My fellow adventurers: I will be attending WonderCon this weekend as a guest. With me at the show will be letterer/production guru Thomas Mauer and writer Tony DiGerolamo. We’ll be set up at table AA097. In addition, we’ll be hosting this panel:
SATURDAY 5:00-6:00 Nuts & Bolts: How a Comic Is Made—Christian Beranek (Dracula vs. King Arthur), Thomas Mauer (Popgun), and Tony DiGerolamo (The Simpsons) discuss how comic books are put together. From the ground up to the store shelves, these guys are here to answer your questions and share their experiences. Room 204/206
I still owe you guys the next installment of The Year of High Adventure. There is a lot to catch up on, including some acrobatics — both psychical and verbal! So thank you for being patient and see you in San Francisco!
News update from CB:

So far, the only news CB and Ahmet have been allowed to reveal was that they will NOT be doing an adaptation of Condorman, since it’s an adapted work and not owned outright by Disney. This is after tteasing us by mentioning it like eight times each at panels at PA and Baltimore last year…
Those dreams dashed, I’m going with my emergency backup dreams of a manga-style teen comic based on the Medfield College films like The Computer That Wore Tennis Shoes, and a Sword & Sorcery book in the world of Dragonslayer.
