Controversy as author visits city to sign comic book on drug-smuggling
THE son of a convicted drug smuggler once named the most wanted criminal in Britain is to visit Sheffield this weekend to sign copies of a controversial comic book.
Author Jason Wilson, aged 37, wrote Him & Hers Smuggling Vacation with the help of his father Tony Spencer.
Jason's dad was sentenced to six years in jail for importing cannabis in 2003.
He was named the most wanted criminal in Britain by police investigating a Midlands drugs factory.
The book is about a couple who try to smuggle a cannabis stash from Spain.
It caused an outcry when it was being circulated in a Birmingham prison.
Jason said: "Obviously the public will probably learn quite a lot they didn't know about drug smuggling but I don't imagine it will be telling prisoners anything they don't already know."
He will sign copies at a Sci Fi Comic and Book Sale at Hallam University on Howard Street tomorrow from noon.
