Yeah, they are influential in the fact that they are running conventions all over the country. I think they miscalculated in going up against NYCC. I think the show next June will be very good.

 

Wizard is sort of in transition right now (at least it seems to me). I don't think Marvel & DC are doing the Wizard Conventions anymore, and they (Wizard) are trying to figure out how to adapt. They have kind of gone the easy celebrity route in my opinion, but some of the dealers have been talking to them about trying to get frontline comic guests into the show. Hopefully, this will happen and the shows will rebound as far as being comic book conventions.

In 1990 Joe wrote his memoirs , "Joe Simon With Joe Simon". it is one of the best history of comics that i have ever had the pleasure of reading. Not only is it well written but there are illustrations in the book that I have never seen anywhere else. The book traces Joe's entire career as well as the growth of comics from the Golden age on. It is out of print now but you can find copies on Ebay! It is a must for all Joe Simon fans!
