Head Shots Robinson, Fujitani

Oh boy isn't this special! I recently attend the Sequential Art Exhibit in Atlanta and that absolutely increased my appreciation for Jerry Robinson.
So when I saw him at San Diego doing sketches I made a beeline for his table.
So now I had one classic artist doing a classic character. Imagine my delight when after checking his table constantly during my one day at San Diego Bob Fujitani showed up.
Surprisingly he was a bit sheepish when myself and another fan asked him at the same time for a sketch. Both of us asked for Hangman. He said he wasn't sure he could draw the Hangman after so long. I smiled and said, "No problem I brought reference. He did the other person's sketch first and then mine. He apologized several times for not having any ink. But I told him I was thrilled to have him do the character for me.
I thanked Bob several times and then left. But the best part for me was later in the day as I walked back for another futile attempt to get close to the Colan table ( those pesky fans :} ) there was a line of fans waiting for sketches and Bob was knocking out those Hangman sketches. He seemed surprised by the attention and affection. But I think Roy Thomas's excellent article a few months back in Alter Ego opened a few eyes including mine.
Enjoy!
