TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3159:

This is a just a brief blog post about what is happening Tomorrow in Metropolis!

Wait a minute...Did I say 'Metropolis'???

Yes, because there is really a 'Metropolis', in the State of Illinois!

My thanks to Facebook Friend, Sam J. Rizzo, who reminded me about this annual event on Monday.  I met Sam at the 2010 Wizard World Anaheim Comic Con, as pictured above.  Sam runs his SuperboyHomePage.com web site, which you should check out! 

I have blogged about this Superman Celbration a few times before in the recent years, 2008 & 2009, but this year's event almost slipped by me!

Also, I want to mention that I met the man who did the Superman films 'right', since I last blogged about last year's Superman Celebration event. 

That would be Ilya Salkind, Producer of Superman Films I, II, & III!  He and I are pictured above, at his booth, also at the Wizard World Anaheim comic Con.  The folks at Wizard World really know how to bring in media stars!

Ilya's career credits can be seen in his IMDb page.  His bio can been seen in his Wikipedia entry. I found Ilya to be very personable at the con, and am pleased to be his Facebook Friend also.

The Superman Celebration has its' own web site, plus a Facebook Page, and a Facebook Event Page!  Whew!

Is that enough Superman for YOU?!  LOL!

If Not...Then You should check out the 4 Day Event that starts tomorrow!

My thanks again to Sam J. Rizzo for reminding me of this special event!  We are based in San Diego Metro Area, so are not attending this Superman Celebration.

From all of the photos I've seen, it always looks like a lot of fun.  So if you are near that area, check it out this year (or next!).

My thanks also to Ilya Salkind, who proved that a 'man could fly' for me back in 1978! 

A Special Thanks to Esther Chilcut, who introduced me to Ilya Salkind while at the booth at the Wizard World Anaheim!

AND, My thanks again to all of YOU reading this blog and our earlier archived blog posts, now numbering over 3,155 in number!

P.S.  Yeah, that's me in the photo shown to the left, taken at the 1973 San Diego Comic Con that was then located in the Sheraton Hotel on Harbor Island.  Would you believe there was only 1,000+ attendees at that Con?!  Last year, (2009) there was over 126,000 attendees!

I first set up as a 'dealer' at the 1972 SDCC at the El Cortez Hotel. So I've been around comic conventions for a little while, LOL! Tina and I now have an on-line exhibitor table at the first "virtual" comic con titled the "Facebook Comic Con" (FBCC)!  You can find us online and be 'interactive' with us at: Facebook Comic Con | Make It So Marketing's exhibitor table!
 

Nowadays... Our online comic book store carries many different comic book titles from DC Comics, which would of course include Superman at: ComicBooksCircus.com!
