like an amazing SFX Weekender – which included appearances by Tom Baker, Dez Skinn and Paul Cornell and many other top talents – there’s a smaller but nonetheless eagerly-anticiapted event next weekend: the Exeter Comic Expo.
Taking place on Saturday 13th February at Exeter’s Southgate Mercure Hotel, the event – the brainchild of the folk behind the Bristol Comics Expo – has been organised in association with Ace Comics and includes appearances from artist David Lloyd, Mike Ploog, Lee Garbett, Dave Hine and “master of artistic mayhem” Shaky Kane.
