Finally, (well for tonight at least) I'd have to say the highlight of my day was meeting Ramona Fradon!

 

She's 86 years old and was born in 1926.

 

She pretty much got into comics in the mid 50's drawing Aquaman in Adventure Comics and co-creating Aqualad.

 

When I went up to her table she was sitting by herself sketching away at a sheet of paper with a HB pencil while using her finger to smudge away to create tone.

 

She was working on a House of Mystery Halloween cover and she had the logo nailed perfectly and the drawing was terrific!

 

I bought a sketch off her table and talked briefly with her.

 

I hope I'm able to get a few more pieces from her as she's truly a gem from the Golden/Silver age of comics! :)

Well almost.

 

Ended up going to TGI Fridays in NJ on the way back home and had this interesting beer.

 

It's a 'blend' of Guiness and Blue Moon and to tell you the truth, it wasn't bad at all!

I was pretty happy to be able to get one of these... I guess I was just in the right place at the right time.

 

As soon as I bought this I heard that there were only 2 left!

I guess that's it for my pictures... thanks for the comments everyone!

 

Speedy, Ramona was awesome indeed! I really hope I can get more artwork from her. I guess she does commissions so that's a possibility...

 

Sharon, hopefully you can meet her soon! :)
