San Diego Comic Con 2001 : T.H.I.S.D.I.C.

Yes, the 2001 San Diego Comic Con (aka ComicCon International) was truly the year of the 'Totally Hardcore Intercontinental San Diego Invasion Corps'... or T.H.I.S.D.I.C. for short!! Really, just a bunch of chaps who all met courtesy of the fabulous DC Comics Message boards. Check it out:

Stephen (aka The Wesman) and John Ross, hangin' tough.

P. Gr with Judd Winnick. Judd started out on 'The Real World' and now writes a bunch of comics.

King Mob and The Wesman. This whole thing might not have happened if it wasn't for the DC Comics message boards and a mutual interest in the Powerpuff Girls.

My pal Nate taking a leak behind a planter at the top of the Trolley parking structure. Anarchy!!

Having a pint with Steve Dillon at 'The Field', an Irish pub in the Gaslamp. The guy was there drinking Guiness every day after the Con.

Dropping John off at the airport. We'd be crying if we weren't so drunk.

Riding the Trolley... from left to right: John Ross, Mo, Todd, me and Paul (aka P. Gr). Shortly thereafter we went drinking, a common occurence at this year's ComicCon!

The Wesman chilling out with longtime pals Joe Quesada and Stan Lee. Wes was giving them advice on the next X-Men movie.

The ladies just couldn't keep their hands off of us... until we mentioned we were into comic books. Actually, the Hooter's girls were really cool and we all pretended we were important writers, publishers, etc in town for the ComicCon to promote our work.

Later, we were joined by Dave Gibbons (The Watchmen) for yet more beer.

More fun at the Field, and The Wesman's in this one with inker extrordinaire James Hodgkins (second from left). Much drinking was done!

I don't even know what to say about this one! Don't ask The Wesman or me to recall the sordid details of Mr. Gr's behavior at the airport.



T.H.I.S.D.I.C. will one day return, mightier than ever!
