WALT SIMONSON FIN FANG FOOM original sketch art from HEROES CON 2012

One of the biggest treats of this year's HEROES CON was the guest appearance of modern master, WALTER SIMONSON. My wife was a REAL sport as we waited from 10:45am to 4:00pm in line until Lousie and Walter arrived. There was quite a line but there were ONLY 9 of us that had stood the whole day hopefully waiting for a sketch. Although he couldn't get to us Friday, he quickly drew a number on our thumbs (my wife and I were #1 & 2 as we were first in line) to receive our sketches the following day.

My wife thought FIN FANG FOOM sounded mighty silly and made her decision. Quite a few BEAT RAY BILLs, THORs, ODINs and even LOKIs floating around but how many WALT SIMONSON FOOMs? Everyone knows Walt doesn't sell his originals so getting such a great piece is a rare treat! One of the kindest gentlemen in comics today.

And let me tell you - Louise is such a kind and gentle soul, at 65, she is still quite a looker.

Besides, what monster collection is complete without a FIN FANG FOOM, eh? MAKE MINE MARVEL!
