Okay normally I don't post photos of myself but I am still in shock and awe over what happened the 29th.

Look

That's me as Catcher. And who's that next to me? Oh you know, The Terry Farrell aka Jadzia Dax from DS9. And let me tell you, nicest most amazing person to talk too. Knew I was cosplaying the Catcher loved my sign (I had actors sign the back as my "references") I got to show her my CCBB collection and infodump to her and she was super excited about it. Literally so awesome I will be thinking about it for years to come.

I attended Terrificon in Connecticut this past Friday.

It was a delight. What a wonderful bombardment of fans and creatives rocking the Nerd Card. A veritable sea of comics and rpg paraphernalia. I got two tiny d20s. Seeing them made me giddy. They're so cute. Had to snag a couple. >u<

I also met the writer and artist of Seven Years in Darkness, Joseph Schmalke.

Now listen, ever since I came across the first issue of Seven Years in Darkness, I've been on the hunt for new issues as they're released. The art style impresses upon you a great weight, perhaps the enormity of the stakes involved, and the concept beckons like an old jewelry box with secret notes hidden inside.

But for some reason, when Mr Schmalke asked me for my take on the series so far, I went ahead and said, "A little slow, but..." That is not the entirety of what I had to say. I wanted to talk about the mandatory and desperate dedication of the characters and the perverse attraction of the school and its traditions. But, under pressure, I folded like a napkin. I think I may have insulted the guy, which was not my intention.

Still, I bought another one of his works, a graphic novel called The Infernal Pact. Mr Schmalke even signed it. For free. So maybe I didn't insult him too badly. XD He said that he doesn't charge for signatures, that if he ever did start charging for signatures, it would be because he ran out of new ideas.

The Infernal Pact is about a biker gang who made an intentional deal with the devil, and a group of meth addicts who unwittingly made a deal with a lord of Hell called Belphegor. Some grisly deaths later, and the biker gang has it out for the cursed meth addicts, but the meth addicts have bigger concerns; they want to get out from under their deal somehow. It's a gory, irreverent story in which the choices are do or die. So far, I'm very much enjoying it. :)

Excuse me, your coat is unbelievably neat. Could you tell me what the culture is that this is from? The embroidery is gorgeous.

"Culture"

So you ever heard of the fictional country Vulgaria

I finally updated my convention list for this year! If all proceeds according to keikaku (*translator's note: "keikaku" means "plan") I should be in Atlanta and Pittsburgh in May & June as well as my usual August table at Terrificon in CT!

Walt Simonson: "Back in the day, three handmade comics showed up at Marvel. They were written and drawn by an enthusiastic 14-year-old and mailed to the office. Two of them were stories with Marvel characters, or maybe his own characters. I don't remember. The third comic was called The Manhunter, a 16 page story, with a cover and a plain back sheet, all drawn on what was then known as typewriter paper. And because it was Manhunter, somebody in the office passed on to me. Clearly, the kid had looked very carefully at my Manhunter strip and did a remarkable job of emulating it. I loved it. So I wrote him back and we did a trade. I sent him a drawing, and I got to keep the comic."

"This past weekend, Weezie and I went to TerrifiCon, and I knew the kid was going to be there. So I scanned the comic and took it with me to the con. I found the kid and returned the comic to him, thanking him for the 48-year loan of the book. He hadn't seen it since he sent it to Marvel. But that was okay because he grew up to become Dan Jurgens. Of course, he was actually Dan Jurgens back then too. Clearly, he had a fierce determination to do comics, and in the end, he did. Thanks for the book, Dan. I hope you enjoy having it as much as I did."
