After waking up at 4:15 a.m. East Coast time, driving 100 miles to Dulles Airport, flying to San Diego, wandering the never-ending exhibit hall of Comic-Con International for hours, and then hitting the Random House and IGN parties in the evening, I’m wiped out, much too exhausted to fully caption the many photos I took today<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But I figure I should make some<\/i> noise to prove that I was actually at the con today. So here’s a photo of me with Larry Lieber, co-winner of this year’s Bill Finger Award (which he shares this year with the late Archie Goodwin, a former boss of mine). He was the first scripter of stories about Iron Man and Thor, and wrote many of Marvel’s beloved pre-superhero monster tales, such as “Fing Fang Foom.” <\/p>\n

And, oh, by the way, he also happens to be the younger brother of Stan Lee, yet another former boss of mine.<\/p>\n

One of my fondest memories of Larry is being in attendance with him at a party at Tony Isabella’s penthouse apartment on top of the Hotel Edison in (I think) 1975), at which he and Tony and I ran back and forth across the rooftop bellowing “New York, New York,” from the musical On the Town<\/i>. I call it bellowing because I dare not call it singing.<\/p>\n

Anyone who wishes more con reportage right now can click on the link above, but you’ll have to forgive me for the lack of captioning … I blame the fact that body time, it is now past 2:00 a.m. Friday. If it’s coherency you want, you’d better check back tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
