here is the press release that is going out:

it briefly mentions some of the things going on at the show including the Valiant re-union..

"Meet the Stars at the March/April Big Apple Convention

Make it to the March/April Big Apple Convention and you'll get in the door and meet the greatest comic creators and media guests on earth.

You want great? How about part 2 of our Frank Miller/Neil Adams panels. This time Neil will interviews Frank and the energy coming from the stage will reach critical mass as two of our greatest creators have a blast talking careers, movies and comics. It happens on Sunday afternoon April 2.

How about America's foremost Master of Horror. George Romero the director/producer of the LIVING DEAD series of movies will be appearing all weekend and will do signings, panels and a couple of real cool events! Living Dead Arise!

Do you dig alternative/underground comix? Two of the greats from the NATIONAL LAMPOON comix section are dropping in for the weekend. Shary Flenniken (TROTS and BONNIE) and Gahan Wilson (NUT!) will make their first NYC convention appearences in decades.

Cutting edge comic creators Kyle Baker, Chiff Chiang, Toby Cypress, Tommy Castillo, Phil Jimenez and Mark Texiera will be here. TOP TEN artist Gene Ha will make his first Big Apple Convention appearence!

Big Apple pays tribute to independent publishers past and present. The first ever East Coast Tribute to Valiant Comics will happen, featuring over twenty five Valiant creators including Howard Simpson, Jim Calafiore, Sean Chen, Mike Bair and Rodney Ramos. There will be lots of surprises. So meet the Valiant creators and insiders as we celebrate one of the great comic companies.

Claypool Comics creators Richard Howell, Al Milgrim and Todd Smith will appear on Saturday to meet with their fans.

From Hollywood we have Elvira "Mistress of the Dark", "Jeannie's" Bill Daily, "Star War's" Peter Mayhew and everyone's favorite Lois Lane Margot Kidder.

NYC's classic film studio TROMA will celebrate 32 years of some of the wildest movies ever made with panels, films and stars.

Events will include a costume contest Saturday with a very special surprise and three days of exciting panels.

At the Big Apple National this past November the Monkee's Peter Tork's appearence was a smash so to keep the Big Apple Convention rockin' the GoGo's Jane Wiedlin will appear."

Margot Kidder........

Someone actually thinks this is a good looking woman....even in her day

....Can you believe Playboy even had her in the mag?

We should find those and burn em ALL

You mean to tell me I missed Peter Tork?

Since that's a press release and all... it might be a good idea to spell Neal Adams correctly.

Remember when they found her hiding behind someone's bushes without her false teeth, like mentally unstable. Man, that was a low point for sure!

I am flying in Thurdsay night and leaving the following Tuesday morning - flights are cheaper when NOT flying on the weekend, and my room is free, so I don't mind...

-slym (is flying into LGA - average $100 cheaper than JFK, 'cos it's not an International Airport)

slym2none · Post by **slym2none** » Sat Mar 18, 2006 1:10 pm

I don't know if I've mentioned this or not already, but is there some sort of "ValiantFan" itinerary for the show we should know about? Also, on svair's suggestion, I still do not have a ticket for this con - has anything come of this yet?

-slym (hopes he doesn't sound impatient)

Again, not trying to sound impatient, it's just the show is looming SO close!

Thanks, BTE - and a big thanks to John for ALL of his trouble. How will we ever repay him???

Thanks John for all your work on this meeting. I was getting a little concerned about not having a "meeting event schedule". I'd hate to show up and miss something, because I couldn't find it! Should I still hold off on buying a ticket to the Con?
Thanks.
