The 2013 Long Beach Comic Con Runs November 23rd thru 24th!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3959 -     Yesterday I mentioned a comic convention that is happening in Europe, (Malta Comic Con).

Today I'm mentioning that the 5th Annual Long Beach Comic Con will be running November 23rd thru 24th in Long Beach, California!

I've attended all the previous 4 LBCCs plus the 4 LBCC Expos that take place earlier each year.

This comic con reminds of what the San Diego Comic Con used to be before Hollywood invaded it!   It is that good!

So, I'm suggesting that you mark your calendars for this 2013 LBCC!

The Facebook Fan Page is at this link.

The web site for the LBCC is at this link.

Photos from the 1st year's LBCC, (in 2009), can be found at my own Facebook Fan Page at this link.  Stan Lee cut the Opening Day Ribbon!

I'll be updating more on this year's LBCC in the weeks to follow!

The 2013 Malta Comic Con
 
  
 alt=

  

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3958 -     I just received another email from the folks at the Malta Comic Con, telling me of their latest guests that will be appearing.

This will be the 5th year for this comics convention.

You may be thinking... Where's Malta?   And why would they have a comic convention?

Well... Here is where Malta is located at.

Here is the history of Malta.

As to why they have a comic con...  Well, comic cons are now worldwide!

I have watched this convention expand over the last few years, and was amazed at the guests that this con has had in the past.

If you are going to Europe in the near future, you might want to time it with the Malta Comic Con, which runs November 30th to December 1st of 2013.

Here is the link to the Facebook Page for the Malta Comic Con.

Anyone that goes, feel free to let me know how you experienced it, at my own Facebook Fan Page.

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Presents His Take On...
 

Viva Comics!

 
The Opening Reception that took place on September 21st!
 
 
TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3957 -     Last night, Tina, Vinnie & myself attended the event in San Diego called 'Viva Comics!'.
 
It was hosted by cartoonist Batton Lash, at the Artlab Studios location in Normal Heights.
 
So what was this all about?
 
Here's what 'Scoop' said in their online article:
 
"Viva Comics! is a new comics art show opening Saturday, September 21, 2013, in advance of this year’s second annual San Diego Comic Fest, which will be held October 4-5. The show is a follow-up to last year's successful Unmasked! exhibit of comic art, and it celebrates the local comic book and fantasy artists in San Diego.

Curated by writer-aritst Batton Lash (Wolff & Byrd: Counselors of the Macabre) at Artlab Studios, the show’s opening reception is Saturday and it then runs through October 3. Artists featured in the show will also be at Comic Fest."
 
Okay... So  you get what this event was about.  Plus you see that the show runs until October 3rd.  So you still have time to see it!
 
Tina, Vinnie, and myself really enjoyed ourselves at this special reception.  Thanks to Batton Lash for sending us an 'invite' to it!
 
Also... Plus be sure to attend the upcoming San Diego Comic Fest's 2nd year!
 
It should be another good one!

The Final Night of the 2013 Leo Carrillo Film Festival! Starring The Cisco Kid!

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Presents His Take On The...
 

The Final Night of  the 2013 Leo Carrillo Film Festival Season

 
Here's Adventure... Here's Romance... The Cisco Kid!
 
 
TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3956 -     Last night, Tina and I attended the Final Night of the 2013 Leo Carrillo Film Festival.
 
As mentioned in the last review blog, the Leo Carrillo Historic Ranch is celebrating its 10th Anniversary up big with this year's Film Festival.
 
Last night was quite a bit different from the normal presentations shown at this Film Festival.
 
That's because it had Richard Renaldo, son of Duncan Renaldo, as the main feature.
 
Richard and additional guest, Carol Waffel, were on hand to talk about the June 2013 Award given to Duncan Renaldo and Leo Carrillo. 
 
Duncan & Leo were inducted into the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. For induction the actors needed to have made a significant contribution to the perpetuation of Western film, radio or theatre. They must project the traditional Western ideals of honesty, integrity and self-sufficiency. 
 
Richard then gave a presentation on 'The Cisco Kid in Film', a very entertaining & informative narration.
 
The next feature was what appeared to be a 1981 remix of an old 'Cisco Kid' TV episode featuring Duncan & Leo.
 
Then after intermission, was the 1949 feature film, Satan's Cradle, which was presented in black & white.
 
All in all this evening proved to be very satisfying to me. It was the first time that the Leo Carrillo Film Festival was devoted to the 'Cisco Kid' for the evening to my knowledge.
 
I'm really pleased with attending several of the 2013 Leo Carrillo Film Festival evenings this season, including the special Dinner & A Movie Night that kicked off the Season.
 
Oh, and the tie-in to comic books is the Cisco Kid series from Dell Comics. There are 41 issues of this series, as seen at this link.
 
My thanks to Charles Balteria and his staff for a great 2013 Season!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS (GUEST) BLOG #3955 -     A month ago, on August 20th, I posted blog #3934, which was about 'Bring On The Lucha Heroes' - 60 Years of Mexican Masked Wrestlers In Comics!

That was because I attended a special panel at the Latino Comics Expo in Long Beach, California.  The history and pictures presented at the panel were very cool!

Well... This coming October 19th... A special exhibition is being presented in San Diego.  At the Centro Cultural De La Raza at 2004 Park Blvd.

For those of you that have interest in this topic... This could be a special way to spend the day!

More info on the event can be found at the Facebook Fan Page
