The Beesting Conspiracy

Might help the fans if I noted where the Comicon was taking place, eh?
Radission Center of New Hampshire 700 Elm Street, Manchester, NH
The show's from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Come on down and buy a copy of $ell-outs (hells, we'll even sign it for ya!), take part in the world's largest jam comic (overseen by the uber-talented Marek Bennett), and buy some back issues from my friend Tim Knowles, late of Comics, Etc. --  Keene's first comics shop, which I miss dearly. OK, I'm not sure Tim's actually going to be there, but he usually is at these shows.
And there's some comics pros on hand, too! Ethan van Sciver (who's doing free sketches, I'm told), Scott Kolins, and many others will be there! 
And you know who else will be there, kids? Bob Almond, who inked most of Christopher Priest's Black Panther! YAY! That'll be another signed book for my wall! (Depending on attendance, I'll try to catch up with van Sciver as well, but I imagine he'll be a big draw, what with having drawn New X-Men and Green Lantern.
If you're looking for me, best to work around the 1-2 p.m. hour, as I'll be sneaking off for lunch with my friend Kristie, who I haven't seen in, oh, 10 years. Should be a good time. Kristie was part of my most excellent staff at The Equinox, editing the "Style" section and knocking out some damn fine pages (and a cover or two). She's offered to help out with future CD designs for The Beesting Conspiracy, bless her. 
Right. The Con. Here:

And it pains me to report that Gene Colan (Tomb of Dracula, Howard the Duck) has been hospitalized for liver failure. Marvel apparently isn't all that interested in helping him out, which is a damn shame. But Clifford Meth (who's still selling Dave Cockrum's personal comics collection to benefit widow Paty) has stepped up to organize a benefit. Check it out:
