Phoenix Con, Lucca Con

Well, second day in and the Phoenix Con is massively cos-play, and T-V star focused, with emphasis in the COS-PLAY.
Cos-play is big here, and comics is NOT big.
Here's hoping Saturday and Sunday will bring the true comic fans in to say hello.
Neal.

Phoenix con-Lucca con

On to Phoenix,

Well, everyone was 100% right.
Big Wow was an artist's convention. not that it wasn't everything else, but yes indeed, it was great for artists and our fans.
On to Phoenix. We've never been there.  I hear it's great.
And I've prepared a bunch of NEW ART for the occasion.
Phoenix,....COME ON DOWN and say hello.

Your friend,
Neal Adams

Big Wow and Phoenix

Here we are in San Jose at the Big Wow convention. Everybody says it’s a true artist and comic book convention. Very little show biz, lots of comics, comics, comics. If you pre-ordered, hopefully I’ll see you tomorrow morning. If you didn’t pre-order yet, next week we’ll be at the Phoenix Comicon. If you can’t make it to Phoenix, order your piece with Jason here at Continuity, and he will get it to you. If you happen to be flying between San Jose and Phoenix, I’ll hand it out the window to you.

You know what this is like? It’s like being with the traveling circus, going from one city to the next. I hope we’ll see you soon.

Ottawa Comiccon May 10-12

Wow! A whole 2 weeks between conventions.

At Calgary, we sold 6 pieces of art and a couple of dozen commissions. Boy was I busy! I still have a couple I have to send to folks. If you want to have your commission brought to you at Ottawa Comiccon, it would be really smart to order beforehand.

We had a great time in Calgary, and there were a lot of happy folks there. We expect to have an even better time in Ottawa. This is an absolutely great convention. It's never been better. You folks in Ottawa, we will be seeing you with bells on.

Stuff I can't talk about, AGAIN.

Interesting pre-convention sketches sit on my desk, just under my sketch for a very special cover that I can talk about soon.I have also just inked the cover for the last chapter of the first half of the "Blood" saga.

Blood has confronted the first of his true enemies, and his response is very nasty indeed. Is Blood a good guy or a bad guy? Well I can tell you two things about it. First he's dead, and second, as a result he's gotten even nastier than ever before.

I wish I could tell you more about exactly what I'm doing. I'm working on a short story for DC Comics, and I've been forbidden to talk about it, and I'm very anxious to talk about it. Oh well, it'll be soon enough.

How 'bout this. One of the pre-convention sketches requested by a very adventurous fan, has the predator, battling an otherwise famous "Jungle Man". Okay I'm being too obvious.

Is this enough for today?
