Speaking of the Comic-Con, as I believe I just was: This year, to note the fortieth assemblage, the convention crew has concocted a hardcover book jammed with convention memories — hundreds of photos, old ads, reproductions of past badges, anecdotes, schedules, etc. Gary Sassaman and Jackie Estrada did the heavy lifting and…well, I just got an advance copy and it's a glorious, memory-jogging book for anyone who's ever ventured to one of these events. I haven't crawled through every inch of it yet but what I've gone through has been just about perfect.
And hey, it's worth the price alone just for the wraparound cover by Sergio Aragonés. If you look closely (see the detail I isolated below), you can spot Sergio and me being pedal-cabbed to the con. That's how we usually arrive, except that before I lost all that weight, it took six cyclists to get us there.
I dunno if the book will be available anywhere before the con but that may not matter. You're going to want to purchase your copy at the con. It'll just be more appropriate that way.
