SDCC 2025 — A Little Cosplay, Better Late…
San Diego Comic-Con, July 23-July 27, 2025
SDCC 2025 — A Convention Within A Convention
San Diego Comic-Con, July 23-27, 2025
It was a comic-con of bricks.
Lego bricks to be precise: Lego recreated a detailed version of the convention at its massive booth.
200,000 pieces. 1500 hours to build.
Stunning, and an accurate miniature portrayal of the annual sensory overload that is SDCC. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
Hey Lego — if you do this next year, I’m the one in a black t-shirt, holding an oversized bag, and wandering in a somewhat dazed and confused manner.
Of course, since that describes a chunk of the attendees, who’s to say I’m not already actually in the “San Diego Lego-Con?”
I’ll bring a magnifying glass next time.
SDCC 2025— Enter Galactus
San Diego, July 24, 2025
Once again, another San Diego Comic-Con is I the books. I’ll be posting some photos in the next few days, but in the meantime… Here is Galactus entering the main room for the first time on Thursday I believe; 10-12 feet of one of the greatest costume designs and executions I’ve ever seen.

SDCC — Old School (Part 1)
San Diego Comic-Con, July 24-28, 2024
Somehow, another year SDCC has already come and gone, and again, I ask the simple question: How does it go by so quickly?
I can’t answer that, but I can say this: For better or worse, the convention is pretty much back to it’s pre-pandemic magnitude.
Minus, of course, the carpeting. Please, on behalf of feet (and backs) everywhere — bring back the carpeting.
Back When We Was Fab?
In celebration of 50 years of the creation comic book specialty distribution market, Milton Griepp of ICV2 is featuring a series of interviews with early “pioneers” in the business. Yesterday, my interview (video and print) appeared. If you’ve got some down time (Ok, if you’re bored with pretty much everything else on-line at the moment), please join me down the rabbit hole.
Good timing on the publication of the interviews; Today is the first day of San Diego Comicon, and although I won’t be behind a table, and it won’t be as musty,I will indeed be celebrating more than 50 years of contributions to the popular entertainment arts (Topps, IDW Publishing, Activision, et al) in one media format or another.
Teenage Greg (photo is October 1975, at Phil Seuling’s monthly Comic Book Marketplace show in New York City) would be very amused, if not startled.
Long, strange trip indeed.

SDCC 2023 — See You There?
I’ll be attending the convention all four (five, really) days this week. As always, feel free to reach out — or track me down primarily in the original art pavilion.
Plus, I’m appearing on two panels:
Games: Pioneers of 1990s Gaming Animation
As advancements in computer animation technology take video game development to ever-more impressive heights, ASIFA-Hollywood will look back at the early days with these pioneers of video game animation. Actor and writer John Omohundro (Bravest Warriors, Tokyo Revengers) will go back in time with Kevin VanHook(Bloodshot, Valiant Comics), Greg L. Goldstein (CEO, Four Color Arts, formerly Activision, Acclaim, IDW Publishing), E. Daniel Arey (Creative Director at Niantic, VisionArey Entertainment), and other animators and game developers to explore the challenges and celebrate the accomplishments of classic video games, such as “Myst” and “Turok: Dinosaur Hunter.”
Friday, 7/21/23, 4:30PM – 5:30PM, Room 24ABC
Nothing Topps Dinosaurs Attack! Cards
In 1988 Topps released a dinosaur-themed card series that sacrificed scientific accuracy for over-the-top action, violence, and gore. Fans of B-movies and dinosaurs were never the same! Series creator Gary Gerani (writer, film historian), Greg Goldstein (IDW Publishing, Topps), and Matt Corrigan (the Launchpad Podcast) discuss their favorite cards from this memorable set while Dr. Ashley Poust (paleontologist for San Diego Natural History Museum) separates fact from fiction. Matt and Greg will also show off original art produced for the series 35 years ago!
Saturday 7/22/23 7:30pm – 8:30pm Room 29CD
Lots of friends and colleagues appearing throughout the convention, but I would like to specifically point out that my pal Beau Smith is a Comic-Con Special Guest this year. His spotlight panel on Sunday, hosted by another pal, Ted Adams, is must-attend event!
