PM sent

[A-DONIS]

Looking forward to meeting Atkins, Jurgens, and Ramos. Not too sure about everyone else.

 

FX-Show also has some kick @$$ names. Coipel, and Golden will be there!!

[Celestial Comics]

So what other witnesses will be at MegaCon besides Desert Wind Comics and Par2ch? Just wondering who we will see.

 

Chandler & Sharon Rice

Desert Wind Comics

[Par2ch]

Does there really need to be any more? I think we have it covered Chandler

[Celestial Comics]

Dan,

 

I was just asking who else would be there. I am not worried about having enough witnesses to handle the show. Sharon and I were just wondering who else would be present at the show is all.

 

Chandler & Sharon Rice

[Kevin Boyd]

Just wanted to reconfirm that the only Witnesses I'm aware of accepting books for this show are Daniel Partouche and DesertWind Comics. If you are not attending and have SS requests for this show you should contact them ASAP to see if they can do them, and if so, arrange to get them out to them in time for the show.

 

MegaCon (and WonderCon) are a mere 10 days from today - not a lot of time left to make those arrangements.

 

CGC staff will be accepting some SS submissions at the booth.

[Par2ch]

Thanks Kev, and you know I am just teasing with you Chan the man.

How to prepare your books for submissions for the prestigious Signature Series at a show

 

We have prepared a list of steps you can take in advance of the show if you plan to drop books off for Signature Series signings. Books that are prepared in advance make it out onto the show floor for signings faster than those that are dropped off in regular bags and boards that need to then be prepped as follows:

 

Step 1:

Take a mylar or a polybag (make sure you have a backing board inside so you don't cut all the way thru the bag or mylar).

 

Step 2:

Decide what part of the cover you want the book signed on. Take a sharpie marker and draw a box on the bag or mylar OR take masking tape and carefully make a box on the cover using the masking tape.

 

Step 3:

Take a box cutter, X-acto knife or utility blade and carefully cut the inner part of the square you made with the sharpie marker or with the masking tape.

Note: if using tape, please make sure that there is no sticky residue on the edges of the tape after you have cut out the signing area box.

 

Step 4:

On the reverse side of the backing board please write the following:

1. Your name.

2. Your book title and issue number

3. The name of the creator you would like to sign the book – if more than one please write in ORDER OF PREFERENCE/PRIORITY – most desired #1

 

Step 5:

Place the comic into the bag or mylar with the signing area cut out.

 

Step 6:

Place the comic in the bag/mylar with the signing area cut out into a slightly larger bag or sleeve for safety during transport to the witness or to the show.

 

Thanks!

 

[Celestial Comics]

 

Bravo Kevin Bravo..

 

We are really glad to see this. I think you should make it a permanant thread for people to access. Heck Sharon and I have evan thought about making a short video on how to make signing bags. But this is a GREAT piece of information.

 

Chandler & Sharon Rice

Desert Wind Comics

[Kevin Boyd]

I think it's something we will be adding to the site in the near future, it would be nice to have photos as well. This will also be posted in every convention thread in the future.

[A-DONIS]

Anyone know if McNiven does sketches on comics? And what's the fee?

[Celestial Comics]

A note on McNiven. He said he will NOT do any sketchs on any books or sketch books. He will ONLY do a sketch on his sketch pad and it is $300.00. Dan attempted to get one on a Fallen Son and was turned down. Sorry guys.

 

Chandler & Sharon Rice

[A-DONIS]

Yup no sketches from McNiven or Cho..bummer.

 

But Humberto was nice..long line but worth the wait.
