This coming weekend, June 5-8, I'm a guest at the Phoenix Comicon in glorious Phoenix, Arizona where the temperatures are not forecast to get much below 106° — and boy, I hope that's Fahrenheit. I get there mid-day Thursday, leave late Sunday and will be hanging around the con most of the time it's open…I guess. All I know is that I will be on five panels…
- An Animated Career: Friday 12:00pm – 1:00pm
- Adapting Cartoon Characters for Comics : Friday 4:30pm – 5:30pm
- Spotlight: Mark Evanier: Saturday 1:30pm – 2:30pm
- Jack Kirby: King of Comic Books: Saturday 6:00pm – 7:00pm
- 30 Years and Counting: Comics Classics in the Modern Age: Sunday 12:00pm – 1:00pm
I've never been to a convention in Phoenix before but folks tell me this is a real good one. I'm looking forward to everything about it except going outside.
