Convention Appearance??????

[Flemmings]

Does anyone know if Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird and David Sim will be appearing at any conventions this year?

[chainnball]

I believe Eastman and laird were at NYCC

[Jason Truong]

Dave Sim is not doing any appearances for the time being.

I remember looking at some ebay auctions that were on behalf of dave sims, at it mentioned something about him being pretty sick, i don't know if it was true but just thought id put it in

[SignatureSelect]

that is not dave sims that is sick. It is dave simons the marvel inker

[spideyfan88]

ahhhhhh sorry about that, but their names are similar.....

Yeah they were. I was more or less focusing on Stan Lee considering he wasn't going to be at WWLA. Therefore I figured since it was the Turtles 25 year anniversary that they would be everywhere. Oh how wrong I am. I can't find a convention appearance set up anywhere. So I came to the experts, hoping that someone would say that they will be at SDCC or Wizard World Chicago.

eastman and laird dont seem to team up these days since eastan is concentrating on heavy metal and sold off his half of the mirage studios.

[Flemmings]

I think its the other way around. I think Eastman sold of his half of the company. Never the less, this is the 25 year anniversary. This isn't day to day business. You would think that they could/would put their differences aside for an anniversary.

[PeasOfCrap]

you are correct sir!

at NYCC there were several Mirage panels and Kevin did not participate. i had to go to the heavy metal booth to meet kevin.

In talking to both of them several times at the NYCC, I could potentially see them putting aside their differences for a panel, but I don't see them setting up/traveling together anytime in the near future. They don't seem to hate each other, but they just don't see eye-to-eye. However, both of them seem to have a great deal of appreciation for their fans and in general will sign anything turtle-related for fans.

 

And because this is the signature room, I'm taking this as another chance to show off what I picked up from them in NY.

Adam,

 

That book is awesome. What sketch covers are all about.

[mschmidt]

that is not dave sims that is sick. It is dave simons the marvel inker

 

His name is "Dave Sim", not Sims.

 

I bought a couple of CCG SS Sim from Kevin here on the boards a while ago - I think he might be the best bet in that area (he seems to know him personally).

You can *almost* count on Eastman doing the San Diego Con by appearing at the Heavy Metal booth. He may not be announced as a special guest, but if Heavy Metal has a booth, he will 99.9% chance be there.

 

I believe Laird is doing at least one show in April in Boston? Or am I confusing that with a show that has already happened? I would assume both creators will be in San Diego, you will just have to go to 2 booths to get them.
