Motor City Comic Con 2012 - In Review
Michigan's Largest Comic Book and Pop Culture Event since 1989. May 18th - 20th, 2012 Suburban Collection Showplace 46100 Grand River Ave Novi, MI 48374
Linda and I had a fantastic time at the Motor City Comicon last weekend! A well run show by a staff that couldn't be more helpful! It's been many years since we attended so it was great to meet all the comic fans there after such a long absence. I was nailed down to my table most of the time, but in the evenings we spent time with other guests.
We had a nice dinner with Dave Aikins (Dora the Explorer), Andy Bennett (Kolchak, The Phantom), Joe Staton (Dick Tracy) and friends. It was great getting to talk to Joe at length for the first time in many years. At the Motor City party we enjoyed catching up with Mike Grell and had some nice conversations with Hollywood connected people.

At the show I shared the corner with a nice talented artist named Josh Skeel . Said quick hello's to Kyle Hotz, and Billy Tucci.
Also met deviant Nathan F. Jiskra!
Michael L. Peters showed me some terrific yet to be published work. Met nice guy/great artist Jason Pearson for the first time and his rep Michael Alexandropoulos. We spent a lot of time talking to Michael A. as we met on the shuttle from the airport and saw him at the party, etc.  I think he must be great at his job because very personable and entertaining as heck!

-Mike Royer-
After the show we planned to have a drink with Scott Shaw before our ride to the airport, but then we ran into longtime Jack Kirby inker Mike Royer! He was a guest of the show also and I had been dying to meet him. Every time I went to his table he had a crowd around him, but then there he was taking the same car with us all returning to the hotel.
I had to speak up and and say hello and tell him how much his work impacted me.
Better yet, he joined me Scott and Linda for that drink. I could have talked to him for hours but we had to catch our plane.
A great ending to a great weekend!

~FrankRobbins~
One of my very favorite (if not favorite) comic and newspaper strip artists is FrankRobbins!
Frank Robbins' work on his newspaper strip creation "Johnny Hazard", and comic book characters Batman, and the Shadow continue to amaze me.
I wanted to make it easier to share with others a lot of his art so I put together a gallery of pieces gathered on the net, etc. through the years. This gallery is made up of art that he penciled and inked from the 1940's to the 70's. [link]
If you already love Robbins take a look and if you don't know it PLEASE take a look! Enjoy!
