23.03.2025 11:21 — 👍 7 🔁 3 💬 2 📌 1We had an amazing day - sold out 'Oh No Ghosts In Things' and 'This Is Happening, Pal' (which sounds more impressive than it is - that's 15 comics altogether).
More importantly the energy and excitement in the room was amazing, so many people actively interested in comics and zines.
Thanks for coming! It was great to have you! 😄
