    Wizard World Chicago Photos

    For my birthday this year I went to a Comic Con - YES!

    We were on our way back from St Paul to Columbus

    Said hi to Art - that man had a line around the corner for sketches!

    My kids and wife ran out of steam but had fun.

    We decided to have dinner in the hotel -Who did we get seated next to? none other than the Incredible Hulk himself. He shook Eleanor's hand and said hi to us. We did not ask him for photos or autographs because it is just plain rude during someone's dinner.

    I talked to Gil Girard for a bit - he says he is getting a comic like Adam West's form the same publisher. Also siad hi to LeVar Burton chatted briefly with Mike Grell. Passed on all the other "celebrities"

    We wore costumes that I made - of course

    pictures

    the costume contest was run POORLY by the diffuser from Stan Lee's show

          Batgirl was very attractive and the female Joker looked pretty tasty, too! Thanks so much for sharing with us. I would've loved to have gone, but----maybe next year...!
          sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

                  I only know a few of the people in the photos through facebook. I had never met any personally before.

                  I made the Robin, Batmite, Alicia Silverstone Batgirl and the Yvonne Craig Batgirl outfits.

                  and I agree with Hector - Batgirl is Hot.

                    Dude, you look great as John Stewart.
                    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                      I can't wait to see that outfit at next year's Mego Meet! You and the family look like you're having a blast.

                      My favourite pic is the meeting of the two Batmites. Absolutely precious.

                            I forgot to say that one of the guys that wanted a pic of Batmite looked familiar.

                            I asked hey are you Mark Huckabone?

                            Yes.
                            talked very briefly and moved on.


                            I also saw Megos a couple other places.

                            . These were OK priced for condition.

                            Later in the day when we said the kids could buy something Eleanor insisted on one of these (as nostalgic as I am, I didn't feel like having a second mint condition Batman for 40 or 50 bucks was a wise choice).
