Founder of SDCC dies

Wed Nov 4, 2009, 7:58 PM
a bummer, I did not know him but I am very greatful for what he did.

This is from the article- I did not write this....
Founder of San Diego Comic-Con dies at 76

SAN DIEGO – Sheldon Dorf, who founded the world famous Comic-Con International comic book convention, has died. He was 76.

A longtime friend, Greg Koudoulian, says the Ocean Beach resident died at a San Diego hospital on Tuesday from kidney failure. He had diabetes and had been hospitalized for about a year.

Dorf, a freelance artist and comic strip letterer, founded Comic-Con in San Diego in 1970 after moving from Detroit.

Today, the convention draws 125,000 fans a year and is a major gathering for comic book fans, artists, writers and movie stars.

Koudoulian says Dorf was friends with comic greats such as Marvel artist Jack Kirby and "Peanuts" creator Charles Schulz. He says Dorf was also instrumental in helping budding artists find audiences.

WEEEE!!! I got the comiiiics! :excited:
They're so AWESOME! :love:

Thank you very very much! I really squeed to see the sig and the nice sketches on the opening page! X3

And the whole feeling of it is just...WOOOOOOT! ^o^
It is so much better to get it in my hands than just having it on the screen. TTwTT

Haha sorry to spam you but I was sooo happy to get it! :hug:
Keep up the awesome work - I wanna be as professional as you in comic-making and publish my works too! =3

Art is only 5% talent and 95% sweat, work, frustration and tears
it just comes down to how bad you want it that's all

Haha if you want then I can't say no. :D
Good, I can't stop myself anyway. XD

So I LOOOVE the graphics - shows me new heights in panel design and lineart styles. I overly enjoy the thick and thin lines' rhythm and also the pattern of black and white shapes. ;w; :heart:
I really really love the perspective, the detailed background - the whole thing is so full and "whole" and lively! ='D
The lineart is such a feast for the eyes! I several times went through again and again on it just for the visual pleasure. ;P

The characters are also pretty cool, I like how individuals they all are. My fav is Siv I think but also adore Groggle with his crancky character and his care for Bean. :love:
Ravna is cool too (good women characters are rare in stories in my opinion ^^' so especially congrats on her X3)
And the bad guy, ogre is REALLY awesome as well! *w*
I love how he talks in rhymes all the time. And in a way I REALLY like him and have the feeling that he is originally not even THAT bad, cruel figure... But maybe it's just me and my sillyness. ^^'

Another thing I'm excited about is the language you used - I truely enjoy the great way of talking, the text has such an awesome mood! WOW
Even though I sometimes don't get it because I suppose it is some formel term or something I still get the main thing and love the "archaic" feeling it gives!

And I'm getting more and more curious about what bean has to do with the whole thing - everybody seems to know him and his role in the "history" except him. o.o

So all in all I never read such an entertaining, exciting and unique piece!
From my early childhood I'm in love with fantasy stories and I rarely get some REALLY good one. So I'm overjoyed about your story!
Can't wait to see more! :excited:
