R.I.P. Stan Lee

I knew this day would come, but I was still not prepared. Stan was a huge part of my childhood. Thank you Mr. Lee for your contribution to the pop culture world (especially the Incredible Hulk). You will be greatly missed.

I met Stan "The Man" Lee at the Pittsburgh Comicon in 1996. I had him sign a trading card for me. He also signed my program, but I'm not sure where that is at the moment.

EXCELSIOR!!!

Meeting GWAR

My son and I met GWAR at the Pittsburgh Comicon back in 2000. They did a live panel about the special effects and what goes into putting on a GWAR stage show. It was pretty cool. At their booth you could put on an actual GWAR costume and have your picture taken. They also walked around the floor in full costume. Rest in peace Dave 'Oderus Urungus' Brockie. Here's the photos I took of them --

GWAR

This isn't really Halloween, but we are wearing costumes.

GWAR was at the 2000 Pittsburgh Comicon and my son and I had our pictures taken wearing some of their stage-worn costumes. They smelled bad.

1980 issue of The Hulk magazine autographed by artist Joe Jusko.

Superfreeks cards by artist RAK.

Colorist Tom Smith (above) and artist Neil Vokes and writer Bob Tinnell (below). All three are members of The Universal Monster Army. If you are a fan of classic monster movies and all the toys that go with them, I suggest you join this group. Neil and Bob are the creators of several horror comics, such as The Black Forest, which I bought from them and hope to read soon.

The End!
