thought it would be fun to meet him and get a sig. Just a signature on an early xmen book, no witness CGC SS thing. Question: is it a long line (thinking Las Vegas con this summer) for Chris usually? Is it a Stan Lee kinda nightmare?

when I did it 3 years ago,,,,,,, No it wasn't ...... compared to Stan Lee? definitely not... is it a typical wait, yes, but isn't too bad, he's also real nice :) which may make the line take longer lol

He's a cordial and gracious guy at the cons I've seen him attend.  Do yourself a favor and attend his panel(s) if he's doing them.  It'll be well worth your time.  His books were the foundation of my comic consumption from junior high through college.

The times I've seen him the lines were "longish" but not like Stan Lee.  He does take time with each fan which is nice.  I would guess I waited less than 30 mins each time.  I do think he charges a small fee (maybe $5 or soemthing) to sign non-CGC books.  CGC books are more.

Hey Chris!   The consensus is, he really is a terribly nice guy.   Too nice.  He LOVES to talk.  So the lines can take a while to get through.  It's not uncommon for guys like him (and Steranko) to take 10+ minutes per fan telling stories.  It's about patience, I guess.  If you're in his line for a couple hours---I wouldn't be surprised.

Tell him that you love to read his work in trade paperback format!

Exactly! He loves his fans, especially the hard core ones. He is a really nice guy though and loves to talk people's ears off. Not a bad thing unless you don't have the time or patience to wait in line.

I was being sarcastic, he will go on and on about how bad trades are and chastise you for not buying the floppies.  It was kind of funny.
