John Lustig at Comic-Con
Yippee! I’m attending this week’s San Diego Comic-Con after all.
Plus 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!” –John Lustig

When I got my first newspaper job, I was not only a reporter. I was also a photographer.
For me, darkroom work was tedious. It took hours. And hours. And sometimes more hours to get things the way I wanted them. (And sometimes not even then!)
Plus, I usually did it in the evening—too busy during the day!—when all I wanted was to go home.
And then there was the time I got chemicals in one of my eyes! Arggh!!!
So I was happy to get out of photography when I started doing comics. Of course, I now spend hours and hours every week working in Photoshop. But, hey! No icky chemicals—so I’m happy!
