Terrificon 2019 Review Part 2 - Colleen Doran & More

Terrificon continues to impress me as a convention.

This year in particular seemed crazy as the guest list continued to grow right up to days before the event. It seems crazy to think that a current superstar like Liam Sharp was in the middle of one row because there were so many other mega-stars in the mix.

Truly, this was the biggest con for me for guests. And I felt lucky that I had met so many of the guests at prior cons. There were some guests who I felt okay not meeting because I had met them before. If I had to try and meet everyone on the guest list, I would have gone mad.

Once more, I will say that this is *the* con in the Northeast to head to.

Now last week, I showcased my Dan Jurgens commission.

Today, take a gander at my Colleen Doran.

I missed out on the opportunity to get a Doran commission in Boston several years ago. So this time I was determined to grab one. This is where pre-con legwork helps out. I contacted Doran through social media and set up my dropping off my sketch book on Friday for a full color commission. She preferred the classic Silver Age blue skirt costume which worked for me. And it helped that I was going to be at the con for all three days as it gave her time to do such a great piece.

I love this piece. This is the bright, optimistic, shining Kara of the Silver Age. And the color and depth of color really makes this pop. I was floored when I picked up my book on Sunday and I am still floored looking at it now. Just gorgeous.

Doran was so nice to chat with as well. She signed my JLA 3001 issues, an old Amethyst, and even a couple of issues for buddies who couldn't make it.

As for more Supergirl specific stuff, read on!

I forgot to post Supergirl #25 last week. Dan Jurgens had a story in this 'anniversary' issue so I was glad to grab his signature.

I ran into Steve Orlando again and had him sign some more issues of his run.

I had a brief chat with him about his run. He said she is a tough character to write because she has pockets of fans who like different incarnations. I guess it is hard to unite the fandom.

I grabbed a signature on Electric Warriors, a recent book of his.

And it is always great to run into Paul Kupperberg and get him to sign some Supergirl issues.

I was surprised I hadn't had the Doom Patrol issues signed before!

I also had Kupperberg and Joe Staton sign the Showcase Doom Patrol issues they did together.

One more  Terrificon post next week! One final commission!
