The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall (in Glasgow of all places - where else?) hosted the 2016 GLASGOW COMIC CON over the weekend (2nd & 3rd), so this big, bad, bold blogger decided to drop in and snap a few photos for all you crazy Criv-ites, and do I have some great pictures for you! (No, seriously - do I have some great pictures for you??? Let's take a look at the photos and you can decide for yourselves.)
 |
| KEV from a local comics store. As you see, he's far too busy for his close-up, Mr. DeMille |
 |
| Next up is BEANO legend NIGEL PARKINSON, who kindly posed for a pic and happily chatted away about various comic-related topics. Top bloke, but does he know that DENNIS is about to pelt him in the ear with a tomato? Someone tell him - quick! |
 |
| Ace colourist NIKA NARTOVA was nearby to colour Nigel's drawings. Here, she and DENNIS give Glasgow a 'thumbs up' |
 |
| Some BEANO staff pose for their 15 seconds of fame on this blog. Only 15 seconds? Well, that's cutbacks for you |
 |
| Another legend - artist IAN KENNEDY was kind enough to pose for a pic. What a gent |
 |
| Glasgow's own GARY ERSKINE, with JOANNE POWER. I bet no one messes with her with a name like that |
 |
| AQUAMAN's wife MERA gives me a salute. And I wasn't even wearing a uniform |
 |
| This is KIM (or is it Kym?) and EEVEE. Look at that glossy fur. (Nope, I'm not taking that one any further!) |
 |
| ALAN GRANT looks busy while JOHN WAGNER smiles for my camera. I recall John chasing ROBIN SMITH around the 2000 A.D. office back around 1986 - 30 years ago |
 |
| And here's PSYLOCKE. At first I thought she was a mannequin because she stood so still when posing for photographers - until she changed her pose |
 |
| Some nice DARWYN COOKE art |
 |
| Some more promotional art |
 |
| And here's the mighty KINGPIN, WILSON FISK, just before he gave SPIDEY a kicking |
 |
| DAVE GIBBONS and 'FRANK QUITELY' sign for a long queue of fans - which I've excised |
 |
| This one's for THB - ADAM SMITH of BRAW BOOKS says "hello" |
 |
| 'COSPLAY KILLERS' creator CRAIG LONGWORTH displays his comics |
 |
| 'PLAGUED' artist TANYA ROBERTS gets plagued by me for a photo. "Where's security when you need them?" she wonders |
 |
| Presentation for Cosplay winners. First prize was a signed photo of me, but for some odd reason nobody wanted it |
 |
| And some more. Slightly blurred because the stage was shaking under the weight (he lied) |
 |
| MARVIN VAN CLEEF poses proudly with his powerful pistol |
 |
| The view of Buchanan Street from the stairs of The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall |
