A reminder for those readers in the south east of Scotland and the north east of England that Saturday 31 May sees the return of the Prestonpandemonium comic mart to Prestonpans just off the A1 near Edinburgh.
The third PP will run from Noon until 3 pm in the Prestongrange Gothenburg pub and entrance is free. All tables have now been booked and the mart will consist of a mixture of comics dealers, artists and small press publishers.
In addition writer Jim Alexander will give a talk on the scripting and pitching process for comics and there will be a silent auction with proceeds going to the DEC Myanmar (Burma) Cyclone Appeal.
More details of the event and directions to it are available on the Prestonpandemonium website.
