San Diego Comic Con AD 2010
Arvid makes a triumphant return to the San Diego comic-con this year. My esteemed friends at Radical Publishing are putting me up, and to show my gratitude I'll be peeling them grapes and fanning them with ostrich feathers. Other than that, here's where I'll be, and when:
Thursday, July 22nd
10:30 – 11:30 :: Radical Comics, booth 3735
12:00 – 1:00 :: Dark Horse Comics, booth 2615
2:00 – 3:00 :: Radical Comics panel*, room 32AB
*Followed by a press conference, just like before an MMA card, minus the impending violence!
Friday, July 23rd
11:00 – 12:00 :: Radical Comics, booth 3735
Saturday, July 24th
1:00 – 2:00 :: Radical Comics*, booth 3735
*With Joseph Kosinski, director of TRON: Legacy.
Sunday, July 25th
3:00 – 4:00 :: Dynamite Comics panel, room 32AB
I'm working on a short illustrated science fiction novel, Oblivion, with Joseph Kosinski through Radical. Joe and his assistant par excellence Emily have been fantastic to work with, and I'm really excited to present Oblivion to the world. We'll have a preview ready at San Diego, so stop by the Radical booth, pick one up, and say "hi". It will be nice to see you!
Here's Radical's complete signing schedule – Oblivion is just one of lots of exciting things going on with them.
clicky-clicky!

Hi Arvid-
I just wrote most of a comment to you and then I managed to make it disappear (so if you get a partial comment before this, it was a mistake).
Moving on — it was a real pleaure to get to meet you at the Dynamite panel at Comic Con!!!
I was very much impressed by your enthusiastic attitude and by the plans for the Warlord of Mars.
I knew nothing about you before the panel and so I did some reaseach regarding you afterwards and got a lot more impressed by you.
Interestingly — as I was driving home — I was thinking about you, and your Warlord of Mars comic, and about how cool it would be to incorporate in to a comic the colors and visual scenery that I imagined when I read what I think was a Clark Ashton Smith story about an astronaut on Mercury.
I rarely think of Clark Ashton Smith, so it sort of amazed me to find out how highly you think of him.
It may help boost readership of your Warlord of Mars comic, if its release is announced at ERBzine at: http://www.erbzine.com/
I look forward to reading Warlord of Mars and maybe communicating with you again some time.

Scot! Always glad to meet a fellow Scotsman. I really hope you like our adaptation of Princess of Mars; the stories are very near and dear to my heart. I will definitely drop a line at erbzine.com; thanks for letting me know!
I really do love Clark Ashton Smith. At the risk of sounding silly, I firmly believe he’s one of the great undiscovered stylists of the English language.
Please do drop me a line when/if you get a chance to pick up the Mars comic I’m working on (or for whatever reason!); my email is arvid@rexmundi.net. I don’t always respond quickly, but I do respond eventually.
