Thought Bubble has been and gone for another year, and we thought we'd take some time to review what we regard as the absolute BEST comic convention in the UK... This is the second year that the weekend convention - the grand finale of what is in fact a week long festival of comics/sequential art/graphic narrative/whatever you want to call them - took up station in the centre of Leeds and it was every bit as glorious as last year.

Truly Robin's original costume stands as one of the very, very few male costumes that can give the daftest of the female ones a run for their money - from the pixie boots and the massive gloves to the fact that he's running around in speedos, it's a look that only got sillier as Grayson grew into his teens. So like mo
