The insider scoop on the ever-expanding Emerald City Comicon
Its already-substantial lineup of comic-book artists and writers is gaining mass with other luminaries who range from beloved to worshiped among the fans.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Finally, one ballooning 5-year-old that doesn't need a diet intervention or its indulgent parents slapped around: The Emerald City Comicon.
It's growing from last year's husky 6,200 attendees to a plus-size 8,000 expected at the Qwest Field Event Center this year. And its already-substantial lineup of comic-book artists and writers is gaining mass with other luminaries who may not even be able to make the cut on "Dancing with the Stars," but range from beloved to worshiped among the fans. For instance: Margot "Lois Lane" Kidder and Peter "Chewbacca" Mayhew, and "Feedback," the guy who won the "Who Wants To Be A Superhero?" reality show. Well, maybe not so much him.
From the big and small names, national and local, here are a couple of comics on comics:
Ed Brubaker: The writer who killed Captain America. He says the Red Skull did it and he just wrote it, but don't put up with any nonsense.
Mark Bagley: Best known for his long run as the "Ultimate Spider-Man" artist. See a piece of Spidey merchandise, it's probably his work.
Others: Paul Chadwick, "Concrete." Brandon Jerwa, writer, "Battlestar Galactica: Zarek," "Highlander." Clayton Crain, artist, "Ghost Rider." Tim Sale, artist, whose work is used in TV's "Heroes." Jake Black, writer, "TMNT."
