APE IN A CAPE: Comics Pros Who Weren't Jerks
Love Dan!
But one of the nicest nicest sweetest most considerate guys in comics ever? (says a woman married to a comic book creator) Yanick Paquette. Just so nice. The last couple of years, he has chosen to not be a guest at the Montreal Comic Con, but he threw a barbecue at his house, and invited some of the creators to come over so he could meet them, spend time with them and introduce them to other creators who would be at the show. And so thoughtful and lovely.
Actually, I know so few who are actually jerks. Jerks get ignored or not invited back to shows or invited out to the bar after the show…
Agreed. @DanSlott is the nicest person ever.
I was recently reminded of the differences between a person’s online persona and their real-life personality during an online kerfuffle I was pointed to that involved Spider-man writer Dan Slott.
Now, I think very highly of Dan’s writing, and we have had some pleasant email exchanges in the past….

There’d be that time when this redheaded comic writer woman put up with my Aspie!babble for what seemed like ages, then wanted her picture taken with me. That was cool. The Flash guy had a high tolerance for Aspie!babble too ^_^

1996, George Perez came to my local comic shop to do signings/sketches for a donation the Diabetes Association. 3 hours in line I doubled the donation amount and got 10! signings and a sketch of WW he spent more than 10 minutes on. Very nice guy.

I’ve always seem you joke about Dan Slott on your twitter feed, but had no clue what it was about. I don’t actually know his work, but it seems to me like Mr Slott, whatever his interactions with people have been in the past, is learning from it all.

Dan Slott just started chatting with me at a comics shop I frequented when he was just there hanging out. Also, I asked Neal Adams to reach a book for me on the top shelf at the same shop. Then he sat down to sign books and I realized who he was.

Matt Brooker (D’Israeli) is a lovely guy. He drew great sketches for everyone at a convention in Bristol (UK), chatted with people about their favourite comics & films, said lovely things about other artists & admired the comics we brought to sign!

Anytime I get to BS with Pat Gleason. I see him all the time though. His studio is not far from my store and I see him on a regular basis. Terrific guy!

Unfortunately, I’m terribly shy and seeing a writer or artist that I absolutely adore would make me stutter or faint. I seriously regret it, because I was 10 feet away from Michael Turner back in 2004, but I was in a force field of fear. :-(

Maybe he and Dan had a system: guy insults him and then hugs him at the end. Honestly, I’ve heard a lot of people say how much the like Dan at cons.

Larry Hama. I had him draw a character that he has no real connection with but I thought it’d be cool to have something “different” that no one else would have. He was very patient and really cool with me and I feel like a dork in hindsight.
