Why so serious?

An amazing gift from the MidJersey Comicon, art by Brian Quinn and wash by Neil Vokes.
They also turned me on to Comic Art Fans- go ahead, type just about any artist and tons of original art and convention sketches come up. What a great way to share private collections. Brian has 23 results (many are Harley Quinn, wrong quinn) and Neil has 299 results. I hope to add more from my sketchbook of redhead characters along the way.


Did you see the Robert Downey Jr. f--- DC comics story?

Reading Fables: The Good Prince, collecting issues 60-69. Coming closer to catching up to the floppies!

Another Comicon!

A good comicon yesterday! Met some new artists and dealers, had good attendance even though it was a beautiful beach day! I have some sketches to scan and share, and much more commentary later...here are some photos from MidJersey Comicon 2008!
Many thanks to the crack admission staff (phillygirl and J), Harvey and the pulp crowd, and shoreturtle's support! And of course all the people who set up or attended.

About the Comicon...

A really good response to yesterday's show from guests and dealers and even the public! Because of many additional expenses, the only downer is we barely broke even financially. There were even two other librarians- a great library director and an archivist who had a table selling original art.
It was organized, good, nice door prizes...and now I have a lot of post things to do, but it's nice to put it to bed. Michael Golden was a great special guest, and it was fun to see even the professionals happy to see him there. He'll be next at the Emerald City Con this weekend.
Thanks to staff PhillyGirl, Shoreturtle and JohnO!

Wanna see photos of: a Stormtrooper, artists, writers, fans, Variant Edition interviews, door prize winners, and me reading Gumby 3D!

This is madness! This is running a comicon.

Light posting this week while I prepare for the MidJersey Comicon! There is so much to do running even a small con- tables, chairs, guests, press, cash, door prizes (Michael Golden and Mike Oeming both offered work!), etc.

I saw 300. It was true to the look and dialogue of the GN. I'm a little concerned that they are playing this on military bases-- the Spartans vs. the Persians is not US vs. 'axis of evil'. Miller has always been very to the right (Holy Terror, Batman?) and loves his naked ladies. I did think it was appropriate that the Oracle was a redhead. The expansion of the wife's role at home was completely undone by yet another covet-thy-wife by the scumbag traitor...done to death.

Thanks Elayne for this post
I love her Friday cat blogging! The weblog has been chock full of bloggers I haven't followed; my only regret is that I just can't read the 200 posts per day.


I haven't even read any coverage from Wizard LA myself.Wizard World LA
