I wonder if there will be increased demand for SA Marvel keys that are NOT signed by Stan the Man Lee, as Stan signed so many? (shrug)

Capaldi panel was great !

Seeing a fan boy grow up to be the doctor was soon cool ..

 

Interesting that capaldi had one of his letters published in the original dr who fan magazines when he was a kid 

Mcfarlane had 11 "no prize " letters published in comics as well !
