Here's a quick reminder that it's only a little more than a month until this year's WonderCon in San Francisco. If you've been to the San Diego Con but not to WonderCon, think of it this way: It's like the Comic-Con International but small enough that you can walk the entire dealer's room, see a lot of panels and not wait in line for everything…but not so small that you won't have plenty to see, do and buy. It's run by the same folks and, of course, San Francisco is a great city to visit.
I'll be moderating around five panels over its three days. The one that most interests me is that Gerard Jones and I (and maybe one or two other folks) are going to sit down and discuss his book, Men Of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters, and the Birth of the Comic Book. As I said here, I think it's the most important book ever written about comic book history and I believe it's very accurate. There are, however, some points with which I might take issue, and Gerry is being gracious and professional enough to chat about them with me. It's not so much that I think he's wrong about anything in particular but there are a few places where his interpretation of events differs with mine and I thought it would be educational to converse about them.
I'll be posting a list shortly of my other panels. Don't wait for it. Make your plans for WonderCon.
