Denny ONeil, Larry Hama and Gerry Conway

The biggest highlight I have ever had happen to me happened on Sunday at the ECCC. Denny ONeil had been sick and I had been anxiously watching and waiting for him to show. He was sitting next to Howard Chaykin. I was ready to close my orders and a gentlemen came up with 10 Star Wars #1 books signed by Chaykin. I asked him if ONeil was sitting at the table and he said he was. YES...I immediately got the kid in me to prompt a witness and LILLY (bless her heart and great MOJO) came with me. I first shook his hand and then proceeded to place my books out for him (Starting with my Green Lantern #76 previously signed by Neal Adams. As my Power Man and Iron Fists and ASM were finished my last one was Daredevil #18 (pictured).

This was the moment that everything stood still. He smiled and went inward for a time and began talking (as if it was yesterday) about the significance of the book. He said that this is when Stan Lee gave me the reins on Daredevil. It was very profound as he held his pen staring at the book. I started getting teary and choked up....shook his hand and wiped my eyes. Lilly asked if I wanted a picture with him and at first refused...then said OK. I handed her my phone and WHAT HAPPENS next is just too great to be true. Larry Hama and Gerry Conway were with Denny (seeming to check on him) Denny knew I was moved by his story and I asked him if I could get a picture. He glanced at both friends and then me and ...Well a picture does say a thousand words.

What a gift.
