It’s that time of July again. Time when a favored few leave the dark confines of the workaday world to trek to California and join with other like-minded souls in the spirit of fantasy and friendship. Their destination? Only the most exclusive address on the West Coast. If you don’t have a pass or know someone on the inside, you just aren’t getting in. Within its sequestered walls, artists, writers and performers mingle freely with industry bigwigs, while the rest of the world looks on dubiously, muttering: “What’s going on in there?” It’s a place for dressing in costume, for carefree revels, and for gleeful, hedonistoc indulgence. I am speaking of course, of the Bohemian Grove Encampment. But for those of you not attending that, there’s always good ol’ Comic Con. I’m only appearing on Saturday this year, so if you want to say hi or get something signed, please take note of the two places I’ll be that day:
I’m pleased and excited to take part in the BATMAN 75th ANNIVERSARY PANEL on Saturday, July 26th, 4:00 PM on room 6BCF. I’ll be on stage with a number of friends and fine folks from DC Comics and Warner Animation, talking about our favorite hero and answering most any Bat-related questions. Here’s the blurb fresh from the San Diego Comic Con website:
DC Entertainment: Batman 75th Anniversary
Throughout his 75-year history, the Dark Knight has become one of the most popular and widely recognized superheroes in the world. From comics to TV to movies to video games, the World’s Greatest Detective has permeated all entertainment mediums and beyond. Get a look at Batman’s rich history and what the future holds for this pop culture icon with industry titans Kevin Conroy, Paul Dini, Bruce Timm, Ralph Garman, Geoff Johns, Jim Lee, Peter Girardi, and some surprise guests!
Saturday July 26, 2014 4:00pm – 5:00pm
Room 6BCF
Almost immediately after the panel, 5:30 PM, to be exact, I’ll be signing at the DC COMICS BOOTH for an hour, until 6:30. If you want to get your copies of BLACK CANARY & ZATANNA – BLOODSPELL signed, bring them along as this is the ONLY signing I will be doing ANYWHERE this year. (Other things are welcome too of course, statues, DVDS, books, body parts, an oddly popular choice, it turns out). Later this summer I’m going into stealth mode to work on a few big projects, so this is the only con I’ll be hitting for the next couple of years or so.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in San Diego!
