ComiCONN Commissions
The Hero Business made an appearance at the ComiCONN in Stamford, Connecticut this past Saturday. It was a great local show, only 20 minutes from my house. The organizers did a fantastic job running the show and making all the guests feel welcome. Unfortunately, the pre-Hurricane Irene panic prevented a good number of attendees from stopping by – with MTA shut down at noon and the tri-state area officials limiting road travel.
Still, the show was very successful for us. Sold a buncha books, did a buncha sketches and inducted a few new heroites!
On the downside, the Hurricane also zapped all power here at The Hero Business, so my “Rough Monday” post is now appearing on this “Rough Tuesday” (still without power – posting off-site!)
Without further ado, here’s my ComiCONN sketches…
Here’s Stormer & Kimber from the cartoon “Jem” (it’s a nod to the episode where they form a duet)…
A fan had a sketchbook themed with firefighters…
Here’s Dawn of “Cry For Dawn” fame…
This is a custom hero created by a fan… a sort of “Cosmic Bishop (from the X-Men)”…
A young girl wanted a sketch of a Japanese Girl…
Here’s Ted Kord Blue Beetle (with a lot of Paris Cullens influence…)
Here’s Wally West Kid Flash #1…
Here’s Wally West Kid Flash #2 (take THAT, Dan Didio! :))…
Here’s Huntress, in the Shadow of the Bat….
Thanks, everyone, for stopping by! I would definitely do this show again!
I agree the show was awesome for the turnout. I loved the size of it overall. It wasn’t saturated with video game and movie crap. It felt very personable and inviting. You really had time to enjoy each table without being too cramped and rushed for space. It allowed all the indie comics to shine and show what they got. Def enjoyed the show.
Great show sketches, Bill! Had to cut out of the show early, otherwise I would have came by and said hi.
Thanks, Tyler! By the time I was able to take a walk around the show, you had left. I actually had a great show despite the impending hurricane. Hope you did, too.
