Gearing up for Comic-Con 2007

The preparations are underway for Gold Eagle to hit the 38th Comic-Con International in San Diego from July 26 to July 29, 2007. Comic-Con utilizes the entire San Diego Convention Center including 460,000 square feet of exhibit space and two floors of meeting space. The original event began in 1970 with 300 attendees in the basement of the US Grant Hotel in downtown San Diego. Last year 123,000 pop culture fans in attendance proved Comic-Con is the largest comic book and pop culture event in the North America.

We'll be giving away free books at our booth as we did last year, entertaining some guests and unveiling Gold Eagle's new ongoing series project premiering January 2008. Watch the blog for more details as they are finalized.

Flashback: Comic-Con San Diego 2006

Last July Comic-Con International topped the record books with 114,000 individual attendees through the doors (not counting the 9,000 or so exhibitors and their staff!). Gold Eagle was there, sharing a booth with sister companies Luna Books and Silhouette Books. We were amazed at the reach that Comic-Con has with it's fans, growing from a comics convention to a full-blown celebration of pop culture. We gave away free books to get the word out about our novels and got to meet many diehard fans young and old. A few free copies of the first Rogue Angel book got into the hands of folks, though we still don't know where the shipment of 1000 copies we planned to give away went to. We figure that some tropical island somewhere has a pile of boxes on it's beach right now. Plans are underway to return to Comic-Con this summer, so watch this space for details as they become available!


This dude didn't want us to change a thing about Deathlands. We promised we wouldn't as long as he wouldn't hurt us.

These kids came back to our booth every day hoping the Rogue Angel books would ship in. We made it up to them by giving them an author-signed copy of Luna's Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder. This photo was taken two seconds before the brother and sister on the left started wrestling for it.
