Another name that might not be familiar to the more superhero-centric among you is Wendy Pini. Along with husband Richard, she has worked on the Elfquest series of comics and prose books for, well, for pretty much forever. Elfquest is an expansive, long-running fantasy series, and the Pinis are recognized as some of the most pleasant folks to chat with at any convention. Stop by and don't be shy asking for help figuring out where to start indulging in the Elfquest saga.
| 1 | Jerry Robinson |
You shouldn't let San Diego Comic-Con pass you by without interacting with a true comic book legend, and who better than Jerry Robinson? He's best known for working with Bob Kane and Bill Finger on, arguably, the greatest comic book character ever invented: Batman. But not only was Robinson a seminal artist on the Dark Knight, he was also credited with creating the greatest comic book villain, the Joker. Then, credited with co-creating the greatest comic book sidekick, Robin. If he's doing sketches, you won't even want to know what the wait is like, but you should at least stop by and tell the guy "thank you."
