Being on a budget, I was not able to splurge on many crazy purchases this year. My one big project was to get the official 40th Anniversary HC San Diego Comic-Con book signed by as many people whose work I enjoy as possible. Here are the results of that adventure…




On top of that project, I did make a couple of purchases…most notably, this Bill Sienkiewicz sketch of Elektra:

Also, this nice drawing of Tony Chew (from the book Chew) by Rob Guillory:

I purchased Stan Sakai’s latest volume of Usagi Yojimbo (#23) which had a sketch inside:

He also gave me a remarked bookplate and sketched on two issues that I brought:



Bill Willingham was autographing printed Fables pages:

Robert Kirkman (the writer) signed and sketched in my Walking Dead omnibus:

The Flight crew drew all over my Flight vol. 6:

Mike and Laura Allred signed my copy of the Allred Vault:

Brian Wood drew this sweet sketch!

John K., creator of Ren & Stimpy, drew the 2 characters for me!

And a whole bunch of artists from ZudaComics.com were willing to draw their take on Usagi Yojimbo:






Thanks to everyone who took the time to draw, sign or just talk with me about random stuff again this year. It was fun as usual!
