Thanks, Heidi. Ian of the Comic Timing Podcast over at the Comic Geek Speak forums mentioned you were talking about me so I had to come over and see. I've been taking photos of the San Diego Con since 1989; two years as an official con photographer, which was when this Eisner Awards photo was taken. Today, Tom DeLeon and his team of photographers have so many more panels to cover. All of it goes into the San Diego Comic-Con archives and perhaps one day they will let the public have access to viewing it through a website. Until then, people can only get a glance of the SDCC and comic book's long history by whatever fans manage to post like Alan Light's great 1970s and 1980s SDCC photos on his FLICKR site. Thanks again! Ralph Werner (Atomic99) Wow! Thanks, Heidi. Ian of the Comic Timing Podcast over at the Comic Geek Speak forums mentioned you were talking about me so I had to come over and see.

I had to provide him with a few wet towels to wipe that shaving cream junk off his face. He got a good laugh out of that. I miss him. He was the most easiest go to guy in the biz. ~ Coat The last time I remember seeing Archie alive was when Nick Bertozzi took me over to his office at DC in ‘96 or so and we chatted a bit about the time when I was a volunteer over at San Diego and I had to help out at one of these DC vs. Marvel Trivia bashes and for some reason Archie got smacked in the face with a cream pie for not getting the answer right.

Now when is someone going to write a book about Archie?

Fortunately, Ms. MacDonald was the first among equals, and I am thankful for that. I hope that San Diego and other cons will offer panels where editors can share their experience with others.
