CINCINNATI COMIC EXPO 2021 GUESTS MOVIE

Magazine' for the military, having taken over from his mentor Will Eisner. I did hear what to me is a surprising admission, that his most satisfying work is when he had the contract to do 'P.S. His soft baritone voice was sometimes hard to discern in the panel. I am a latecomer to his work, only recently discovering, through reprints, his large body of work for DC, particularly the heroes of the Silver Age. He had no wares to hawk, rather he had sixty years of comics history there for the asking. Looking like an aged screen idol, the dapper Murphy Anderson sat calmly with his wife and genially signed comics all day. Kudos to him for also overcoming the intolerable noise situation coming over the partition from the gaming room next door. He kept the panel and listeners engaged, expertly dividing questions and time among the three guests. He graciously signed my copy of the 70's paperback 'America at War: The Best of the DC War Comics.' Uslan also shined as the moderator of the panel pictured above. I missed Uslan's keynote address at the con, but heard it was entertaining and informative. This may be the reason Uslan always seems to be smiling.

Uslan is many things to comics - an historian, a professor, and a writer, but he's probably best known as the man who acquired the movie rights to Batman and worked to get a movie made when everyone else thought it was a bad idea. Rounding out the show was a large small press presence, very reminiscent of SPACE.įor me, this show was about the main guests - Michael Uslan, Murphy Anderson, Alan Bellman and Russ Heath. Even a well-known publisher, Moonstone Books, was there with a special Captain Action comic. Some local businesses I saw were new to me, like Lego dealer Cincinnati Bricks. The local dealers were out in force, with half of the Cincinnati-area shops having booth space, as well as a shop down from Dayton. Those types of guests have their place, but an all-comic show was part of the vision con partner Andrew Satterfield told me about earlier.

It was a very comic-centric show, void of the media guests that seem to dominate other shows. Dealers and guests were lined up along the wall on both sides and there was plenty of room between. I think having it in the main concourse of the Cintas Center was a creative idea. We've got it covered.Ī great time seemed to be had by all. Even though Wizard World bought last year's lousy show, there has never been any announcement of when we will see Wizard World Cincinnati. Cincinnati has been notoriously bereft of a decent comic show. The first ever Cincinnati Comic Expo was held last week on September 18th.
