Simon Birks - comic/novel/screen writer & publisher

Image of the cover of Star Trek Voyager: Homecoming #1 published by IDW. It shows the back of Captain Kathryn Janeway in her red and black suit, looking at Earth, framed by the ship window and her shadow stretching out behind her.

Eeee, @tillybridges.bsky.social let me take a sneak peek at Star Trek Voyager: Homecoming and it was so lovely to walk Captain Janeway's bridge again. Coming 9.3!

Yes, single day for now. Was excellently organised, and had a great mini-TB feel to it. Lots of comics for sale which was excellent.

We've definitely had a good day, and it's a nice con.

Think it's Deadhead Comics in Edinburgh. Went in once. Nuff said.

On the roof of Alloa Tower - like a small child, I'm hiding with only a bit of my face visible.

I'm pointing at a unicorn atop a column in Culross. For some reason, I'm not a fan of unicorns. Or elves. Or rhubarb. None of it makes sense.

In celebration of 1k followers (thank you), here's a couple of photos from yesterday's visits to Alloa Tower and Culross with @mariellewrites.bsky.social! People who know my love of unicorns will appreciate the second one!
