Photos from this year's Brass City Comic Con at Naugatuck Valley Community College, organized by
Legends of Superheros. Bigger than last year, lots of fun stuff going on in between hunting for good deals on favorite comic books. Proceeds are being donated to
Safe Haven of Greater Waterbury.
First up:
costumes!
 |
| Supergirl and Harley Quinn |
 |
| Superman and Wolverine |
 |
| Spiderman helping Iron Man fly |
 |
| Best cardboard robot costume I've ever seen! |
Some
general shots of the show:
As always, one of the best parts of a convention is getting to meet the creators of comic books.
A few of the artists in attendance:
 |
| David Meikis working on a sketch |
 |
| Henna art! |
Maybe the best part of the show were the
sketch competitions. Each time, one pro artist went up against a fan, with five minutes to draw a given subject. Great fun to watch!
 |
| A fierce competition! |
 |
| Dan Dos Santos' interpretation.... |
 |
| ...and his competition's more opinionated version. |

| Prof. Foster with the happy young artist after the draw-off. |
There were also educational forums. Roger Rautio gave a short presentation about his efforts to create a
Comic Book Hall of Fame. He has sent proposals to five major cities, looking for their collaboration in giving the HoF a home. The cities in the running are
Cleveland, Chicago, NYC, Phoenix, and San Jose. An audience member (not me) suggested he should choose Waterbury. Wouldn't that be cool!

Last but not least, we were treated to
martial arts demonstrations by the
Bond School of Self-Defense.
 |
| A mother-daughter team took turns taking each other down; there were several demonstrations of small kids able to defend themselves against large adults |
