Heroescon is a huge and very fun convention. One of the reasons
Heroes rises above many other national cons is that their focus is on
comics. Not movies. Not television. Not games. Comics. Dealers,
creators, fans – we’re all there out of our love for comics.
Another great aspect of Heroescon is the enormous
guest list!
There are tons of cool folks lined up to attend. Be sure to check out
their site for a full listing, but here are two of the guests that I
can’t wait to meet:
Roger Landridge – cartoonist currently producing one of the best books on the racks, The Muppet Show
Those guys are just my personal picks. There are
tons of others to float your boat, including, but no limited to:
Brian Michael Bendis (only con appearance this year I believe)
George Perez
Mark Bagley
Frank Cho
Adam Hughes
David Mack
Chris Claremont
Ed Brubaker
Eric Powell
Herb Trimpe
Mark Waid
In addition to the many dealers and creators on hand, Heroescon will
also feature booths from DC Comics, Marvel, Boom! Studios, AdHouse, Top
Shelf, and SCAD. There will also be many interesting
panels to attend.
I will be in the small press section sharing a table with Mitch
Rogers, an independent comic writer/artist who just self-published
The Bogre.
Mitch is a stand-up guy and his new book should be right up your alley
if you’re a horror fan. You may have seen his recent ads in
Rue Morgue magazine. His book streets this week and is available through
Haven Distributors. We will be at table
SP-435 as outlined below:
I’ll have the following new merchandise available at our table:
Heroescon Sketchbook 2009 (limited to 30 copies, sketched, signed & numbered)
GLOOMY ROOMIES issue #3
Handmade, wooden zombie eyeball keychains
Handmade, wooden Gus key caddies (large)
Handmade, wooden Desi key caddies (large)
Handmade, wooden Unlife Is Good key caddies (small)
Framed original art
As well as my standard show stock of:
GLOOMY ROOMIES issue #1
GLOOMY ROOMIES issue #2 (limited quantities, more on the way)
GLOOMY ROOMIES button pack
Unlife Is Good clear vinyl stickers
Unlife Is Good t-shirts
In addition, I'll have an "instant fan pack" available at a huge
discount that includes all 3 comic books, a button pack, a framed piece
of original art, a GLOOMY ROOMIES magnet, and 5 Unlife Is Good
stickers. I will also be giving away postcards and stickers while they
last.
I hope to see you at Heroescon this weekend!
