I’m finally here with a Montreal Comic-Con report! Sorry it took so long – my brain refused to cooperate this week. :-/ It was a perfect little show; not too crowded, but busy enough that we never got bored and Dale the Sketchmeister never looked up from his board (what else is new, right?). Apparently attendance at the event tripled over last year, which is phenomenal! Congrats to Oscar, Elizabeth and Alex doing such a fantastic job. Our warmest thanks for spoiling us rotten, as usual! :-b
 We were seated next to Herb Trimpe and the lovely Patricia once again this year. It was great to see them again. A local photographer named Luc send us this great picture of Dale and Herb. My favourite pic from the week-end. Thanks, Luc! A highlight of the show for me was meeting Darwyn Cooke’s wife Marsha, who’s every bit as wacky as I am (yes, I know, hard to believe there could be two of us, but apparently there are!). We’re BFFs, now.I got my picture taken with Lou Ferrigno… and, well… it wasn’t as exciting as I was anticipating. Maybe I’d been expecting too much. I thought we’d bond over our names (we’re both Lou) or something. But whatever it was that I was expecting, it didn’t happen. I’d post the pic, but I look fat in it, so fogetaboutit, k?  We got to catch up with Geof Isherwood – who was Dale’s very first official connection with the comic book industry – as well as the rest of the cool cats from the Montreal gang. And of course we got to hang with our regulars (Michel, Alain, Pat and Jeremy) and our semi-regulars (Calvin, Colin, Mike, Tate, Auguste). And we met great new folks as well: Tye, Albert, Jean-Sébastien, Dave and Bao. And Kyle, who we’d met in Toronto, finally got the Thor sketch he didn’t get at FanExpo! Even my dear friend Miria dropped by with her son Julien, an artist-in-the-making! As usual, if I’ve forgotten anyone, please let me know and forgive me!Dale’s doing a store signing at Cosmix next week-end (October 3rd, also in Montreal). This is Dale’s first-ever store signing! He decided to do it out of nostalgia, as we used to live right around the corner from that store, and Cosmix is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year! For info, click here. After that, the plan is to take a year off conventions and such event  s. We’ll see how that plan goes, lol! A devoted wife needs to be taken out once in a while, don’t you agree? ;-)Until next time, take care and thanks for your unwavering support! Here are a few more pics and sketches Dale did at the show (I especially love the Rogue and Zatanna sketches!):       |
