Back from Denver Comic-Con

Alright, its been two weeks now. But time does fly. So the weekend of the 17th – 19th of June 2016 I was at the Denver Comic-Con. I must say that this was one of the best comic cons I have been to in my almost 40 years of comic collecting. The guest list was huge and had names like Stan Lee, J. Scott Campbell, Tony Moore, Brett Booth, Chad Hardin, John Romita Jr. just to name a few. All the rest were of the same high quality as those mentioned.

For those into TV and Movies the guest list was equally impressive. Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Clark Gregg, Ian Somerhalder, John Rhys-Davies, Karl Urban, Sean Pertwee, and this is just to name a handful.

One comic creator I had the opportunity to meet was Allen Bellman. Take a look at his career. He started out in the forties. He is in his late 90’s and still going strong. Got a nice signed print from him.

I was helping out CBCS while I was there. I am an authorized witness. I was able to meet many people including Stan Lee because I was witnessing signings. It was a lot of fun.

I was able to pick up some copies of the Michael Turner Batman #1 variant and the Comic Madness Batman #1 variant. Yes, Michael Turner passed away a few years back, but Aspen found some unused art of his and made it available for print.

I was surprised about the length of the signature lines. Comic Creators had short lines. The longest I had to stand in one was about 10 minutes. That was for John Romita Jr. I even stood in line less for J. Scott Campbell. The celebrity lines were insane though. I saw lines taking as long as two hours to meet the celebs. Stan Lee’s line was as long. Still the biggest celeb in the room.

Bye all for now.
