Transformers Regeneration One #80.5 FCBD signing

[Jaymz]

Orbital Comics in London are having a signing on Free Comic Book Day to celebrate the release of Transformers Regeneration One #80.5.

Writer Simon Furman, penciler Andrew Wildman, inker Stephen Baskerville, colourist John-Paul Bove and cover colourist Jason Cardy will be in store on Saturday 5th May 2012 from 12-2pm, where you can pick up a copy of The Transformers Regeneration One #80.5, get it signed and have a chat with the team behind the book!

Store details can be found here.


And if anyone fancies a pub meet afterwards, that'll be nice.

[Jim]

It is going straight in my diary!

Will I be able to bring something extra to be signed? I have a comic which already has Furman's scrawl but which I'd love to get Wildman & Baskerville's on as well. Just the one, I'm not going to bring a stack or anything.

[Grand Moff Muffin]

Count me in!

Yeah, feel free.

[Philip Ayres]

Yeah, see what we can do about coming up that day.

[The Doctor]

Can't make this myself, but if anyone is able to kindly grab me a copy signed by the creative team I would be most happy. Only if there was time though!

-Ralph

[Jaymz]

Added the flyer!

Ralph, remind me closer to the time, I should be able to get one for you.

[The Doctor]

I shall bear that in mind, thanks.

-Ralph

[Jaymz]

UPDATE: Cover colourist Jason Cardy will now also be joining us and signing on the day!

[The Doctor]

Sounds great! Darn my circumstances for would I love to be there!

-Ralph

[Andy Turnbull]

Dammit.

I can't make it for reasons I can't really comment on in public.

Arsebiscuits.

[MarvelManOz]

Hey Guys,

This makes me a bit sad being all the way over in Australia

Could I perhaps organise with someone to get a signed copy through PM? Happy to help out in some way if I can. I still have some free gifts from the Marvel UK run laying around etc.

Thanks all!

[The Doctor]

Seconded. I'd obviously cover postage. But if not, that is cool. The important thing is that those who go have a good time.

-Ralph

[MarvelManOz]

Sorted now guys. Much appreciated!!!

[Bogatan]

Ralph if I can I'll get one but I'll only be there for the first hour at most so not certain if I'll get my own signed yet. Not sure what to expect crowd wise.

Andy

[The Doctor]

It's cool. Jaymz has kindly put one aside.

-Ralph

[Jim]

Like bogatan, I'll probably only be able to be there for the first hour at most and am wondering about the crowds / queue - good idea to turn up especially early? (In practice, this would mean an hour early at most)

[glaug]

I shall make an effort to get there for the first hour or so then. Was hoping people would be sitting at the pub afterwards, but that's looking unlikely...

I'm counting on doing so! Not coming to London just for a signing. My train back's not till the evening.

Martin

[Andy Turnbull]

Hope everyone has fun tomorrow.

Andy

[Bogatan]

First in line, such a geek.

[Jim]

Right at the back of the queue near the counter!

[Jim]

Got my #80.5, US #72 and Frontier signed, plus the script for #80. Lovely people as always.

But curse my social phobia and poor face recognition for failing to socialise with anyone there at all. I failed even to say hello to Jaymz (to whom thanks for organising this!).

[Grand Moff Muffin]

I was somewhere in the middle of the queue with Andrew Borkett and Paul Cannon, a little way ahead of Paul Wright and James O. Mike Murray (glaug) also present, and James W of course.

One hour in comic shop, seven hours in pub. Definitely worth the trip.

For what it's worth, like everyone I got #80.5 signed by all five guests, and got my UK Classics Volumes 1 and 2 signed by Simon Furman, Andrew Wildman, and Jason Cardy who apparently coloured the Wildman covers for these, as he did for #80.5. All signed on the "This book belongs to..." page, naturally.

Martin

[Jim]

Oh, hold on. I'm pretty sure one of the chaps directly in front of me in a group of 3 was called Martin. And got his UK Classics volumes signed.

Yeah, you were right behind Martin and his crew. Sorry, I thought you had joined in with their group otherwise I would have introduced you.

[glaug]

I ended up right at the back of the queue, arriving fashionably late as I did at about 11:55. Was good to see everyone who went pub-ward again. And now the mystery of my "handle" is solved!

EDIT: I actually kept an eye out for Mr Bogatan, yet totally managed to miss him! Not sure how that happened.

[Bogatan]

I was out of there by 5 past 12, so probably wasnt near the back of the signing line after you joined it. Was hoping to hang around afterwards as I always miss the London meets, but the only affordable train home left at 1pm and the Fa Cup had must have filled all the cheap hostels so could stay another night.

My comic was signed #1 by Mr Wildman which made me even more happy to own this latest issue after, oh 20 years.

Also, I've never seen such a busy FCBD.

Well, as I'm sure there are no queue-jumpers amongst us, I imagine we all started at the back of the queue, but you weren't last, Mike, as I believe we waited together for Paul W and James O to catch us up.

Any photos from the day for those of us living overseas?

Any of the guys actually singing the books?

Lloyd.
