[Groop] Sergio is the man!

[royalslik at aol.com]

 I live in NYC and with my 2-year-old (cheers Dennis!) it's really hard for me to get to San Diego, impossible really. 

I've never met Sergio and he is the one guy in the world that would be very meaningful to me to meet.

If he comes to the east coast, be it boston or nyc, etc. in the future I will do what I have to to make it out and meet the man. I will be that guy who travels all the way to shake his hand and then not want to do anything at the con besides talk to him and stand nearby creeping him out (j/k ... or am I?). He is such a special guy and has had such a huge impact on me I really really look forward to finally meeting him some day and expressing just how important he has been to me without sounding like a total goof.

I was a horrible reader growing up and his comic books were just beautiful, the stories, drawings, and most importantly the ability for me to fully enjoy them without having to even read the words by Mark. Of course I read them but Sergio's style allows you to understand most of the story if not all without even reading one word.

I assume he is not going to be in Boston?

Oh, and I just ordered one poster.

Best,
Anil

I haven't decided if I'm going to Boston next week. Is anyone beside George (I 
assume he'll be there)? 

Also, I recently picked up a Siege poster. It's in a cheap frame, and has tape 
around the edge. It is flat. I will take it out and ship in roll tube. Anybody, 
interested?

jumps out at you due to the type of paper that was used.  I think it's more than 
a fair price, especially compared to some of the MAD stuff I've picked up for 
you in the past.

there is the original art in his two portfolios ranging from $150 to $2000, plus 
you can commission him to do something overnight.  And other stuff like hats and 
magnets that typically are only availble at cons, but which the Groop has been 
able to get.

that is his drawing.  Plus he is the most charming and interesting man I have 
ever met.  And you will always get some special attention if you tell him you 
are a member of the Groop.

he plans to go to more cons.  He'll be in Boston is less than two weeks!!  If I 
can find a cheap plane ticket, I'LL go 3,000 miles to get there!!  And if I was 
in Pennsylvania it would be a no-brainer!
