Firestorm by Pat Broderick

From the Tampa Comic Book Convention in '04. I knew I was going to this show, but didn't think much of any of the guests on the guest list. My wife says to me, the morning of the show, "Just bring it, just in case."

I love my wife.

So Pat's a last-minute addition to the guest list. I get there before any kind of line starts (still having time to scrounge up the first issue of his Firestorm series from a 50-cent box), ask him to sign the book and ask him for a sketch! Just like that - one of my favorite pieces.
