Emerald City Comic Con

[Kelly Sue]

TABLE M-06

Come in and go STRAIGHT BACK.

We’ve got lots of stuff with us. CASANOVA, FIVE FISTS, OSBORN, CASTLE, IRON MAN omnibii and the IRON FIST omnibus and THOR books so on and so forth. Even a couple Spanish edition CASANOVA: LUXURIA volumes for any Cass superfans that might show up.

I didn’t get my copies of AVARITIA #3 before I left. There’s a snowball’s chance they’ll show tomorrow but it looks grim. Both trades and AVARITIA #1 and #2 are on-hand though, so you can get caught up.

Anyway. Tons of stuff. And when we’re not at the stuff BELOW, that’s where we’ll be.

FRACTION
Super Addicted: Dealing With Addiction In A Four Color World
Room: 3AB
Time: 2:00 - 3:00


Eisner Award-Winning Comic Book writer Matt Fraction (Casanova, Iron Man) and University of Oregon Professor and Comics Scholar Ben Saunders (Do The Gods Wear Capes?) will engage in a fascinating discussion about the representation of alcoholism and drug addiction in American superhero comics.

The discussion will include a survey of some historical “high points” (so to speak) in superhero comic-book history, including the 1960s Amazing Spider-Man comics in which Harry Osborn has a bad trip on LSD (famously denied approval by the Comics Code Authority); Speedy’s junkie phase in Green Lantern/Green Arrow; the “hallucinogenic” sequences in Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing; and of course, Iron Man’s various struggles with alcoholism.

In addition to what Fraction posted, I’ve got a signing with Phil Noto for GHOST at Dark Horse (#702) at 1pm on Sunday. Our book’s not out yet, so they’ve put together a FREE PRINT for us to sign! Come by and get you one.

Oh! Oh! And at some point today, I should have unofficial Captain Marvel buttons to give out. Follow me on twitter — @kellysue — and I’ll let you know when they arrive!

I wish I could go. Hopefully next year. I'm on the east coast right now but I'm moving out to LA over the summer. Namely between Heroes Con and San Diego, the only two cons I'm making it to this year. That's going to be a super busy couple of weeks.

Oh, and I totally want to go to Morrison Con. I imagine they will be handing out LSD and leather body suits at the door.
