Russell says - "Don't miss this year's NICE con (Northants International Comic Expo) on the 7th and 8th September 2013 at the Bedford Corn Exchange. I went last year it proved to be the best con to be at if you want to actually meet a really quality lineup of artists and writers, and this year they have just as impressive a guest list - Garth Ennis, Alan Davis, Mark Farmer, Guera, Simon Bisley, Glenn Fabry, John Watson and loads of others. Miss it and miss out.

See the official site for ticket news (tickets still available!) and more info.
