I am a pooped cartoon-guy. Comic-Con, starting a whole new story arc and a preview for issue # 3 all in the same week. It's Darkwing delerrium around here.
To give you guys a little taste of what's to come, Newsarama is offering a SIX page preview of issue 3 which you can find right here
I'm writing this on my iPhone so I need to keep this short but I couldn't post anything without thanking everyone who made this Comic-Con the best ever. I will post my sketch diary of the convention in the next week or so.
My first shout out ( or whatever it is you kids are saying these days) goes to all you nice people who stopped by the Boom booth and either picked up a copy of The exclusive Darkwing Duck #1 or the regular issue # 2. Both of which sold out before the end of the show. Luckily I was able to fit a few copies down my pants before they were gone. I also really appreciated everyone who visits my blog that stopped by to say hi. It was really great to put faces to the made-up screen names.
It was really great to finally meet and hang with to hang with my Boom colleagues. Writer Ian Brill and editors Chris Burns and Aaron Sparrow were as cool as I hoped. Fellow Boom artist and master of all things Muppet, Amy Mebberson will forever be my best con-buddy. All the other staff and interns were very friendly and accommodating while I was at the booth. Whether I needed a bottle of water or a pillow while I napped under the Muppet trade paperback table, everyone at Boom was a class act.
Speaking of classy guys, I can't think of a better example than Darkwing Duck creator Tad Stones. Whether signing comics at the Boom booth or hosting our sketch panel, the guy was a great sport. Plus the behind-the-scenes stories he had about DW were classic. One day when I'm in a strawberry wine cooler fueled blogging rage, I might share them with you.
Finally a big thank you goes out to my patient wife for
being there for my first big convention on the other side of the table. Hopefully the next convention will be in Italy or Tanzania or someplace cool like that.
First I have to say -- what a preview! You guys just seem to be getting better and better, and you were great to begin with!
ReplyDeleteSecondly, I'm glad you guys had a great time. I'd love to hear the behind the scenes DWD
Sadly, you were the one creator I didn't manage to catch up with in San Diego. :-(
ReplyDeleteWe did pick up the variant though!
Well deserved :) I hope it's only the beginning!
