Comic Con Part 2

Here are some more pix from last Thursday's Con visit. This sign was on a stuffed mannequin with an animal head...I thought it was quite funny. This was spotted at the Slave Labor Graphics (SLG) booth which is an independent comic book company that specializes in offbeat, dark-humoured gothic stuff. I used to buy Roman Dirge's "Lenore - The Cute Little Dead Girl". SLG is also home to "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac" by Jhonen Vazquez.

Here are a few enthusiastic fans. You can see a rather un-buff
looking Aquaman with the black Wonder Woman. Gosh, I
don't know who the woman in the purple mask (Black Canary? Bert's guess) is supposed to be as well as the top hatted person next to her (Miss Majestic?). You can see Batman and some figure in green. Superman, help me out here! Green Lantern? I know, sacrilege. I know I'm wrong! Wait, Bert says it's " The Spectre". All right now....cue the theme for the "Imperial March"...Darth Vader here passing through...Make way for his Imperial Blackness. Man, this formatting sucks! Or is it me who lacks the proper HTML skills? I think this next photo is Voltron. Wait a minute, EXCUUUUUSE ME!!!! It's OPTIMUS PRIME from the TRANSFORMERS. Apparently, he's the head honcho of the Transformers. Geez, I can't help that I never watched this stuff back in junior high. Maybe it's because I wasn't a 12 year old boy! Thanks to Bert for the correction.

Don't look! You'll turn to stone! It's Medusa from "Clash of the Titans"!It's the Ugly Dolls booth...Several new characters were introduced. See the cute Ugly Dolls here. I bought three on Sunday: the very cute OX (pink version), Ice Bat and Target. TC and I will share our new playthings.
Toys on sale....who buys this stuff anyways? You'd be surprised!

On Thursday, the trashbins were overflowing with Ugly Dolls. By Sunday, they were half-filled.

Okay,

The chick in the purple mask is Huntress. She's kinda a "black sheep" of the Batman family.

The top hatted chick is Zatanna. Resident DC Superhero mystic/magician. Was a member of the JLA. Actually in the center of a pretty good miniseries called Identity Crisis. Pick it up Bert and Screg and Thane.
