Sonic the Comic legends Nigel Kitching and Nigel Dobbyn are to be special guests at the Summer of Sonic 2009 convention, it has been revealed. The two are well known for their influence in creating, arguably, one of the greatest canons outside of the computer game series.
A Q&A session will be arranged on the day to chat to the duo on stage, and they will be available for signings and general chit-chat with fans who grew up with the Egmont Fleetway publication. Kitching is a return guest from last year’s debut convention, while Dobbyn contributed to Summer of Sonic 2008 by lending original prints to be displayed.
This is the first of many large announcements regarding guests, features and activities to be made over the course of the next few weeks on the Summer of Sonic 2009 website. You can keep a track of the action, and communicate with the organisers directly by heading there now.
YIPPI!!!! Nigel Kitching was such a nice person, never met Mr Dobbyn before, but I’m sure he’s nice.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.
Wonder if that guy who I drew Tails for is going to be hanging around him again at any point.
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F@ck yes, I was waiting for this. Now I can bring some Sonic the comics and ask for signs. Also I might be able to ask for some advice about breaking into the industry. Sure these guys will be awesome.
Never read the comic. Frankly, Britan has waay to many Nigels running around.XD
Argh! I wish I could go! I’ve wanted to meet Nigel Kitching for a while now, Sh&@! Da*# you, Kitching, you have evaded me once again!
But I swear, someday, I WILL meet you! Ha-ha-ha!!!!
