Anina & Paul at the COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL JULY 2005 We had an exhilarating and exhausting time at the annual event. This year is the fifth anniversary of Boilerplate, who co-stars in our latest graphic novel—a big hit at our booth. Once again we gorged on fine fare at Panevino and Cafe Sevilla. Here's a gallery of snapshots.   |

 Anina chats with Jill Thompson in the background, while in the foreground Kieron Dwyer and Brian Azzarello tell their versions of the classic joke "The Aristocrats".  Matt Hollingsworth shows his pick-up technique: wear a condom around your neck with documents proclaiming you're STD-free, then show your nipple. Works every time.  Matt's antics bring out the paparazzi. This moment covered by a Nikon 35mm film camera, Paul's Canon 7MP digital camera, and two cell phone cameras. Below: After the con closes on Sunday, it's a race to pack up the floor and booth displays so that we can all go to the "Dead Dog" party. |

Sunday night at Cafe Sevilla Our annual tradition in which we wind down and get the lowdown on the show from our best con-pal Heidi MacDonald, seen below with Anina. Right: Paul with Peter Kuper outside Sevilla, under the giant conquistador.  After dinner it's off to Bob Chapman's "Dead Dog" party, where we hobnob with the staggering survivors of the show.
