Bristol Comic Expo, 2007

The Bristol Comic Expo, 2007 was a great success in general and for me in particular. It was probably the largest attendence they have ever had, and with far more manga type fans around (which the main organisers, Mike and David, were kind enough to say was thanks to me organising a dozen manga creators to come this year, including 5 actual Japanese). I also had more than a few interesting possibilities arise, and one definite, signed and sealed, contract. To write an adaptation of a Charles Dickens book, which I have started already, and loving it.
