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 in at and see... Are members of the collective known as 'The Antidote Trust', (TAT)! Dale Wilson was kind enough to email me the collective's press release which is excerpted below: "Starting this year, The Antidote Trust moves to booth #2806, directly across from Dark Horse Comics, and adjacent to Diamond Comics Distributors and McFarlane Toys. “Although this is our third year exhibiting at Comic-Con, we almost feel that this is the first time fans will be able to spot us in the crowd,” says Dale Wilson, writer/creator of Caffeine Dreams and Butterfly Industrial 2.0. “This new location – right by Entrances C & D – allows our followers and potential new readers to get close and really check out the myriad of comics and products that our creators develop.” In addition, the group follows up last year’s standing-room only presentation with the 2nd annual Antidote Trust Panel, 7:00 – 8:00 pm on Thursday, July 23, in Room 5AB. “The goal of our panel has always been to find others who are interested in creating their own properties and share with them the tricks of the trade we’ve picked up along the way,” says Robert Roach, Glyph Award-winning artist/creator of Menthu and The Roach. “Basically, this is the panel we wish was around when we were starting out. The fact that Comic-Con saw just how big out turnout was last year and supported our move to an even larger showroom makes us feel like we’re on to something.” The Antidote Trust is also sponsoring several celebrity signings, including such comic book legends as Dwayne McDuffie, Tony DeZuniga, Ernie Chan, and other soon-to-be announced guests. “This is our way of giving back to the folks who support independent comics and, at the same time, geeking out a bit ourselves,” admits Andre Owens, creator of Force Galaxia. “It’s fun for guys like Dwayne [McDuffie] and Morrie Turner, who signed in 2007, since they can interact with their fans in a casual, open atmosphere, and it’s great for the fans since they don’t have to wait in a huge Marvel/DC line and can check out some cool indie books in the process.” Notable Events at this year’s Comic-Con for the collective include: The first 100 customers at The Antidote Trust booth #2806 will receive a free TAT Pack – a bundle of coupons, comic samplers, and other freebees. The 2nd Annual Antidote Trust Panel, Thursday, July 23, 7:00 – 8:00 pm, Room 5AB Dwayne McDuffie signings, Friday, July 24, 1:00 – 2:00 pm, Booth #2806, and Saturday, July 25, 1:00 – 2:00 pm, Booth #2806 About The Antidote Trust:
