San Diego Comic Con Indy Friendly Pictures pt 3

While I was running around San Diego I did try to make sure that I caught some of my fellow indy publishers while I was on site. They weren't all too friendly at getting their pictures taken, but I know how to sneak and hide. When they least expected it...POW! I socked them in the nose and made them pose.

These guys from APE Entertainment were extremely cool. I've been a big fan of theirs ever since I picked up some of their trades at my local shop.
I am not sure who is in the picture. Is it Brent Erwin, David Hedgecock, Mike Hall or someone just minding the store...I forget names as fast as I forget yesterday's breakfast. Sorry.

[Belacaleb helped me out by saying that guy in the middle is INDEED Brent Erwin. Sorry but he's not sure about the guy on the left or the blond on the right but thinks that he's kissed them both.]

Stan Yan got me to touch The WANG. I felt so dirty inside. Stan just laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed.



















Then I captured Jason Martin, the creator of SUPER REAL while he was sleeping. I actually got him to sign a book for me too. Though it says "Wee winky woo woo", but that's still cool.





















Here's a couple from Dreamweaver Press. I believe that's Daphne Lage in the dress. The guy trying to get out of the picture is wanted in Utah for multiple felony counts so he was trying to hide. I support the police so I made sure to use the wide angle.
Bad boys, bad boys Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do When they come for you!

This is my UNKNOWN picture #1. Who are these two? I was stuck in traffic and this guy had some major sideburns. The comics looked interesting...but crap, look at those sideburns!! The book is STORMCROW.

Spike & Mike's animation is pretty cool...but what about that hat? Seconds after this photo was taken the guy flaps his wings and flies away. Quee Reek! Quee Reek!

This is Bob Burden from Flaming Carrot and this book should be so much more famous than it is. It's been around since the 1970's. Great guy and more people should have taken the time to stop by. Bob is in that class of creators who the younger crowd should be embracing and learning from. To understand what I'm talking about you just have to pick up a volume of his book.

My friend Brant wants to know where you can buy that statue. Luckily Bob is selling them himself at his website. Pretty cool statues but according to what Bob wrote on the website, they're extremely limited.

In the picture below you can see Serena Valentino (far right), creator of Gloom Cookie and Nightmares and Fairy Tales. These books looked great. But I haven't gotten to reading them yet as I've been writing so much. You'd think a writer would have more reading time. But there's only so much time in the day and I've got to fit as much eating, sleeping, and sex into every hour that I can. Life is short.

The woman in glasses I think is an artist and was extremely nice. I'm sorry that I didn't get her name. If anyone would be so kind, please leave a comment with who she is.

[Serena Valentino emailed me to set the record straight. Thanks Serena! " That would be John Gebbia (on the left), GloomCookie artist 7-12 and FSc (next to me) Nightmares & Fairy Tales co-creator and artist 1-12." FSc is the middle person in glasses. Cool name, but I had to read the email about 10 times before I figured out what that meant. And poor John, I thought he was just their to count bags and loose change.]

I've got more pictures of some famous faces...but I've got business to do so that will have to be all for today.
