First time I remember getting a comic signed in person was some comic convention, maybe Long Beach or something, early 90’s. It was right before Ultraverse had launched. I had Jae Lee sign an issue of Namor. I wasn’t a Namor reader, didn’t know who Jae Lee was, and bought the issue at the show for him to sign because he was there. Still a cool experience.

 

don’t remember if it was before or after that but one day at the LCS Kris Silver was there promoting Greater Mercury Comics and Silverwolf and had a bunch of comics there. Be hard sold me on the Grips trade when I was like 10 and he signed it and an artist that was with him sketched in it. Pretty sure they signed/sketched an issue of Edge as well. I don’t think the artist was the illustrator for Grips or Edge.

 

the only other comic I’ve had signed in person was the big Xaime book a few years back. Met my favorite cartoonist.

I'm liking these books with the signatures on the interior pages. 

Can’t go wrong with placement this way.

Neat, consistent.

These are “old school”. I have always preferred them this way. A fun surprise when you open them. And always in ball point pen not sharpie to keep them nice and legible. Plus, if I were ever to get them graded, they would get a blue label.

You can find the story regarding Neal Adams here

Yeah, that's a rough intro to that side of the hobby. My younger brother had the same experience the first time he found NA at a show, except he walk away completely disappointed.

Ol' Neal sure seemed happy you had the money.

I’m surprised I even had enough money for all of that. lol

Murphy Anderson on my childhood copy of Hawkman #1. Gotta be the smallest autograph I’ve ever gotton. I loved Hawkman as a kid. Never gave it any thought as who drew it back then but really love his work. 

A very nice guy and super friendly. He was very impressed that I had saved it. One of just a few of my original childhood books.

When I was young, I carried around a "jam" art board.  Murphy Anderson drew Adam Strange on it for me, super nice man.  Curt Swan was set up beside him so I asked if he would draw Superman on it.  NO, i don't do drawings at shows.  Murphy said, come on Curt, draw the kid a Superman.  So he did.  Thanks Murphy!
