TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3910 - With the 2013 Comic-Con International: San Diego over... It's time to review blog some of the events / publications from this year's show! One of those is the Souvenir Book for 2013, which is something that I review blog at the end of each Comic-Con, (see blog #3681 for last year's review). The front cover features the Sandman, who celebrates his 25th year in 2013. The Sandman series by Neil Gaiman that is! The cover was illustrated by Dave McKean, who was an artist on the 75 issue series. Plus, in addition to a special section in this Souvenir Book on The Sandman’s 25th Anniversary... This year’s book also features coverage—including art and articles by fans and pros from around the world... devoted to the following anniversaries: Superman 75th - Although I must be one of the oldest fans there this year, (or so it seems!), I wasn't there for the start of Superman! LOL! This anniversary is pretty well represented, and should be fun reading for any Superman fan. Avengers 50th - I was there for the start of the Avengers... Sheesh, it has been 50 years now! Good article on this anniversary and illustrations. Eisner Awards 25th - I haven't been to all of the Eisner Awards Ceremonies... But this is a good article about the history of the Awards. TwoMorrows Publishing 20th - WoW! Has it really been 20 years since I first saw John at the SDCC?! Great publishing era going on since he first published Jack Kirby Collector #1! Plus featuring the Anniversaries... There are special spotlight interviews Michael Lovitz (who celebrates his 20th year presenting the Comic Book Law School) and noted comic art and pop culture retailer Bud Plant (who has been exhibiting at Comic-Con for the last 44 years!). Plus there are some other features as well. There is a lot of info in this 224 pager this year! If you weren't able to attend the 2013 Comic-Con, I'll have the Souvenir Book listed for sale at my online comic book shop for you to purchase, as seen at this link. Another well done publication by Gary Sassaman & Jackie Estrada & staff! I give this year's Souvenir Book a Near Mint Minus (NM-) 9.2 for their efforts! ~Michael
