Albany had a 1 day show yesterday with a few artists. These new guys I didn't recognize, but came somewhat prepared for the "old timers". $3 to get in, $10 for the Witchblade variant. It was nice and cozy, with NO waiting to see Herb Trimpe, Joe Sinnott, Fred Hembeck, and Joe Staton. You could just stand there and shoot the breeze with these guys. It was great. The Hulk was supposed to be Trimpe's first Marvel work, but he didn't know for sure. Joe Sinnott wasn't even sure he worked on the Silver Surfer #1 until he checked the credits. Guess these guys do too much to remember. Got a couple sketches made too.

And kind of sad. I've seen the same thing. Cardy comes to mind at the Orlando Comic-con.

 

I guess the younger collectors can't appreciate what the older artists did to make this hobby what it is today...

nice job! Can't believe there's no Staton in there tho. :-p

 

I love me some E-Man...

 

Yea, Staton was signing lots of E-Man. My buddy picked up a Green Lantern and got it signed. Staton's table was the slowest of the "biggies". Him and Hembeck. Staton hardly had any sketches in his portfolio, like two. I think I overheard him saying he wasn't prepared for this show,something about a date mixup maybe? Hembeck had a decent portfolio, but it was all the goofy stuff. Not my cup of tea.

 

What I found a little strange was some people had like 20 books in a stack all to get signed by one artist. I thought that was a little over the top, but I dunno.

They get a pretty good line at our M.C.B.A. cons as-well. But I do know what you mean

about the younger crowd. People like Herb, Joe, and many other creators who I

was a fanboy for are great to talk too, and it's as if I was friends with them from way back

when we talk.

Argh, I was still a little under the weather to make it this time. A couple of us went back in April and yes, great little show.
:hi: I didn't make it this time either.

 

Was I the only one there representing the boardies? That's kind of scarey!

Yes, I was going to see who wanted to make it, but fell pray to the dreaded bug.

 

Oh yeah, great booty too.

I didn't go this time around. Spent most of the day on the riding mower sucking up leaves.
