Empire Big ScreenWith only 2 days to go till Empire presents …… BIG SCREEN is unleashed onto eager film fans some further exciting announcements have been made.

     A personal favourite as we delve into the world of the last great British Hellraisers with:

Friday 12 August
10.00-10.45: HELLRAISERS: LIVE, with Robert Sellers and JAKe
In October, Self-Made Hero will release a truly unique graphic novel, HELLRAISERS. An illustrated version of Empire contributor, Robert Sellers' book about the legendary antics of Richard Burton, Peter O'Toole, Richard Harris and Oliver Reed, it's a must-read. And a truly unique graphic novel deserves a truly unique event. To kick off COMIC BOOK WORLD, Robert Sellers and Hellraisers artist, JAKe, will perform a reading from the graphic novel, with JAKe drawing new and exclusive art LIVE on stage. Don't miss this amazing one-off to hear some hilarious tales of drunken derring-do and see magic happen before your eyes!
