HEROES CON 2017 REPORT: It was awesome! Okay, that was the short version. To expand a little: Douglas, Gala & I had an awesome time on our annual road trip to the greatest comic show out there, Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC! It was nice seeing old friends, some of which I must have seen every single year in the 20 some years I've been attending the show. I even got to see some of the old friends, such as Michael Munshaw, who I hadn't seen in a really long time. & even after all this time there were some new friends & hopefully new Boogieland readers made at the show. Greetings to anyone who is here for the first time because we met at the big show yesterday. Got some great pictures w/the always awesome cosplayers. It was an added bonus getting to team up w/Douglas on Father's Day to play one of my all time favorite arcade games of the 80s, Gauntlet II! DMC, from the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Rap Group RUN-DMC made a triumphant return for a second year of Heroes Con fun! I think it's awesome that someone from my favorite rap group of all time is a fellow Jimmy Valiant fan & a fellow comics fan. I'm certainly a fan of his DMC comic book. His panel w/his DMC collaborators Amy Chu & Domo Stanton was a very entertaining & informative panel that made me excited for DMC issue 3 & beyond! We gave Douglas $30 to spend at the show & he used $20 of his spending money to buy me a Heroes Con T-shirt for Father's Day. He is such a thoughtful & giving person. I'm so proud to be his father! I'm leaving a whole lot out I'm sure, but you get the idea. I'm really gonna try for two if not all three days next year! Be back this Thurs. for the next Boogieland or Bust comic strip! Thanks for reading! I highly recommend a visit to the real Boogieland in person this Sunday or any Sunday, from 12 noon to 4pm. Admission is free! Click HERE for more info. Take care!
Love this picture of Douglas in his Batman hat, sitting outside of Fuel restaurant, across the street from the Charlotte Convention Center, drawing a Firestorm sketch for me for Father's Day.
