Big Wow Comic Con in San Jose

Elveen · Post by **Elveen** » Mon Apr 28, 2014 10:46:29 am

So is anyone going to Big Wow Comic Con?

I'll be going for my first time in a few weeks.
I've heard thsi show has really grown since Wondercon has moved South.

I'm really looking forward to it.

Small chance. I'll be just getting back from a business trip with 14 hours of jet lag. I really want to go, but I'll probably just hang out with my boys. They aren't yet of comic book age.

Any Valiant artists attending?

I am planning on going for one of the days. I have heard the show has grown by leaps and bounds since Wonder Con moved to Anaheim. Big Wow has tried to step up and fill that vacuum as a big Nor Cal show. The artist list seems decent, some names on there I haven't ever seen at a show or who do very few shows. I am looking forward to that for sure, Mike Zeck anyone?

Zeck is a legend probably best known for his Captain America work, though he has done a ton of covers, mostly for Marvel. He did some Batman covers also. The guys work is iconic, probably his most recognizable stuff is Kraven's Last Hunt in Amazing Spider-Man, Batman 10 nights of the beast covers, most of Marvel Comics Secret Wars & covers (yeah that famous cover to #8 with Spidey in the black costume!), too many GI Joe covers to list and a TON of Captain America covers including one with Deathlok #287, Cap No More #332 and of course Cap Annual #8 probably his most famous work.

I will have that book right out front.

I need to do some research to see what other work he did, I'm sure I have more of his books.

Yes, I've done it the last 2 years. It was actually my first ever show. I like Josh, he's a good dude.
They need to get a "big" guest or 2 to establish themselves.

Yeah he has a ton of books he has done covers for, less where he did the interiors too. Also don't overlook Mark Brooks, he only does one or two West Coast shows a year and his stuff is really solid. If you have any of his stuff I would have it displayed prominently as well.

Here is the link for Zeck's wiki page it has a pretty good list of his works for the big two to make it easy for you.

Hey Elveen,
How was Day 1?

Ramses818 · Post by **Ramses818** » Sun May 18, 2014 1:36:54 am

It appears it was so good he's too tired to check the boards and update us LOL

Elveen · Post by **Elveen** » Mon May 19, 2014 4:16:50 am

It is currently 2:15 in the am on Monday morning.
But I got home safe, so that is good.
I need to wake up in 3 hrs and teach my AP kids ... So that is not so good.

Full report coming.
