2016 SDCC Report

[Prince Namor]

Found this in an old wizard mag

 

 

I went to that show. I was especially happy to meet Irv Novick. Being a GA guy and loving the old MLJ books. I don't think he made many comic con appearances.

 

I remember Gil Kane being a bit of a tool though. I had had Marty O'Dell sign my Showcase #22 because he created the "original" Green Lantern. He and Kane must have had a "tiff" because he wouldn't sign my book because that "hack" as he put it signed it. Luckily, Julius Schwartz was in the booth and convinced him to do it.

 

 

Very, very cool!

That Julie Schwartz auto is amazing. It's such child like writing that it looks completely fake at first galnce

[Duffman_Comics]

Well, he was 80 at the time.

 

Nice swag of sigs RM. That was one of the SDCC's I attended. Still remember one of "our party" "button holing" Frank Miller as he tried to get negotiate the entrance.

 

Fun times.

[Timely]

I asked. She didn't. Hence the giggle.

Great thread Chuck

Huh...pretty sure she was J.Scott Campbell's girlfriend at some point and he used her as the model for his Slave Leia art. This was a while back, she still looks the same!

 

Thanks as well for sharing the photos. I was there, and I missed a bunch of this! There's really no way to capture the experience (even if you're there, you won't see it all!), but very cool of you to do this.

I was at that show as well. Carl Barks was there with Gladstone, and I got his autograph on the (I believe) show exclusive comic. It was $10. Still got it around somewhere!

I think he was a lefty?

[mosconi]

Great report. Curious, any photos of the comic dealers and their wares?

I don't believe Barks was at that particular show but I could of course, be wrong. I know he was at several others. I got his autograph on a couple books at San Diego cons. He, (like all artists back then), didn't charge me anything.

There was a few in there. There'll be more from Chicago.

Thanks, great all around.
