Yesterday I was able to squeeze in about two hours for the first day of the 2009 New York Comic-Con. Partner-in-Crimes Rich Koslowski and Jim Chambers were already roaming the floors–Jim buying books and Rich floating back and forth between the Archie booth–Rich has been illustrating Archie comics for about 15 years, and Top Shelf, a smaller, but solid comics publisher that has put out several of Rich’s books over the years.

On my first day I snapped a few photos and picked up a book or two for my personal collection, but today will be my first all-out day at the con.
But of course, traditions carry on, and last night Rich joined me and Jim for our annual Friday night dinner at Don Giovanni’s for a great Italian meal (Jim and I both had the baked ziti, while Rich devoured a massive plate of seafood and pasta–and half a carafe of red wine!).
I wasn’t quite at the top of my game yesterday, as I had to work most of the day, but I’m rested and feeling good this morning. So Rich and I will be heading out into the city in about an hour, grab a good lunch, do the con, and then see what kind of trouble we can get ourselves into.
To be continued …
