The NZA Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 hate to say it, but with all the losses we've seen so far this year, i'd been thinking about how many artist/writers i'd like to have met. coming off megacon, i got to take a few really big names off my list, but i wanted to talk about ones that are left & who else has a list of their own, as well as what stuff you have signed! digging through an old thread, i remembered meeting Bendis at megacon in like '01 & having him sign my Ultimate Spider-Man # 1 (boy, i really don't wanna look that one up now...), wish i'dve kept it since i don't see him doing cons as much now. other stuff like Joe Mad i had from prepackaged stuff i'd bought, but i believe i still have books i'd bought signed by Gaimain & Jeff Smith, even put up a Preacher poster ysterday that i forgot Glenn Fabry had signed! also, had DMC of the hip hop duo sign his comic last year, and my record too. Also, i'm really glad i ran into Mart Nodell years ago at a benie baby con, of all places - he was awesome, and totally got a kick out of messing with me. I took way too long to frame this fantastic GL poster he signed, and years later when i finally had the $ to buy a prop ring off him, he sent it with a really great letter too! so here's a sorta bucket list of creators/etc i'd dig: Alan Moore - ahahaha man i don't know if this guy's done a con in decades (and recent DC actions make it feel even less likely), but a man can dream Garth Ennis - i really wanted to meet dude/get something signed in the early aughts, after Preacher & Hitman in particular, but i believe he's also notorious for not liking cons Mike Mignola - he still does stuff, but it's been a while since he's been anwyhere near here! I was gonna say Sam Keith, but space just pointed me out to Boston con this year that he's attneding, so hopefully there's a chance someday! i missed Bill Seinkiewicz a while back too. what about ya'll?

Little Nemo McFly Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I think this goes here... Newtype would prolly get a kick outta this: It's Larry David! And me - on the verge of freakin' tears! LOL - his sig is already framed. Great, dry sense of humor - razor freakin' wit. He trolled these 'young adults' that came up and asked if he was the guy who created Ducktales. He just stared at me - and stone-faced just said yes - and also took credit for creating Donald Duck...back in 1934. They were amazed...and then just kept walking. I died. Fun facts: His favorite comic series is Tales From the Crypt and the first comic Carl Barks ever read was 'Little Nemo'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
