Miscellaneous News

I visited Orlando MegaCon on March 13, 14, and 15 and some some dynamite (I hope!) articles to bring you from there in the comig weeks.

A few outake quotes from the show...

Johm Byrne..."I don't cowtow to Wizard, that's why they don't like me. ... [Wizard] a bunch of wanna be's with power..." (I must mention John was nice enough to sign an extra comic for me - thanks John)

Robert [to Mark Waid] "I see you did a Lobo Annual"

Mark Waid...."Yes, it was the first time I did Lobo, and the last. I can't stand the character."

George Perez [joking - but myabe true!] "I've been clocked at 660 signatures an hour, and I pride my in making them as unreadable as possible."

Gil Kane "I'm semi-retired."

Dick Giordano "..and I'm doing an upcoming project with Bob Layton. Did I say that right Bob?"

And the quote of the show comes from none other than Bob Layton.

Bob Layton [Asking a question of a panel with DIck Giordanio on it] I have a question. Hi, my name is Bob Layton, and I'd like to be a comic book artist when I grow up."
