Rest in peace, Ken Cooke

Just going through some more work for the upcoming show - and came across the name of Ken Cooke, a dealer from last year's Merry Comic Book Christmas Con (and brother to artist Darwyn Cooke). For those who don't know, Ken passed away this past March. He was only 48-years-old. This illustration of Ken (by Tony Gray) is from the pages of The Incredible Conduit. Ken, a longtime Chrysler worker, actually became part of a Chrysler story line (inside The Incredible Conduit #2) as his very own self, eventually helping the Conduit defeat the evil Preston Todd and his Hubots. He loved being a comic book hero - as did I (having also appeared in the issue). That's how Ken and I first met, actually, at the issue's release party. Sadly, we were just becoming real life friends upon his untimely passing. Rest in peace, Ken. Sure wish we could have had many more conventions together. This year's Christmas Comic Con won't be the same without you.

Meet creator/artist April Fawler of GlassMonkey Studios' "Apes in the Woods"

 Announcing the FIRST special guest of this year's con - writer/illustrator April Fawler of GlassMonkey Studios Inc.! I'm very proud to have April back for C3-2, as not only was she one of the first to officially support my show last year, but - within mere months of A Merry Comic Book Christmas Con - is now a published pro with the all-ages adventure, "Apes in the Woods." Make a point to stop by and see April's fantastic work at the GlassMonkey Studios table on Dec. 1st - snag an autographed copy or two of "Apes in the Woods" - and heck, why not sit for a fun caricature, just for good measure.
