Yesterday (9th November) saw the start of Thought Bubble, a week long art festival in Leeds that ends with a weekend long Comic Con that’s become arguably the best in the country.

This weekend sees the Thought Bubble Festival close with its two-day comic book event – quite possibly one of the best Comic Con’s in the UK and definitely a favourite of the Comics Anonymous gang. We have a table this year in the Royal Armouries Hall Table 88 which you can swing by for some Comic chat/shenanigans…..minus G-Man this year (He’s crying himself to sleep on the run up to it).
