Dennis "The Kidd"s Recap of LsCon 2019
Heya everyone! Here is a little recap from me, Kidd (one of the organisers) on what was at the 5th iteration of Lusaka Comic Con which was held at NASDEC this year.

The quality of artwork has vastly improved over the years and it was nice seeing the evolution of the various artists journeys in their craft.
