Brandon Routh
To this day, I think Routh’s Superman is underrated, but he took everything that made him appealing as Clark Kent and rolled them even more effectively into his performance as The Atom!
Mike Zeck
Mike Zeck’s art on the Punisher is one of my definitives. But it was also instantly recognizable on the Batman mini “10 Nights of the Beast”
Denny O’Neil
Denny O’Neil is the legendary editor of Batman in the 80’s and 90’s. But more importantly, he was the writer of the Shadow at DC in the 70’s!
Jae Lee
Jae Lee was one of the biggest artists of the 90’s and I was so thrilled that he did some Shadow work- I had to get him on this issue of Masks!
I’m all about the Green Hornet. Loved meeting Hester.
Jackey Neyman Jones
Jackey Neyman Jones is the last survivor of the making of Manos! She signed her memoir for me.
Jon Bogdanove
I know that’s a confusing poster, but it’s a fascinating piece by Superman artist Jon Bogdanove
Barbie Wilde
While I’ve focused mainly on my Hellraiser poster for autographs, over the years, I’ve acquired a few individual items over the years.
Wilde was giving these out as she signed my poster – trying to promote her book.
Tom DeFalco
I’ve got a thing for Spider-Ham so it was one of my great joys to meet his creator, Tom DeFalco
G Tom Mac
If you’re a fan of the Lost Boys, You’ve heard his music! It’s one of the great horror fil soundtracks.
William Messner-Lobes
I can’t decide if it’s his time on Flash, Wonder Woman or JLA that I find most memorable….
Jackson Bostwick
He was my first introduction to Captain Marvel, and I remember lazy Saturday afternoons watching this show.
Nicholas Vance
While I’ve focused mainly on my Hellraiser poster for autographs, over the years, I’ve acquired a few individual items over the years.
Vance slipped me one of these after signing my poster, to give me a heads up on his new film project.
Doug Bradley
While I’ve focused mainly on my Hellraiser poster for autographs, over the years, I’ve acquired a few individual items over the years.
This VHS was on sale at the thrift store for about three dollars. The shopkeep assumed the name on the box belonged to the owner of the tape, not the star.
Comic Creator Autographs fall 2019
A while slew of updates fell into my lap just before NEO Comic Con (review will be up later this week), but I wanted to wait until after the con to make sure a couple of them were still correct. As always, we’re not really going to discuss the pros and cons of comic professionals charging for autographs. There’s plenty of other forums for that. We’re just going to acknowledge the reality of modern convention economics. This is a little something to help you know what to expect when you go to a con so you don’t get blindsided. A lot of artists don’t have autograph charges clearly displayed and frequently con websites either don’t have this information or are asked not to display it. Here’s my current list – in sort-of alphabetical order. It’s not exhaustive by any means, things may change next month or next year. We’ll update and repost from time to time.

George Perez – Free, but he has a ticketing system so get to his table first thing after the show opens or you’ll be stuck in line for HOURS waiting for a spot to open up. Alternatively, if you can deal with not MEETING him, you can buy a print and he’ll sign that and a couple books in between sketches and stuff.
