You may or may not find this as interesting as me....

The other day I was in a comic shop I hadnt visited before & got talking to the staff & I mentioned that I was really enjoying 'The Walking Dead' & they were like 'If you want any of them signed just bring them in, Charlie (the artist) is a friend of ours'.
They showed me a neat zombie portrait he'd done of their little girl.

I had presumed he was american, but apparently he lives in Shrewsbury.

All the best cartoonists live in Shrewsbury. Here's the proof.

Burford I think. My fella only comes from Ipswich but has never been to the Cotswolds! My sisters passing out parade is somewhere near London on tuesday, so were going down a few days early & making a break of it. Unfortunately, I'm camping, & the forecast is not good.
Im going to the Cotswolds farm park, I hope it's as good as when I was 8!

I didnt realise but he used to do the Xfiles comic, which I also used to read. Apparently at Halloween he goes into the shop & does peoples portraits.

the one time i snuck into a comic book shop here in town, there was a group of guys playing d&d and giving me evil looks because they wanted me to leave because girls don't read comics

That's really cool. The comic is great and the Charlie is a great artist.

yeah chelly, Im ashamed to admit I usually buy comics over the internet because all too often comic shops are kinda snobby & intimidating. Girls are only allowed if they are wearing rock boots and a slutty goth basque.

TimScribble, it is cool, isnt it!

I think our local comic book store actually has that sign. Are you completely caught up with latest issue Alex?

Nah Tim, Im only up to volume 5, which I think is like issue 25 of the comics, so I think I'm only about half way through. I try to only buy graphic novels as a treat, so it'll be a while before I catch up, by which time they will probably have brought out a crappy film version which will spoil it for me anyway!
