I'd like to say thanks to Sean Phillips for visiting the shop this week. I've personally been a fan of his for years and it was great to have him here. Criminal is a great series, anybody not reading it should (issue 2's out next week) and anybody who's enhoying it should check out his similar work on Sleeper...
Thanks too to everyone who came along to the signing, patiently waited in line, chatted with Sean, enjoyed buns and generally had fun with us. It was great.
Thanks especially to Oliver, who works alongside me on Thursdays and constantly makes my life easier. We had an unusual amount of stock to sort out this week before we even thought about any preparation for the signing. If I'm Zapp Brannigan Oliver's the long suffering Kif.
I'd like to thank Sean for coming, and also thank him as I was stood near him all night stealing his Marvel Zombie drawing technique! He started by sketching in the basics with a blue pen before finishing with black for details and shadows, but after about his third Zombie Captain A or Spidey he just went straight in with the black pens and showed how practise makes perfect! I think only one person asked for a zombie Daredevil, but it was probably the best pic of the lot!
