What a huge surprise from yesterday's mail. I mailed my comic, LOR, SASE to Mr. Cardy 09-18-2008! Yes, it's been almost four years, I never expected to see it again. He included a signed sketch sheet (he also returned my fan letter). Last year I even had someone get Mr. Cardy to sign the same issue at a comic convention he attended (I knew he rarely went anymore and he is in his 90's, I really wanted this issue signed!). I guess I'll sell the extra. I frame my autographed comics and hang them in my rec room.

Its Free Comic Book Day!!

It was The Avengers Day for me,yesterday.

Second to the Original Superman as best comic movie ever

Avengers was an awesome movie.

Agreed. I went to a midnight showing Thursday night. It was phenominal. I loved every second of it. I'll definitely be going back again this week. I'm working on a big autograph purchase though, so I may have to wait another week or two to see it again. I hope to have something new/exciting to share with you all soon

last weekend was the best weekend ever!
i met Barry Kitson and dined with him on saturday, also we had to pick him up from the airport.
sunday he made an avengers drawing for me and we talked for hours.
in europe he isn't as much appreciated as in America but what he drawed was amazing.
very nice man.
can't wait till next year when he come back

Here is one I got back this week. Jason Latour signed my BPRD comic and did a sketch of Hellboy for me too. I contacted him thru a social networking site.

My first TTM Sketch came in during the week.




Comic Book Men star and veteran of several Kevin Smith movies, Walt Flanagan. He's also a comic artist, having worked on a few independent titles as well as Batman: Cacophony

He also signed and returned 2 4x6 photos. One of himself and the other a Mallrats poster.

So sad that Tony Dezunga and Ernie Chan both died this month.

Where did you try Walt at?

Picked this up about a week ago or so. Adding Stan Lee to it at Philadelphia Comic Con. After then, I'll frame it and enjoy it at home for a while before adding the rest of the cast.

hi
i'm interesting in sending letters to some of my fav artist/writers,any tips
but with me being based in the uk the only in-person i've met was kevin o'neil(ip) (2000ad/league of extraordinary gentlemen),
i don't really wanna risk sending some of my comics and never getting them back
i was wondering were you can get those blank auto cards
i'm not asking for any address
but any help would be great,
thanks

Jon: That Avengers poster is awesome! Your going to Philadelphia Comic Con? Why not add Thor to that poster as well? He will be there. I wish I could start one. I'd love to put together a cast signed poster, but I think the rest of the cast would be next to impossible to get.

Karl: I got mine at theautographcard.com

To get Walf Flanagan, google the address for Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash in Red Bank, NJ.

Mike

Thanks so much Mike. I'm not going, but a friend of mine is and offered to help me out. Stan is charging $55, and Chris Hemsworth is charging $150 to sign anything other than an 8x10. My hours were cut back at work recently so I'm going to have to pass on him for now. But I have a guy that's willing to hunt down the rest of the cast and add them to my poster for between $125-$150 each.

Jealous

Good luck with that piece.

Mike
