Wow! Day three was filled with costumed cuties and old friends and a few surprises! I started off back at the Heavy Metal Booth which seemed to have become my base of operations. I met another member of the creative force behind "War of the Worlds: Goliath", Leon Tan! He's the guy beside me in the picture;
We shared a lot of thoughts and info on the film and I have REALLY high hopes for its success.
Next up was a quick trip to the FOX Booth for a picture of Adam West, former TV Batman and current Mayor of Quahog, Rhode Island on "Family Guy". He was swamped with eager fans wanting a signed postr so we didn't get a chance to talk about old times when he MC'd the Comic-Con Masquerade..
Sorry it's fuzzy, but I got bumped just as I snapped the shutter. While I was there, I got a special ticket for a Free Signed poster of the cast of the upcoming show "Alcatraz" and I got to take a few quick pictures;
The Booth Babes;
The show is slated for a 2013 release and I can't wait!
From there I made a beeline for the Vanguard booth to see if Jim Steranko would be there and if he remembered Aug. 2nd, 1980 when he was a guest at my wedding. He DID!
He always was a snappy dresser!
I took a left and looked over at the "Profiles in History" booth and who did I spy with my little eye? Billy Zane from "The Phantom";
Looking sharp!
I found this guy laying around the "Spartacus" Booth;
Over in Artist's Alley I dropped by on old friend Stan Sakai and we had a little chat about "Usagi Yojimbo" and what he has in store, but he swore me to secrecy...
Last year I was lucky enough to meet and makes friends with Todd Stashwick and Dennis Calero;
Todd is an actor, writer and comedian who has starred in many TV shows, "Heroes" among them. Dennis is a fantastic artist and you can see their work at; http://www.toddstashwick.com/comic.asp?E=1 . They just finished a 52 week run and will be starting a new chapter very soon, so jump on over and check it out!
Well folks, I don't want to overload you just yet, so stay tuned for Day 4 which will be up tomorrow and after that I will share even more tales and pictures form Comic Con!
