Roy Thomas, Comic Book Writer... ... Will be a Special Guest at the upcoming San Diego Comic Con International show July 26-29, 2007 ! Roy is recognized as the first fan to make it as a 'Pro' back in 1965. I remember when he first started writing, taking over some of the titles that Stan 'The Man' Lee had to let go as the Marvel Comics line was expanding. Indeed it was Roy 'the Boy' Thomas who pioneered for other fans to break into the business. I especially enjoyed his run on the Avengers, and the Invaders for Marvel. I first met Roy at an earlier SDCC, where pictured to the right, he signed several Fantastic Four Comics for my personal collection. He was fun to talk with, and I enjoyed meeting him in person. It is hard to believe that Roy 'the Boy' is now 66 years of age and supposed to be officially 'retired'!!
