DescriptionKathy and I made our first appearance at SDCC in 2017. We'd never tried to go to SDCC. There were a variety of reasons, but the difficulty of getting tickets/rooms and the fact that it conflicted with our annual vacation on the banks of the Guadalupe River were the major ones.In 2016, the CBLDF Kickstarter for the book She Changed Comics offered two SDCC pass perks for SDCC 2016. I asked Kathy if she was interested. She was, but neither one of us wanted to change our 2016 plans. So, I wrote to the CBLDF and asked if they could make them for 2017. They contacted the con and the con said, "Yes." I pledged and we were off! I booked a trip on United at a nice fare (we were able to book a year early) and my friend, writer/artist/SDCC exhibitor, Thom Zahler provided my room reservation. Victory! We had no plans for the con; we just wanted to go and see what it was like. A couple of weeks before the show, IDW announced a dinner with Walt and Louise Simonson at SDCC. If we bought tickets, we'd have dinner at Fogo de Chao with Walt and Louise, get the new Beta Ray Bill Artist Edition signed by Walt and stamped with a gold foil seal representing the dinner, a copy of the incentive edition of the Ragnarok Vol. 2 HC which includes a sketch of Ragnarok Thor plus the gold embossed seal, and (best of all) a headshot by Walt of any character that we wished. When we started this dinner idea, I thought I'd pick both pieces. After a few moments of glee, I realized that would be more than rude since Kathy has characters she likes and since she knows Walt. Drat! She decided she wanted a strong woman and we looked a few, e.g., Sif, Big Barda, Hela, and so on, but in the end she decided on Maleficent. Walt crushed it. I think Kathy got the best piece at the dinner. Check out those eyes! Go Kathy! Here's mine:  Social/Sharing |

This is the path less taken, but what a result! Very cool.

I never would have expected Walt drawing Maleficent, but I'm glad your wife requested it! It just shows how good he is!

All were excellent, but this and Fin Fang Foom won the night for me. Congrats!

Not surprised that Walt could handle the Disney style. Magnificent piece!

Pure perfection. A good choice for Walt to tackle with amazing results.
