THE WRAP UP-- INFINITE REALITIES COMICOPIA!

I had an absolutely amazing time at the first Infinite Realities Comicopia event in Tucker, Georgia over the weekend. It was a small event, but they had a nice array of guests, including a couple I'd not met before. Al Milgrom, Bob McCleod, Steve Englehart, June Brigman, Roy Richardson, dan Jurgens, Bob Burden, Lisa and Francesco Francavilla, Tony Harris, Laura Martin, Tom Fiester, and more. Evan Dorkin was the MVP. He had a line from start to finish each day.

The crowd was very enthusiastic and several I spoke with said this was their first con. I met some cool new people, caught up with friends, and sold some books and art. It was a good weekend at the con.

Chris Brennaman and his staff put on a great con. I hope they do it again next year.

A highlight of the weekend was meetings Al Milgrom (who wore a short with Convention -Al on it as a nod to his former Editori -Al pages at Marvel) and Bob McCleod, who did the cover art for the first comics I ever owned, which I showed them and thanked them for getting me hooked on comics. I also had lunch with Milgrom and my pal, Roy Richardson, which was fun. great guys.

I also picked up a few books and just enjoyed the weekend.

Here are some photos from the event.

These were my first ever comic books. Al Milgrom commented that he was excited to see that they were well-read. Also, I saw Mrs. Harris reading my book on Sunday morning and it made my day. And she wasn't scowling so I took it as a good sign.
