There is also an opportunity to meet some of the original team behind the comic such as Nigel Kitching, Richard Elson, Ferran Rodriguez, Debra Tate, Lew Stringer, and Richard Burton. In addition to this, a special convention issue of the comic will be produced as a commemorative item.

The event takes place at the York Railway Institute Sports Hall on Saturday 20th May 2023. Doors are open from 10am - 6pm, with an afterparty taking place between 7pm - 10pm.
