There was a lot of queuing, Here's a line up for Jonathon Ross signing.

One of the largest queues was for Bryan Hitch, or Ultimates and Authority fame. In a talk about his work he told fans about his visit to set of the 'epic' Captain America film. His entire panel appearance is featured on the Geek Syndicate website.

IT was interesting to see Simon Topfield whose Simon's Cat series of cartoons, the misadventures of a slightly tubby feline, has become a global phenomenon with millions of people watching the short films on You Tube.
There was a steady stream of people at his table. He said: "The cat has quite a big following. The last time we check we had 85 million viewers on YouTube. It's been a lot of fun coming here."

Among the hired costumes it was good to see some fans made the effort. Friends Lee Bradley and Julia Tromans, both from Dudley and Richard Preston from Sutton Coldfield were milling about as Green Arrow, Princess Leia and The Spirit and raised some eyebrows.

Finally Alan Davis was on fine form in the Flip Out event, I particularly enjoyed his cigar chomping Thing.
