Emerald City Comicon, WA April 1/07 review, pics

[thomasdacat]

I did see She-Hulk.

 

She was roughly 5'8, around a not so firm 240 lbs, had short cut-off frayed jeans, a denim cut top and green paint smeared all over.

That was Greggy!

Impressive!

 

Anyone snag a limited edition Clayton Crain Print? They were out today, and I'd love to have one...

Was that a Clayton Crain Ghost Rider print to cash in on the passed movie hype? He used to draw the comic.

 

Here are some larger pics of Funny Stuff for detective27kid so he does not need to squint:

Low grade reading copies ideal for the Dodo and Frog/Funny Stuff completist:

I've been a fan of his style of art since the "Road to Damnation" 6 ish mini in 2005; the prints are more of the same type of Ghost Rider art with the computer layering which adds a ton of depth.

 

Cash in on the passed movie hype? Maybe, but he actually had more of his Spidey work on the table, and his sketches were almost all Spideys.

Was Daniel there peddling PGX?

Jim

Yes but unlike CGC, they didn't seem to be accepting any submissions

[aardvark88]

I only saw PGX Daniel's sidekick at the Seattle comicon. Pretty sure they would accept submissions as they have in the previous 2 yrs. They had 5 staff at their more local Portland comicon booth in Feb/07.

if you're fulfilling scan requests, i would love to see those Doom Patrols.

 

i couldn't find any HG copies in Hickory, aside from a nice copy of MGA 80 that i'm not quite prepared to pay 300 bux for

[Tiziano]

This was an awesome convention!!!!

Had a blast.

Kudos to Jim & his staff

[aardvark88]

Those Doom Patrols are early SA DC circa 1964 and VERY tough to find in vf. Even the Beast Boy origin issue, a later #, is scarce and a FINALLY got a copy.

tell me something i don't know! wait until the movie comes out...

 

 

scans?

 

 

get to work!

[aardvark88]

Sal,

Are u serious about a Doom Patrol movie? Even all CGI would be fun like new TMNT 2007 movie just released.

 

I also collect Tasmanian Devil. Very easy run to complete:

I also met a hardcore underground comix dealer named Bob D. Think he was from Portland, OR. His entire booth was full of UGs. He showed me his secret stash of unread raw nm mag-sized UGs so scarce, I did not even recognize the titles. They were each bagged and mounted on oversized corrugated cardboard as a backing.

 

I just got this rare Rand Holmes (Vancouver underground artist) canvas giclee. It is a satirical twist of Norman Rockwell's perfect Canadian family sitting around the evening dinner table clipping the demon weed and getting it ready for sale at the next community bingo hall event. Limited edition of 12 in this size:

what satire?

you know thats really what Canadians do on a typical evening.

[aardvark88]

ares,

U are right especially with all the BC forumites. Think we have the highest per capita of smokers and tokers in Canada here in Vancouver area.

[aardvark88]

I heard from an exhibitor in Seattle, WA that the estimated 2 day comicon attendance was 7,000. Big improvement over just 4 years ago when their inauguaral 2 day show hit 2,600 fans.

The only fun I had was:

 

*Telling a first time submitter at the CGC booth to call CGC on Tuesday and get a status, and if it's not call once per day till it's done.

 

I told Gemma to give him your phone number!

Too bad it was a "her"
