Toronto Comicon - big success!

[AlexH]

Alex that is one helluva sketch! Is it by Darwyn Cooke?

 

Yup. It is a pencil and ink on hard cardboard (not sure how to describe it). But it is 12 by 18.

Here's a post forum dinner pic taken at the after party at Vinnies! The board members in attendance were:

I apologize for the low resolution pic. I have some other pics out to paradise and hopefully darth who kindly agreed to host some stuff for me.

 

Congrats to Peter and Kevin on an EXCELLENT con!

 

DAM

 

David,

 

I think you'll have to repost this pic. I think it got erased by the upgrades.

dam60's pics - only got 11 - they were too big so I had to resize them...

 

Kevthemev ("Kevin") in the hotel, waiting for the next "loveseat" victim to come along

The King and Queen of the Con: ParadiseComics ("Peter") and Irene Dixon

Tough Guys, Kevin and Peter, after roughing up some artists for CGC Sig Series

 

 

[Darthdiesel]

Koop from Koopscomics - he had an amazing show as the canadians were starved for US dealers (Donut and I are treated to all his sweaty afterglow at the local Tysons Corner, VA show every month!)

 

[Darthdiesel]

Bob the Angry Flower - this was the coolest example of the independents that I saw. The guy was pretty cool and heh, you gotta give a man credit for walking around like that! (Mad 'cause spent all day trying to fit his stamen into his pistil...)

 

 

 

[Darthdiesel]

Comicmanager ("Doug") manning the Paradise Booth - from what I hear Paradise also had a killer show

[Darthdiesel]

Darrick Robertson working on my sketch book (Darrick was very cool and lives in Brooklyn so I was able to talk to him a bit about that)

 

[Darthdiesel]

Terry Moore (Strangers in Paradise) and Peter "Paradise" Dixon

Charity Auction highlight - the Batman 608 RRP donated straight from DC comics - This book HAS "LEGS"! That $ figure needs another zero at the end of it, IMO

 

 

[Darthdiesel]

Charity Auction MC and volunteer with the Predator that Kevin won (I like predator but didn't want to chance taking that thing through customs, as they already gave my rump a good once over on the way in! )

 

[Darthdiesel]

Charity Auction volunteer with a signed print - the charity auction had TONS of stuff in a whole bunch of different genres from raw comics to graded comics to tpbs to busts to original art (quite a few original art pieces donated by the artists)

Darth,

 

Do you have the Vinnie's pic? That got deleted I think.

Alex, who is pictured in the 4th pic that Darth posted? I recall seeing him in San Diego!

I'm not sure. I think (?) he is one of the US dealers.

That's Tim Koops of KoopsComics. A great guy. I stuck around his table at set-up, long enough to have him fess up some early undergrounds...

So....where is he from?

So....where is he from?

 

I believe Waldorf, MD

 

He invited me to hang at his table in San Diego next year. He's into undergrounds too, and loves that show.

 

If you need to get in touch with him, he's at www.koopscomics.com

Alex - I only have 11 for now...dave is sending the rest and I'll resize and post tonight..so I don't have the Vinnie pic. I recognize some folks like kevthemev, Peter Dixon (and wife?), Tim Koops and that's about it.. Dave didn't send me captions and I didn't want to take liberties with them ...although pictures are worth a thousand words...

 

Off topic - I'm wondering if Palmiotti and Connor posted any new pics to their website...but usually there is more risquee content on that...
