Magus: The Alan Moore Conference (Day Two)
Here’s another one of Adele’s photos: just out of shot to Alan’s left is me holding Melinda’s glass. One of these days, I’m going to remember to take a picture with them. But don’t they look sweet together? More on thee two later. I left London on the same train as I had the day…
