Free Comic Book Day! Who is getting some sketches or sigs at their local store?

[PeasOfCrap]

i only have rumors of big names at my LCS, how about you?

[Whovianone]

One of the many shops in my area is having a handful of local talent, but one of them, Justin Wasson, is pretty good. I've had him do two sketches before, and will likely have a 3rd done.

I didn't find anything in the Austin area where I'll be this weekend. Texas Frightmare is going on in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with Alice Cooper, Tyler Mane, Jason Mewes, etc. Brian Denham will be in the Dallas Area too. Both are about 3 hours from Austin. There's comicpalooza in Houston. Originally Ethan Van Sciver, Rags Morales, Herb Trimpe, and Len Wein were supposed to show, all have since canceled.

 

So no big names for me.

[A-DONIS]

I will be in Key West!!! But someone is getting Mike Deodator Jr. for me. Wolverine Origins #28 The best cover yet!!

The only "big name" that I know of in Austin guest wise will be the Defuser at Capstone. Artist wise I think its local talent but even so I believe I'll be getting me a couple sketches.

 

The Blackest Night Sketch thread gave me a couple ideas....

[Billy the Kidd]

Not in my area but..

 

Jim Lee posted at 1:12AM MAY 2nd (pretty last minute) on his myspace that he will be attending the Comics Unlimited, Westminster, CA (near LA) from 4PM to 7PM for FCBD. He says, "Most likely will NOT be sketching but come hang out anyway..."

 

 

If anyone plans to attend and Jim changes his mind about sketching.. I'm willing to pay top dollars for a sketch made out to me..

[A-DONIS]

I don't do Cali
