An Expo and a Con
http://cincinnaticomicexpo.com
If you’re a comics and pop culture fan in the Midwest this weekend, you should probably head for downtown Cincinnati for the 4th Annual Cincinnati Comics Expo. Scores of major players from modern comics will be in attendance along with several somewhat legendary creators from more classic times including Scott Shaw! (with his Oddball Comics presentations) and the great Bronze Age penciler Rich Buckler! Also in attendance will be a whole big bunch of media celebs, only some of whom are seen below.

Then, next weekend, if you have any money left, head East to Maryland for the annual Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention where you’ll find various celebs who once appeared in comic books in connection with classic TV series (Robert Loggia, Johnny Crawford, Larry Storch) and, of course, one celeb who once stole a classic TV series based on a comic book from its stars-Catwoman Julie Newmar! Newmar also appeared, as old fogies will recall, in the stage and film versions of the LI’L ABNER musical.
