Wizard Chicago Comic Con Day 2 Pics

by Brad Douglas

Alex Saviuk upside down kiss commission. I love how he personalized it to me and the Crawlspace.

My first commission and he hit it out of the park.

These were the coolest little brothers. They wore these for Halloween last year.

X-23, Miles Spidey, Storm who my wife says isn’t a girl and a female Gambit.

Awesome Rogue. I didn’t recognize her, but she was the Mary Jane who was kissing Tony Stark the previous day.

Avery Brooks and Scott Bakula signing autographs.

Holly Marie Combs from Charmed. Very cool gal.

Mrs. Crawlspace was able to get a Charmed double autograph.

Lou Forigno was signing autographs and wearing green pants. Mrs. Crawlspace says they should be purple.

The Captains panel with Avery Brooks, William Shatner and Scott Bakula. It’s a crappy pic and I missed Shatner in the pic.

I love how Marvel is expanding stuff for ladies.

These are necklaces. They cut up old comics and make pendents out of them. Yeah I cringed a bit, but they’re cool.

This little girl was kinda scared of me, but her mom and dad were all about taking a picture for the website.

I had to pick up Ava this very cool Spider-Girl doll. I’d never seen it before.

Another fun day at the Chicago Comic Con. Mrs. Crawlspace went to a couple fun panels. The first was with Sam Tremmel from True Blood. He plays Sam Merlott. The ladies love him. We also hit the Captains panel and along with 500+ folks we saw William Shatner, Avery Brooks and Scott Bakula.

I picked up my commission from Alex Saviuk who pencils the Sunday Spider-Man newspaper strips and penciled Web of Spider-Man for years. He’s one of my favorite artists and he killed it with the upside down kiss commission.
We also were able to get a signed picture with Holly Marie Combs and Brian Krause from Charmed. It’s my step-daughter’s favorite show and she’ll love the pic.

Looks like you have had a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing the pics.

I’m pretty sure that Storm is really RuPaul.

First Bailey scares little boys and now Brad is scaring little girls. That is a cool Spider-Girl outfit she has. Hope I can find some for my daughters as Halloween approaches.

Awesome commission, Brad! Would be nice to see a high resolution scan of that.

And wow, I can’t imagine cutting up panels and using them for pendants. Just…*shudders*. If I was there, I’d definitely buy some of them, though.
