Thanks to STGCC, local fans have been lucky to meet their share of British comics guests for the last three years.
In 2010, veteran artist of "
V for Vendetta" fame
David Lloyd was invited as a special guest. The following year, games/ music journalist turned comic book writer
Kieron Gillen flew into
Red Dot Island and showed us how to rock the convention in a nifty white suit.
This year,
Red Dot Diva was glad that STGCC kept up with the Union Jack trend by having writer and former 2000 AD editor,
Andy Diggle as a guest. Besides his creative talents in works like "
The Losers" (Vertigo), "
Green Arrow: Year One" (DC), "
Shadowland" (Marvel), "
Silent Dragon" with Leinil Yu and Gerry Alanguilan and the latest "
Dr Who" (IDW), he also sports a sexy goatee. And Goddess be known that
Red Dot Diva sure loves a sexy goatee.
Red Dot Diva got to meet
Andy Diggle (and his goatee) up close at
the STGCC Media Preview, together with a few other invited journalists and bloggers. In the short span of 20 minutes, he happily and very eloquently fielded several questions about the comics industry, about writing, his various works, and his thoughts on "
The Losers" movie.
Here are some of the extracts from the interview:
