ME the Con Guy

I can announce now that I have been added to the guest list of Wondercon 2007, which will be held March 2-4 of next year at the Moscone Center South in that city where Tony Bennett left his heart. Even better, they've added two great comic book veteran artists, Gene Colan and Nick Cardy. We don't have programming plans yet but I wouldn't be surprised if I wound up interviewing both of them — maybe individually, maybe collectively — as well as EC/MAD legend Al Feldstein.

If you can't get to San Francisco to see me interview Feldstein or can't wait 'til next March, you can go to the Buckeye State later this month. I'll be chatting with Al at the Mid-Ohio Con, which takes place November 25 and 26 at the Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio. I'll also be interviewing — with the help of the infamous Tony Isabella — Gary Friedrich and Dick Ayers, who did many fine comics (including Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos) for Marvel in the sixties and seventies. Click here for the entire programming schedule.

Hope to see you at one or the other. Considering that the last time I was supposed to be at a Wondercon, I wound up in the hospital instead, I hope to see me at one or the other.
