MCM London Comic Con 2014

Cheers to all the lovely folk who visited the Tempo Lush table at MCM London Comic Con this past weekend.  Great meeting new people and having folk who had read my work before come back for more!

Really pleased that all my new comics were selling.  Had to rearrange my table a bit to make space!
