One of the simultaneously exhiliarating and depressing aspects of the comic book medium is the extraordinary level of accessibility of big-shot creators to Joe Fanboy. (Exhiliarating because hey, it’s fantastic that anyone can meet their idols; depressing because this means that even the biggest, best creators on Earth aren’t important enough to warrant handlers and bodyguards and PR flacks and all the other intermediaries that stand between most famous folk and the hoi polloi.)
This ease of access extends to fanGIRLS, too. Witness The Missus’s account of meeting Blankets author Craig Thompson. And by “meeting” I mean–well, read it for yourself. I think she made an impression on the guy.
