I live in England in a little town called Hastings, on the South Coast. I am 17 and don't go to college because it wasn't what I wanted to do. So I'm kind of having an unofficial gap year and I'm looking for a job so I can start earning some money of my own. Oh and I'm very envious of all you lucky people who live in the USA and more often than not have a comic book store in your own town... Not the most excting I know, but I'm bored.
Any other users from the UK going to London Film and Comic Con this year? Went last year for the first time and really enjoyed it. Wish I had the confidence to Cosplay...aha. Is the British International Comics Show any good?
So I love comic books and the whole style of them but I myself can't draw...like at all.
Wondering if there are other like minded people who would love to be able to draw and create comics but simply don't have the talent? Anyone wanna teach me? XD
Hey so thanks for all the responses. Was just venting really, didn't expect people to respond. In answer to some of you: -Yes, I do have the internet and could therefore order comics over the internet, but I enjoy being able to go into a shop and look before I buy. And also being able to browse different comics, without having to search for them...if you get what I mean. -Thanks for the thread link, will have a look and find my nearest. -Moving to the States is a tempting solution but being an unemployed 17 year old I don't think it's really a possibility at the moment. -I am not one of these 'hot' UK residents... -I live in the South East of England, so nearest store is London which is like an hour and a halfs drive...
Anyways, thanks for the response. Nice to know there are people in the same boat.
Anyone else live in the UK and hate the lack of Comic Book suppliers! I mean you can get like Spiderman and X-Men at high street newsagents but for the less mainstream comics it means a trip to somewhere like Forbidden Planet... Anyone else live miles from the nearest comic book shop!
