San Diego Comic-Con

OK, how many of you Wiseman fans are attending the San Diego Comic-Con next week? Anyone?

Well, here's where I implore you to mosey on over to the Fantagraphics table and inquire about Wiseman Dennis reprints. You can politely ask them. Or you can pitifully beg them. Hell, maybe you can just stand around goading and annoying them until they promise you anything just to get rid of you. It's your call.

The idea is to make them aware that there is, in fact, an audience for such reprints. It'd be best to ask for Gary Groth. And if he's not available, just babble to anyone at the table. At the recent New York MOCCA convention, I asked Groth about Wiseman reprints and he said they were "considering it." Turns out Jim Salicrup had been educating him on Wiseman earlier that day. Thanks Jim!

So that's your assignment (if you choose to accept it).

Don't do it for me- do it for Dennis' Uncle Al.
