Looking forward to attending the Motor City Con on Friday, May 18. They are usually way less crowded on Friday and can get some quality time with the comic book artists and vendors. The highlights for me will be to get my 1970's print signed by Neal Adams. Other guests that I plan to check out and get something from is John Cassiday, Frank Quitely, Keith Giffin, Jae Lee, to name a few. Do you guys have any show experiences that you want to share about the last 4 artists that I mentioned or what to expect? I already know about Neal Adams being that I had him do a sketch and sign some prints in the past. But the other artists, I have not dealt with in the past. If any one else plans on attending, maybe we can meet up and talk comic stuff.  |

| I was also wondering about placement of the signature. You can see that there is already a signature on the print but it is from the print and not real. Any thought? |

| Alternately, have him sign over the old sig in a soft pointed, black acid free pen. Or, have him sign either above or below the printed sig. |

| I definitely will be attending but Saturday not Friday. I will try to take some pictures to share with everyone. I am not a huge autograph guy, but I do enjoy checking out the local talent in artists alley. If you like fantasy novels I recommend you look up a lady named E D E Bell. She is always there and usually has a new book out. Definitely recommend them if you are into fantasy. | ||

| I am into comic books and comic art. For the big shows I prefer to get the art over the comics. | ||

| Sweet. I usually go to pick up cheap stuff and generally hang out and have fun. If there’s a celebrity or creator that I want to talk to I will do so if the line isn’t too long. The con is always a good time. I’v Been a pretty regular attendant for decades, since before they even called it the motor city con. My only complaint is that the number of actual comic book dealers is so diminished from the peak years of the early 90s. | ||

| I wouldn't worry too much about where the print gets signed. Neal is, in my experience, very conscience about signature placement and will find an open area where it will look good. | ||

| Jae Lee is very cool. I watched him draw and chatted with him for about 20-25 minutes at Lexington Comic Con. His drawing style is very surreal and unique and I asked him how it evolved. His response was, “I dunno, it just kind of happened. I wouldn’t make a very good teacher.” He was drawing a very cool Black Bolt, on the spot, with no reference photos or anything. Very cool. | ||

| @BrianGreensnips - he didn’t do anything for me, no. He charges about what you’d expect; something like $200 for a detailed bust on a blank sketch cover. | ||

| @CHUNKBOX I agree the lineup is a let down. That’s why I am only going on Sunday. Just makes me look forward to GRCC and Michigan Comic Con later this year | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by CHUNKBOXHave you had a chance to look at the post " New to your collection 3". I will be bringing some really cool prints with me to the show. As another board member, I am willing to give you a nice deal on some of the prints. They are really sweet. But you would want to bring a holder or some flat cardboard to put them in. A lot of them are pristine for being 42 years old. They are basically file copies. Here are the artists. Bernie Wrightson Neal Adams Mike Kaluta Steve Hickman & Alex Nino. I do have signed copies of the Mike Kaluta prints. If anyone else is interested pm me. Thanks, Brian |

| @BrianGreensnips Kevin Eastman, Michael Golden, Tony Isabella, and Arvell Jones are probably the biggest names. Looking at getting the first appearance of Misty Knight for Tony Isabella and Arvell Jones sigs. I am taking 4 comics to Motor City to be signed by Simon Bisley so I can also get Kevin’s at GRCC |

| I know but it would be easier just to get his and Tony’s signatures at one time at GRCC. Especially if I decide to get them graded Also my wife has a table at GRCC so I need something to do when not selling |

| They need to make invisible ink pens so it doesn't deface the item, but you can maybe still see it with a black light. | ||

| I might go to both of them this year. I know Mike Grell has been at the GRCC in the past. I would like to get something signed or sketched by him. Big fan of his Warlord and Green Arrow work. | ||
