New York Comic Con 2010: To Buy/Get/Meet List

Gone through maybe 60 names from the artist alley list.

My eyes fucking hurt. More than half these people don't even need to be listed.

You inked a couple indie comics once upon a time? Whoopie.

They need to put the full list online ASAP so I can start sorting out my comics I need to take with me.
Part of my collection is at my parents' home where I'm going back this weekend and I would want to miss on a signature cause I couldn't get the comics in time.

I want to rub Didio's head for good luck

The biggest thing I am noticing now, is a lot of the creators being doubled, and already having stuff signed by them I forgot about or that I have a comic signed by another person who worked on that comic, so I need to remember to bring the one I have signed already.

It's proving to be a shit load of checking.

I'll post my list of who did what when I finish.

Not if he has a sense of humor. Of course, being on Stargate probably makes him lose one.

My comic collection is still relatively small so I don't have much in the way of wanting things to be signed, but I guess I'll still pull the odd book out before Con time to get it signed.

I imagine if I collected all the Vertigo/Indy titles I had in singles rather than trades, I'd be packing a ton of books for signature every year though.

Tragic Angelus · Post by **Tragic Angelus** » Tue Aug 24, 2010 9:40 am

Just curious, how much of a pain does it get to bring the books you want signed while also trying to find and pick up new books and trades and sketches? How big of a bag do most of you (or just Cam) carry around to hold everything?

Cinar and Manapul would be two high up on my list, as Cinar's on Legion of Superheroes now, and Manapul's Adventure Comics and Flash have been great work.

Normally I buy them all whenever Arn tells me who it is, except for the big ones, or ones could be costly.

Last year I brought about 12, which was stuff like V For Vendetta, or specific issues I knew I really wanted signed.

This year I'll be bringing about 30, going to try and get them all before the show to take some of the running around stress off.

Honestly, not that hard to carry, and after the friday, I'd say over half are signed and staying in the hotel room.

The stuff we buy, absolutes, dollar bin issues, trades, are a much bigger bitch that brining single issues to get signed.

Last year I got 50 comics signed, but bought about 150.

And this year, I have only maybe 20 comics I want to buy over 3 shows in the next 8 weeks, so by the time NYCC comes around I might not even really be buying anything.

I carry a standard sized messanger bag, the other guys carry back-packs.

I don't think we've ever really had trouble. Sometimes at the end of the day though, I am carry a shitload of comics in a plastic bag after raiding the dollar bins before we leave.

They key is just to buy some of thus stuff on the way out.

Tragic Angelus · Post by **Tragic Angelus** » Tue Aug 24, 2010 1:12 pm

Doesn't sound too bad then yeah. And I figured buying on the way out would be the best bet, but yeah, buying upwards of 150 issues could be a pain depending on how much you got each day.

I figured a bag like that would work. I'm looking to finally hit up a bigger size Con sometime next year, post graduation, so I'm going to try planning now. Though a lot of it will be based on other things.

I carry a standard sized messenger bag and I usually don't bring more than a dozen books with me to get signed, if that at all. In fact a few times I had so few books, Stocky let me put them in his bag.

Arn is the sketch junkie. He almost beat the shit out of Oliver Coipel for not giving him as many sketches as he wanted.

Tragic Angelus · Post by **Tragic Angelus** » Thu Aug 26, 2010 8:23 pm

haha yeah I remember that. My old boss at my LCS said he started carrying a mini note pad/autograph style book that he had both artists and writers sign. I looked through it, and it's very small. To be honest, I have wallets that are bigger I think, though not as thick. But he said do to the smaller size, he can often get a quick head sketch on the page since it's no big deal and wont take up a huge amount of time for the creator, and that they did most of them for free. It's nothing you can really hang up and frame unless you took the book apart and put it in a multi frame thing, but it was a neat and quick way to get them at a fast paced Con he said, which also let him get tons of autographs on the go (and I know that's what some of you guys have taken to do).

I did stare and marvel at his Johns Signature though... It was beautiful!

Mr Wallstreet · Post by **Mr Wallstreet** » Thu Aug 26, 2010 8:35 pm

It's pretty crazy, people will bring boxes & boxes of comics with them to get signed. Sometimes they'll drop a stack of comics in front of a writer for him to sign and you can almost see the look of horror on a writer/artists face. I always feel thats going a bit overboard; bombarding an artist with a dozen books to sign.

On a related note, how long did stare at & marvel at my picture with Johns? How did it feel to know that I was within lovemaking distance of him? And the story of how we met up with him was pretty funny. After Johns had finished a rather lengthly signing session (the line to which was very long and none of us waited on) we saw him leaving his booth and followed him. Wulf stopped him & asked if he could get an autograph, which he happily obliged him with, after which he posed with me for a pic. So you see, it really doesn't pay to wait on line or follow the rules.

Tragic Angelus · Post by **Tragic Angelus** » Thu Aug 26, 2010 8:42 pm

I won't lie... I creep those photos of Johns almost once every 1 or 2 months. My jealousy knows no bounds from those days.

And yeah, I hear he's always around the cons, and doesn't like go hide after booth signings or panels, but literally goes out on the floor to shop and the like, and he's pretty personable then, but I'd feel bad bugging him while he's trying to buy stuff like I am. Tho I'd probably just stutter when I met him. No joke.

Another of my friends who's met him said that Johns has come of as rather 'weird' on more than one occasion when he's talked to him or gotten autographs, and I asked if it was because he was maybe being botherd, and he said that no, he was just kind of an odd guy to talk to here or there. Did you guys ever get that from him the few times you've met/gotten pics from him or anything?

... am not looking forward to the amount of work that's entailed in checking the artist/writer list against what I already have signed and what I might want to get signed.

Urrrrrrrrrrrghh.

I did it already.

It was okay, but mine is already on an excel sheet, so just searched by name.

There are a lot of fucking doubles though.
