At this link are my photos from the first day of the Baltimore Comic-Con.

I have pictures of Sergio at his table, including him signing one of

the lithos I bought.  I also have a picture of the sketch he made for

me in my sketchbook, his authograph in the 25th Anniversary issue, and

one of litho autographs.  The lithos come presigned but he added to

it.  I hope to take pictures at his panel today.

I have photos - a few of Sergio, plus one of a piece he did for the

art auction.



I wanted to write up a few notes right away.



His presentation was at Noon today and he was great.  He went through

his history and I won't go into that.

I asked about his Five Decades book that is coming out in October.  He

said that he didn't want a Completely Mad set as he is still working.

If the Five Decades book does well, they'll probably do another one

with more selections over the years.  I asked him after the panel

whether they might do a Completely Mad 60s book or 70s book and he was

against that.  I asked him about whether they might do a collection of

his pocket books such as Viva Mad and so forth.  He said he owns that

material completely and he might consider doing something with those.

He does not want to saturate the market, though.



He said that he is inking issue #2 of Groo vs Conan.  Also, if you

were watching Futurama last week, he made an appearance as a head

there.



The piece he had at the art auction did not get up to the threshold

amount ($1000).  If my photo came out I'll have a link to that in

another email.



Besides the 4 lithos, and the Free Comic Day Print, I also bought a

set of three Groo magnets.  He probably won't be back to Baltimore

next year, but maybe the next year or the one after that again.
