The second day of Wondercon was busy with some great artists and a panel with some epic annuncements. One of the highlights of a con for me is to gring Hero Initiative books. The latest is the Superman 100 Project especially considering the upcoming James Gunn film. It is fun to look up the various artists who contributed artwork to the book. Norm Rapmund drew a full color Superman in heroic pose! Dustin Nguyen has a boyish Superman with blue and red colors! There is a section with wraparound covers to have full horizontal images. This is a chance to have artwork of a favorite character, get some of them signed, and most important is you value creators’ artwork, this helps them when they are in need with health care and other costs. Check out 100 Project books and other merch at: https://www.heroinitiative.org/
Denys Cowan had a sketch of a powerful Superman in the Superman 100 Project! I had also brought along an issue of his series Dominque Laveau: Voodoo Child. It was written by Selwyn Hinds and follows Domnique Levau working to rebuild Tremé after Hurricane Katrina. A supernatural creature, a Loup Garou, has killed her fellow students and now hunts her! It is also available as a trade paperback collecting the seven issue series. One of the interesting panels at Wondercon was Tarzan’s Creator Celebrates 150 Years! It featured the Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. personnel, James Sullos, president, Cathy Wilbanks, vice president of operations, and Christopher Paul Carey, vice presiddent of operations, and Wolf Larson, head of ERB Entertainment!
Pocket Universe Productions announced that Ian McDiarmid has joined the cast of John Carter of Mars: The Audio Series. He plays the Man in the Atmosphere Factory who reveals secrets of Barsoom to John Carter. Also at the panel was the Woola stuffie which was based on artwork by John Coleman Burroughs, the son of Edgar Rice Burroughs, ten legs of furry adorableness! The OverPower card game which had a Kickstarter campaign is going to have tournaments in August! The Edgar Rice Burroughs double playmat was revealed with artwork by Joe Jusko! One of the sets is Edgar Rice Burroughs and the World Legends. Also announced is the never before published Autobiography of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
