Rob Liefeld and the London Film And Comic Con – The Weekend After
Last weekend, Bleeding Cool popped along to the London Film and Comic Con. Rob Liefeld was the big-name comic book creator at the show – though was officially a media guest. We previously reported on his health issues at the show – as well as issues regarding hotel room payment. Then the Comic Zone organiser and comic book/TV/movie writer Tony Lee pitched in.
Sorry to hear that Rob. If you'd stayed at the con hotel the comic zone had originally booked you in, I guarantee that wouldn't have happened. I will contact management immediately. Changing hotels always causes admin issues.

But as Rob Liefeld posted about coming to the show anyway, despite feeling rather ill…
I am sick in bed, trying to summon the strength to make it to the show… https://t.co/Hk0JvCoLA6

Please spread the word! I may faint signing your stuff but I will be there until closing or I pass out @Showmasters https://t.co/0piW5JVj7k

…it seems his fellow comic book creators at the show were less than sympathetic. And so decided to royally take the piss.
Managed to get out of bed this morning for the last day of #LFCC2019 despite feeling really bad. The Masterclass Symposiums are going great, and I am pleased to be here to manage them.

Feeling shattered after #SDCC, but managed to drag myself out of bed this morning to see the fans and do my morning panels at #LFCC2019. Keep on keeping on! #ponycon pic.twitter.com/EW9ES620vC

Scrambled from my death bed, feeling rough as an orcs codpiece and may have lost a limb or two but the fans need me, so as long as I can clasp a sharpie between my teeth I'm there for them. #lfcc2019 pic.twitter.com/pjtV9FJjeV

My sickbed was nice, warm and fetid, but I've managed to arise and make it to #LFCC2019

The Final Day of #LFCC2019. Delighted to be here thanks to @mrtonylee. Sunday has proved a challenge though with a struggle to get here from our hotel. I nearly lost my pony in the Swamp of Sadness. All good now. #ponycon pic.twitter.com/zo7GYgLY4x

Feeling exhausted after being on the road for 2 weeks after #SDCC19 and suffering with gout but wouldn't have missed #LFCC2019 for the world! Such great creators and fans and worth the struggle to be here! 😀 #lfcc #ComicsPeopleAreMyKindaPeople

Risen from my deathbed to appear at #LFCC2019. Don't miss it – my first, only, and last time signing today!
— Mick at #LFCC2019 (@Jeyradan) July 28, 2019
A bit overcast and almost raining this morning, I almost didn't attend #lfcc at all today 🤷🏽♂️🤭 But I'd made a promise to fans, @Showmasters and @mrtonylee so decided to power through! 😉🙌🏼

I may have drawn blood on an errant cable but I shall battle on. For this is #LFCC2019 #lfcc #lfcc19 pic.twitter.com/WmrFngS9kx

But the war of words continued between Tony and Rob during the final Sunday…
If someone sees @robertliefeld on the con floor, could they remind him please that his photo shoot fans are still waiting for him. Thanks.
— Tony Lee @ #LFCC2019 (@mrtonylee) July 28, 2019
I've been here. I don't have a schedule. I'm sorry that no one sought me out! https://t.co/ui4IVHRHPH
— robliefeld (@robertliefeld) July 28, 2019
Well, as your schedule is the one your people organised, supposedly with your blessing, I think you should be having a chat with them about this.
Glad you were able to find your fans.
— Tony Lee (@mrtonylee) July 28, 2019
Robs people knew everything. If they didn't pass it to Rob, they're to blame.
— Tony Lee (@mrtonylee) July 28, 2019
This could not be further from the truth! Volunteers showed up every for photo ops and showed me the way. Different locations each time. No one sought me out for today. And the time was pushed back each day. Tony is misinformed. Truth will set you free! https://t.co/pcfZVmndZR
— robliefeld (@robertliefeld) July 28, 2019
My comic team are amazing and have worked their asses off all weekend. If you're going to insult me? Fine. But if you insult them, at least have the guts to debate them rather than blocking the moment they prove you wrong. #LFCC2019
— Tony Lee @ #LFCC2019 (@mrtonylee) July 28, 2019
If I clearly know nothing it's because your people at the table were obviously lying to me when they were telling me that they had told him when and where things were. Or were they telling the truth, and many of these were errors on both sides?
— Tony Lee @ #LFCC2019 (@mrtonylee) July 28, 2019
Rob, your own people, the volunteers and your photo shoot Deadpool cosplayer all told me that they had told you where to go today. The truth will indeed set you free, but someone here is confusing the situation.
— Tony Lee @ #LFCC2019 (@mrtonylee) July 28, 2019
That's not true. You are dizzy spinning in your own spin. They say the exact opposite I'm afraid. https://t.co/O04ylvUjR2

— Tim Pilcher @LFCC (@Tim_Pilcher) July 28, 2019
Unfortunately this now becomes a he said she said situation. Tired of arguing. Sorry you had a bad con, glad you had a chance to see some sights, safe journey.
— Tony Lee (@mrtonylee) July 28, 2019
Hey, for the record, to the 12 people,( I was told it was 12) @Showmasters today for photos, I did not cancel the session. I was on the floor from 12-6pm. I don't have the power to cancel the session. To those of you who came to my booth to renew the photo's, thank you!
— robliefeld (@robertliefeld) July 28, 2019
I appreciate all of you who were so patient and enthusiastic!! Some select members of the show staff seem to have an axe to grind but it did not deter from great time with everyone! https://t.co/LVR7GsKp3i

Other people had different takes of course. Remember our sad tuba player? Now a happy tuba player.
So I had the huge honour to meet @robertliefeld this weekend at LFCC. Genuinely one of the nicest guys I've ever met.
He had time for everyone who had made their way there to see him. Didn't even bat an eyelid when I asked him to sign one of the trumpets. pic.twitter.com/TNRvUFVqHL

This picture is still blowing my mind. @robertliefeld sir you didn't have to take photo with me but I'm so thankful you did. I've been a Deadpool fan since picking up new mutants #98 as my first comic. My brother is a huge fan it was soo cool to meet you. Thank you pic.twitter.com/JGKtx8aAdN

One of my favorite pics I got with @robertliefeld Rob is genuine and kind and it was a honor to meet him in person, and he encouraged me to continue as an artist! pic.twitter.com/Z3nH6jcZ7x

I took a photo of @robertliefeld taking a photo of my boyfriends deadpool today at LFCC. He was so touched. Such a nice guy! pic.twitter.com/Nopg9ytilS

And even Rob had a moment…
As for who called the police and why… well that may have to be a different story.
