TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3969 - I'm posting this blog this morning after seeing Barry Ira Geller at the 2013 San Diego Comic Fest. Photo of Barry in the Dealers Room is shown above. Barry also had a panel on Saturday, October 5th, which conflicted with another panel I wanted to see, so I missed Barry's. However, after talking with him at the Dealers Room, I wanted to bring to your attention, his web site and what he is doing. First, let me show you what his panel was about: 10:00am – 11:00am: Working with Jack Kirby, Larger than life: How Jack became my Design General and our work became the Real story behind the film Argo – Barry Ira Geller- Barry Ira Geller talks about the events that were made into the movie Argo, which won the best picture Oscar of 2012. Barry worked with Jack Kirby on designs for a science-fiction theme park based on Roger Zelazny’s Lord of Light and wrote a screenplay based on the novel. The theme park didn’t get built and the movie didn’t get made, but Jack’s designs and Barry’s script were used by the CIA as the cover story to free U.S. hostages from Iran in 1980. Barry will tell us what really happened then, including things were weren’t accurate or fully described in Argo. Panelist: Barry Ira Geller Room: Garden 1. Like I said, I missed this panel... But have read the web site that Barry is working on. Plus I recently viewed the film, Argo, on a DVD rental. Here is the link to LordOfLight.com, which I believe you will be fascinated with! Plus here is a link to the San Diego Comic Fest page on Barry's appearance! My thanks to Barry for sharing his time with me at the 2013 San Diego Comic Fest! ~ Michael
