Showmasters London Film & Comic Con 26-28 July 2019 4 4

[Get Marwood & I]

This mystery box thing seems to be all the rage doesn't it. I bought one and all it had in it was a VFN AF15, Hulk #1 and a Dazzler #12. What a let down. I was really hoping for a Dazzler 10.

This one calls himself the - Oh. It's out of focus. Sorry. 

Dockers Dog anyone?

[Get Marwood & I]

Some celebrities. And Iron Man. And that bloke out of the Guardians thing. 

And a copper. 

And a Ginger, with a 'My Happy Urns' bag.

Girl terrorises poor man with balloon and severed arm.

[Get Marwood & I]

Well. Not much more I'm afraid.

A quick attempt to Bat Touch the back of the Bat Car. No such Bat Luck

Bat Typical!

 

[Get Marwood & I]

So, how was it?

Well, it was fun. I enjoyed it. Not too crowded, and a good atmosphere. The comic content was lousy, but I expected that. Here's what I came away with:

I went on my own of course, and that can bring on a touch of melancholy as you watch the families having fun, the mates having a laugh. The joy in little kids faces when they meet what appears to be their idols. It's bitter sweet and can sometimes make you wonder where it all went wrong....

But I did get two comics and the chance to share this report. And, I got scolded by a Dalek! That doesn't happen everyday (get your wife jokes in now)

And besides, as the man himself once said, what else can we do on a Sunday?

 

[ADAMANTIUM]

Well that WAS fun @Get Marwood & I  glad you braved it an all to keep us in the loop across water's  

Maybe they'll see you as, "the man with the camera" and hire you for next year hehe

Great report!

Very entertaining read and commentary for a Monday morning!

[Ken Aldred]

Great report, Steve.

I would’ve been disappointed with the meagre comics content.

Better weather too than the flooded northwest here.

Cheers Paul. You know what it's like - you go to these things with a silly notion in your head that someone new will be there, with a big box of pence Charltons, Archies and Gold Keys that no one else is interested in. But, of course, it never happens. 

The comic content here was worse than the MCM, but I suppose it was a Film and Comic con. Let's face it - comics were likely the last thing on 95% of the attendees minds.

Fun photos Steve. That Dell "King of Kings" looked nice. I've never seen a 1/- variant before. The tatty Daredevil? Meh!

And how unlucky was this. Nicola wasn't there, and Daniels was. A bad timing double whammy of doom. 

Try as I might, I never found our Nicola 

My ex's name is Nicola. I hate Nicola.

 

 

 

 

I kid. I hate the ex, not all people named Nicola.

Entertaining report and thanks for the effort - I know these things take a while to create.

Now. aren't you going to explain to the American cousins what "Spare a penny for the Guy" means?
