Wish I could have gone to the convention! The list is unbelievable”…Sergio’s work impressed me as a kid, I always wondered how he could draw so small on the corner of the page…LOL!

I know Neil Gaiman is a writer of fabulous fiction, but a cartoonist? News to me, for sure.

@Alan,

I think the intent is probably “comics creators”, which would include Gaiman due to his Sandman work.

Stan Lee – can he draw? I don’t think so, but he used to write quite a bit back in the day… Maybe the title should say, “Comic Creators”, hmm?

Nicola Cuti, co-creator of E-Man and artist of the “Moonchild” underground comix, received the Comic-Con Inkpot Award for career achievement. I covered the story for Comic Book Resources; it can be read here: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=22180

Comic-Con was a blast. Richard Thompson and Stephan Pastis each talked about their work. Jeff Keane made a funny cameo at Stephan’s talk. Lee Salem was at the Uclick booth. And more! Truly an all-star cast this weekend at San Diego.
