Was on for two days1. Instead of getting a hotel overnight we went to all night cinema at The Scala (when it was still a cinema) and saw Akira, Heavy Metal, Fritz The Cat, Swamp Thing and probably more...
I got lots of sketches of 2000ad characters from artists like Carlos Ezquerra and Ron Smith at this one and bought loads of rubbish comics.
I originally had it that I was here in 1990 and 1991, but on finding the Carlos Ezquerra sketch which is dated it reminds it must have been 1989 and 1990.

- Actually three days according to the wikipedia entry...
I went to this one, more from this year in my gigography for 1989. Part of every gig I remember going to from '87 to 2024. It's an obvious step from my Best Gigs Ever blog post. Yeah I know it's very nerdy, let's let that go though, I'm having fun remembering these things.
