John Lustig at Comic-Con
I’m attending this week’s San Diego Comic-Con.
And my friend Spencer Brinkerhoff III has graciously offered me space at his Booth #5560. (It’s a corner booth right by the doors between F & G Hall on the first floor–near Artist Alley.)
I’m bringing some Last Kiss goodies as well as a few of the Last Kiss, Marvel & Disney comics I’ve written. But my main reason for being there is to meet readers and fans. So, please come by and say, “Howdy!”
Today’s comic is more Last Kiss fun from Tony Isabella & Diego Jourdan Pereira!
