Phew!
Between the hours of 11-2.00pm they’ll be hard at work painting the Gosh! windows and doodling away at the drawing table, where you can get involved. There’ll be loads of art supplies provided so all you need to do is get yourself there on the day.
Then, between 3.00 and 5.00pm there will be and Image Comics Signing with Kieron Gillen, Christian Ward, and Duncan Fegredo, the co-creators behind the likes of The Wicked and the Divine, ODY-C, and MPH respectively. (More info here)
The signing featuring some of the UK’s top creators promises to be a busy one. But what’s even better than painting on windows and lots of drawing? Free Comic Books!
