Notes From Comic-Con (Sunday)

There’s never enough time to see or do things at Comic-Con . . . even after four jam-packed, intense days (and that’s not counting Wednesday’s Preview Night!). I think I’ve got plenty of time to check out the booths and say hello to friends, but next thing I know, the convention center is rolling up…

Notes From Comic-Con 2016

Hard to believe that Comic-Con International: San Diego 2016 has come and gone! Exhibit A Press had it’s usual berth at booth #1909 and this year featured the debut of the new Supernatural Law collection, A Vampire in Hollywood.  It’s always nice to see Wolff & Byrd readers come by to pick up the new…

Bicentennial, ‘Bye Seuling Cons

Every Fourth of July, I think of those Phil Seuling Comic Art Conventions that were held in New York back in the day. But this particular Independence Day forty years ago was a turning point for me. At one time, Seuling’s cons were the most anticipated and must-attend events for fans and comics professionals alike.…

Other cartoonists include …

San Diego Comic Fest 2016

Jackie and I had a great time at the fourth annual San Diego Comic Fest at the Town and Country in Mission Valley. We were especially pleased to be included as guests of the show! Comic Fest is, as the organizers describe it, “the friendly, intimate  comic con experience.” And that’s no hype! Though the…

Comic Book People + ComicKaze= Celebration!

There was a great turnout for Jackie Estrada’s Comic Book People 2 (her follow-up to last year’s Comic Book People) at Comickaze, Robert Scott’s new store at Liberty Station, Point Loma, San Diego. Lovely Wife Jackie gave a talk about how her two books of photographs came about, attending every San Diego Comic-Con, and anecdotes…

Murphy

Back in 2002, I decided to do a homage to those wonderfully bizarre gorilla covers that populated countless comic book covers during the “Silver Age” of comics– especially those published by DC Comics! And I was thrilled that the legendary Murphy Anderson, the artist who was responsible for many of those simian-centric covers, agreed to…
