Mark Waid & Alex Ross Signature circa 1996 (what is this????)

[LordBurke81]

hey folks,

 

A friend of mine gave me this book today. He said he had it signed by Mark Waid & Alex Ross @ Wizard World Chicago 1996 or 1997. He also said he happened to tick off Alex Ross by not recognizing him. Can someone tell me what he signed? it doenst look like his signature, and he might have been a little mad when he did it.

 

thanks

Alex Ross was pissed off because somebody didn't recognize him???

[LordBurke81]

Well, it was pre-internet... Wizard magazine was still the only way to get pics of creators...

Pre-internet?! I remember sitting there with my comadore 64.. trying to connect to the 'E-Mall' with a 5" floppy . Did not reaize the modem neded to be hooked up to the phone.

 

And early 1990's... 14.5kbps... omg took 5 mins per pic to load...

 

Got a 56kbps... was like W.O.W.!

That's not an Alex Ross signature - it looks like it was signed by Mark Waid and DC editor Dan Raspler.

Definitely not an Alex Ross sig.

[LordBurke81]

does anyone one else have a Dan Raspler sig to compare. My bud that gave this to me said that it was Alex Ross, as they had tables next to each other (i dont see why the dc editor would have a table).

It's Def. Mark Waid...Not Alex Ross.

 

I haven't seen a Dan Raspler sig... checking google

Dan Raspler was the editor on this particular book, so it's not completely out of the question that he would be sitting with Mark Waid. A quick google search pulled up this image:

No matter what, there's zero chance it's an Alex Ross sig.

Dan Raspler it is

[LordBurke81]

No wonder your friend didn't recognize "Alex Ross"!

[sl4ppy]

this is an Alex Ross signature.

 

[LordBurke81]

I know what Ross looks like I have quite a few of them

[A-DONIS]

So what was the point of you asking if IT was Ross' sig?

[LordBurke81]

Well, I figured that it was Ross, but he signed another name cuz he was mad or something. Thats the way it went according to my friend.

[A-DONIS]

Okay So Alex Ross signed another name on the cover because he was mad?? WHAT??
