Thanks for the info. Perhaps this year I'll manage to attend (on holiday last time).
There is a comic mart coming up sooonish, at the Q.M. and I'll post the date as soon as my unreliable contacts let me know. Also, I hear there is a "something", possibly a small mart being run by Plan B books in the Panopticon. Again, I need to find out when.

Thank you, now in the diary. There have been some comments re. the QMU mart. Some criticism about the lack of old comics for sale as the balance seemed to leaning more to small press. But perhaps there aren't enough folk with, or willing to sell, old comics. Curious to see which dealers turn up this time.
