The End

Seven years ago Eric Adams came to SPACE to aquaint the world with his new series Lackluster World. We set him up at the worst table we could possibly find, in the little room away from the crowds. He persevered. He continued to come to SPACE each year with another new issue of Lackluster World and dispite our best efforts the popularity of his series continued to grow. At SPACE 2011 he will return with the premiere of the final issue of Lackluster World entitled "The End". Just wait to see what we do to him!

Unsuspecting Eric at SPACE 2009.
