Events - Hi-Ex Spotlight, New Heroes - Michael Carroll

Michael Carroll, author of the succesful New Heroes novels and general 'nice chap' had travelled to Hi-Ex from Ireland to promote his books with lovely wife Leonia. They left the cat at home.

It was the first time I'd met Mike in the real world, but we'd met in interwebspace before, and Mike had kindkly designed logos and features for the Solar Wind comics as well as the Omnivistascope logo you can see on OVS comic and this site (look up, there, at the top).

Mike also joined me on the 'Future of British Comics' panel, which was handy as for a moment I thought I'd be doing it on my own. I was about to give the order for the doors to be locked so nobody could leave my lecture when he arrived. But more on the panels later.

Let me see, it's Leonia on the left, Mike on the right, Inverness in the background!
