I met Mike Sekowsky at a speaking engagement talking about his project with Hanna Barbara that I find very interesting while visiting in Los Angeles in 1979 for a hour. Jeff and I are planning on getting together next week to talk about it. This was a private speaking and Jeff at that time was invited to attend and he can bring one guest with him. That's how I met Mike Sekowsky for a few minutes while my friend Jeff was talking to him. I told Mike Sekowsky that I enjoyed his work on the Justice League of America just briefly and my friend Jeff remembers that. I didn't.
I just found that out in an email this morning.

If "met" means said hi and got a book signed, I've met Neil Gaiman and Doug Moench twice (once with Dave McKean and Kelley Jones, respectively.) There don't seem to be too many signings round here, and as for conventions, I don't want to spend the amount of money they want to see the big names.

My wife and I met Neil Adams at last years ECC. Really nice guy.
We bought one of his prints and had a nice chat with him while he sighed it.

I missed out on meeting George Perez, at a Heroes Con; but, did, sort of, meet Keith Giffen, of the Great Darkness Saga. There was a whole group from the Legion books there and a friend and I wee talking to Tom and Mary Bierbaum, when Giffen came over, briefly, to goof around.
I have met Gil Kane, in what was a pleasant experience, as I surprised him with an issue of THUNDER Agents, where he had drawn the cover. He hadn't seen one in years.
I have met Kurt Busiek, whose Marvels and Astro City I consider to be some of the best comics out there.
I did get to meet my artistic hero, Mike Grell, and spend a great deal of time talking to him, Mike Gold and John Ostrander. I have enjoyed Grell's work since I first saw it in back-up stories, in Action Comics. My first Legion comic was a Grell issue and the Warlord was a comic made in heaven, to me, as was Jon Sable. I got to talk to him about his work, the influences of the Brandywine artists (Wyeth and Parrish), adventure movies, Elliott Maggin, Eclipse and James Bond, First Comics' publishing rights, and more. Fun time.
