Dan’s too busy to write up his visit to the
Glasgow con so I, in my role as Best Girlfriend Ever, am doing it for him.
It’s a fairly small con but the guest list
was excellent – Rufus Dayglo, Alan Grant, Jon Haward, Grant Morrison, Frank
Quitely, Jim Starlin, John Wagner, as well as various small press publishers.

Loads of
people came for sketches and poor old Dan didn’t stop all day – 40 sketches by
3pm! Suffice to say, he was knackered by the end of it, but still a happy bunny.
