Continuing My Series On Creators that will be at the Comic Con International San Diego 2009, AND whom I think You should make a point to stop and see... Is Jon Ascher, who has a graphic novel in development that I have blogged about here before! Jon tells me that he will be in the area known as 'Artists Alley' and invites YOU to stop in during the convention to see him and his past and current works! Jon tells me the following: "I'll be sitting with my stuff in artists alley, selling Tales of Hotrod Horror, art prints and shirts, and previewing some printed Neil books. Neil won't be available for sale but I'll just have a couple dozen to show folks like you and other media and publishers and such, and of course anyone who wants to take a look!". So I definitely urge you to stop by and see Jon at his table! Oh... and you didn't read my previous blog post on 'Neil', Jon's graphic novel? Okay, here's what it's about in a capsule in Jon's own words: "Meet Neil, an ordinary punk, who hit a few bumps in the road... Drugs can do some funny things, and some funny things do happen. But as Neil feels increasingly taunted by the weird twists of his life and everything around him, is he going mad? or is someone, or some thing, out to get him? As his world starts to unravel, the joke stops being funny..." BTW, if you are not one of the 125,000+ persons that are attending this great comic book & pop culture convention this month, then you must take a look at Jason's web site for the graphic novel: http://www.facebook.com/neilgraphicnovelHowever, if you are attending the San Diego Comic Con International later on this month, then please hi-lite on your program map the area known as 'Artists Alley' so you can meet Jon Ascher in person! When the Con informs him of his Table number, I'll try to update this blog post with it! Update 07-13-09: Jon will be at Table #KK-02 ! Please Note: Days and Times of programs / panels / doors opening etc., are subject to change at any convention, so double check that when you get there!
