John Lustig at Comic-Con
I’m attending this week’s San Diego Comic-Con.
And my friend Spencer Brinkerhoff III has graciously offered me space at his Booth #5560. (It’s a corner booth right by the doors between F & G Hall on the first floor–near Artist Alley.)
I’m bringing some Last Kiss goodies as well as a few of the Last Kiss, Marvel & Disney comics I’ve written. But my main reason for being there is to meet readers and fans. So, please come by and say, “Howdy!”
Today’s comic is more Last Kiss fun from Tony Isabella & Diego Jourdan Pereira!

John Lustig at the San Diego Comic-Con
For the first time since 2019, I’m going to San Diego for Comic-Con International. This was a close-to-last-minute decision. Consequently I don’t have ties to any booth or Artist Alley table.
Without that it’ll be hard to meet up with fans. But I’m open to suggestions on good places to meet in that crowded con.
Better yet, if anyone reading this has a booth or table and is willing to host me for an hour or two during the week, let me know. Perhaps we can work something out.

OFFICER: Thanks for helping us re-enact the bank robbery, Ms. La Romp!
MS. LA ROMP: I hope it helps you catch the Stripteasing Bandit! Too many men are going to banks, hoping to get robbed...instead of paying to see my act!
