This is the weekend for San Diego’s biggest, and some say most important, convention. Comicon is a celebration of movies and comic books. Devotees come from all over the world to wear the costumes of their favorite comic book and movie characters. Some of them seem almost religious in their devotion to their stories. Others are obviously here for lighthearted fun and frolic. I easily recognized some of them by name. How could I not know Wonder Woman when I saw her... uh, uh, uh, magic lasso and magic bracelets. Most of the others were vaguely familiar, seeming to pop out of some movie I may or may not have seen.
One talented, enterprising young man, Ray Sumser, has created a 6 foot by 9 foot painting which is meant to be a catalog of all the characters expected to appear at Comicon. He is selling prints of his painting. You can find the details on his WEB site:
