The Comics I Found At The Entertainment Media Show

So that's what I did today. Went to the Entertainment Media Show at London Olympia to see what was what. A film/TV/wrestler show, it also managed to have a fairly decent comic book contingent, and lots of natural light. Which was all the excuse I needed…

Possibly my biggest find of the show.  Amateur artist Sarah Jones whose work is so professional it hurt my eyes that she wasn;t being published by someone with a large budget to shove into her bank account….
