    Ken Penders will be at the San Diego Comic Con

    Posted by Ken Penders on July 06, 2005 at 18:01:36:

    Yes, it's that time again, and like clockwork, I'll be there, along with Macklin's drawing of Queen Sally and Julie-Su from M;25YL. (You're going to be there as well, right, Macklin? ;-)

    I'll be seated at Table JJ-2 in Artists Alley, so don't be shy. I'll be signing autographs, looking at portfolios, doing sketches, the same ol' same ol'. And yes, I'll have back issues available.

    As for the original art collectors among you, the key new piece available this year is the complete art to the 12-page story THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UNKNOWN: PROTOTYPE from SONIC #146 which Steven Butler and I putting up for auction. The starting price for this puppy will be $1000.

    I'll be there from Wednesday Preview night until early Sunday afternoon, after which I generally close up shop and enjoy the last two or three hours walking the show with my family.

    As usual, there will be all sorts of surprises and attractions throughout the convention, and I even believe Sega may have a presence in one form or another at the show. I'll have more details when they become available.

    See you at the show.

    Mike Pellerito Answers Fans Questions

    A couple of things to keep in mind when reading:

    1) Mike answered these just before Memorial Day weekend.
    2) He asked me to delay releasing them because the board went down due to the EzBoard attack.
    3) If you rather just get the original Word file (or a text version I made up quickly if you don't have Word), go here.
    4) As the Mobius Forum is back up, his responses make up the rest of the post.
