Ms. Liberty landing at The Comics Show!

01 Oct, 2007

We’re on the road again - and so is Ms. Liberty…

We’re hitting the highway this October for another show, and if you’re any kind of hero… you need to come along and see us.

This time we’re pulling our wagons into The Comics Show, over the weekend of October 13th and 14th. It’s the show’s second year, this time taking place at the ThinkTank, Millennium Point, in Birmingham. Right now it’s shaping up to be one of the biggest comics conventions on the calendar, with dozens of top guests including Mike ‘Hellboy’ Mignola, Dave ‘Watchmen’ Gibbons and Adi ‘Iron Man’ Granov amongst others. With events, exhibitors and bargains galore all weekend it’s a must-attend event if you’re any kind of comics fan.

imageEven if you’re not that into comics there is of course another great reason to attend - us! At the NCsoft stand you’ll be able to pick up some fantastic game bargains, get a sketch from from the Draw The World Together team (while donating to our charity, EveryChild) and of course, pose for a photo with the lovely Ms. Liberty!

Be advised: Longbow intelligence suggests that Ghost Widow may be in the vicinity, recruiting likely subjects for Arachnos. Remain vigilant!

For more information on The Comics Show, visit the official site; and check out just some of the sketches previously created by the Draw The World Together team in our gallery.

If you can’t make it to this show, don’t fret; we’ll be popping up again at Memorabilia in November. Hopefully though, we’ll see you in October!
