Rich's 2019 facilitator list---taking subs Moench, NYCC, BALTIMORE, Rhode Island and LinCon (Gettysburgh)

Heroes Convention was (as always), the best---a success, and everyone who submitted books, I'll be processing and doing paperwork this week.  I think we probably did just about 4 short boxes.  Kelley Jones cancelled, but I'm looking to see if he's got something else coming up.  The multi-signed DETECTIVE COMICS #1000 variants from the Feb/March pre-sale threads are filling up---first variant complete looks like the ARTGERM variant.  Those will be the first ones shipped out.  The biggest will be the Bruce Timm, and that one will fill up at SDCC.

My next three events that I'm taking books for are:

SHORE LEAVE July 12-14th  https://www.shore-leave.com/guests/

This one has a nice eclectic celebrity guest list---- Laura Vandervoort (Smallville), John Glover (Smallville, Batman animated Adventures), Nichelle Nichols (Uhura, Star Trek), Michael Shanks (Stargate, Smallville), Lexa Doig (Andromeda, Stargate SG-1, Smallville) Anson Mount (Star Trek Discovery, Captain Pike & Inhumas: Black Bolt), Erica Durance (Supergirl, Smallville), Aaron Ashmore (Smallville; Jimmy Olsen)---more to be announced---also PETER DAVID---anyone who pre-ordered their HULK #377 from me in a prior thread---Dale Keown signing next week, Peter David s/s at this event.

SAN DIEGO COMICON (SDCC) https://www.comic-con.org/

Books for this show really need to be in hand no less than one week prior to the event.   The guest list on the show's website doesn't represent a fraction of who is attending---unfortunately many publishers don't announce guests until a few weeks prior, and publishers like Marvel and DC he DAY OF.  Keep on top of the artist alley guest list, but staples include Dan Jurgens, Joelle Jones, Artgerm, Bruce Timm, Walt & Louise Simonson, Peter Steigerwald, Bill Sienkiewicz, Neal Adams, Mike Mignola, Joe Quesada, Jim Lee, Frank Cho, Grant Morrison, Alex Sinclair, Scott Williams, Scott Snyder, Ben Edlund, Billy Tucci, Sergio Aragones, Stan Sakai, Kurt Busiek, Eddie Campbell, Wendy & Richard Pini, Marv Wolfman.  I'll keep updating with more guests as I hear of whom the publishers are bringing.

Two special guests this year at SDCC include JOHN ROMITA JR and JOSH MIDDLETON!!!!!   Keep in mind, Romita Jr. appearances are scarce, and Middleton hasn't done a show in over 10 years.

TERRIFICON Aug. 9-11th https://www.terrificon.com/2019-comic-creator-guests.html

Guests include Steranko, George Perez, Marv Wolfman, Jim Starlin, Ron Lim, Joe Rubinstein, J. Michael Straczynski, Alan Davis, Brian Azzarello, Chris Claremont,  Todd Nauck, Paul Kupperberg, Tom King, Tim Truman, Paul Gulacy, Tom Grummett, Dan Brereton, Jose Delbo, Kyle Higgins, Michael Cho, Dave Johnson, Jerry Ordway, Jae Lee, Darrick Robinson, John Cassaday, Greg Hildebrandt, Dan Jurgens, Howard Chaykin, Billy Dee Williams, Val Kilmer, Robert Wuhl, Larry Kenney, Tony Todd, John Barrowman, John Wesley Shipp, many more.  Great show.

My 2020 convention schedule is coming together----URL below to the new list.  That being said, as I continue to pull the current con season together, a good rule of thumb for all my regulars (as well as new customers), is I'm pretty consistent.  Feel free to refer back to the 2019 schedule for a list of what I pretty much do annually, and PM me with any questions.

I'll be adding some new shows this year as well and possibly one abroad, hopefully either somewhere in Italy or Spain.
