Wondercon 2009 is comming...

In honor of Wondercon 2009 coming to town I thought I'd post some cool comic book images from some of my favorite artist, like Steve Ditko' Mysterio to the left. I have not been to a comic convention in 10 years and I'm going to this one to recruit artists for my company, so it should prove to be very interesting. I heard that it has changed drastically since the 90's. I'm looking forward to it.


See if you can guess the names of the artists who created the artwork below?

OK, so how did you do? Could you name all the artists? You get an official "noprize" if you could. Maybe I'll post a legend someday. In the meantime, to keep your spirits up, I think Captain Kirk needs a hug...

Until we meet again, farewell.

A Legend Passes

If you were born in the 1960's and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area then the chances are that, when you were a child, every Saturday night at 11pm you and your siblings sat in a dark room in front of an old fashioned television set and watched Creature Features with Bob Wilkins.

It was something we all talked about on the school yard playground and one of those things everyone did together and shared. During his tenure as a "Horror Show Host", Mr. Wilkins shared his dry wit and uncanny taste for low budget horror with all of us.

For any of you, like me, who ended up entering the entertainment industry Mr. Wilkins was the first to really expose us to science fiction and horror before Star Wars was released.

In a yellow rocking chair, with a big cheap cigar and by the light of a waxy skull candle, every Saturday he entertained us, exposed us to some true classic horror and science fiction, some really bad movies, and sometimes movies that scared us half to death (remember Night of the Living Dead?).

I will always look back on those days with fondness, and I thank Mr. Wilkins for his contributions to helping local film makers have a venue and entertaining me.

On January 7, 2009, Mr. Bob Wilkins passed away from complications due to Alzheimer's disease.

Thank you sir for all you have done, and may you rest in peace.

WATCH HORROR FILMS; KEEP AMERICA STRONG!
