WonderCon 2012: Day 1

This is the first (and maybe the only) time WonderCon will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center instead of San Francisco's Moscone Center. No on-site parking was available by the time we got there, so we had to drive miles away to the Anaheim Angels Stadium and still pay $10 to park and then take a shuttle back to the convention center.
When we arrived, it was not clear where registration area was and the on-site personnel didn't know either -- scary. Things looked up considerably when we found it and were not only whisked through, but we got 6 free Guest passes without having to show any evidence of guests. So we have several extra free guest passes if anyone is interested!
Prism Comics has primo real estate at booth 200, on the aisle and right next to Marvel. One of the volunteers is an animator who's going to try his hand at animating a "Jayson" story ("Jayson's Christmas Party") from "Jayson: Best of the 90s." If all goes well, we should have a short film to debut at Bent-Con in December (just in time for Christmas) and post on YouTube. Stay tuned!
Traffic and sales were slow but steady. I sold books to several people who were not familiar with "Jayson" before. One fan at a time, people!

I also checked in with Dan Parent, creator of Archie Comics' gay character Kevin Keller, to get the latest scoop from Archie. In addition to a planning a new fantasy wedding story between Archie and Valerie, and second mini-series featuring KISS, Dan informed me that Archie is planning something else huge that will be announced shortly!
