Live | Wales Comicon

We’ve sent associate editor Craig Austin and design editor Dean Lewis to this year’s Wales Comicon at Glyndwr University, Wrexham to experience one of modern pop culture’s greatest phenomenons. Here, in the first part of Wales Arts Review’s coverage, Craig and Dean post images of the day’s finds. Join us later in the week for more original artwork from Dean, and a review of the day from Craig.
