Free Comic Book Day at @cecomicsuk.bsky.social was an absolute blast! They had more people in than last year! We had some great artists such as @sztehlocomics.bsky.social doing free sketches yesterday 😎 I got to talk about TT:F Chapter 1 with some people to get them hyped for this coming October!

Second bit of news today: Free Comic Book Day! @cecomicsuk.bsky.social has been kind enough to lend me a space in the upstairs part of their Bedford store! I'll have a folder of the FCBD stories I did last year, along with Tournament Tour: Fighter Chapter 0s and other bits and bobs!
