PHANTOM OF FEAR CITY #1 (May 1993) Claypool Comics/Boffin Books

Claypool Comics has some fun stuff planned for this year's San Diego Comic-Con. Here's the scoop:

Room 8

Saturday, 5:00 - 6:00 CLAYPOOL COMICS: 10 YEARS WITH THE STARS!
It's the 10th birthday of Claypool Comics, publisher of PETER DAVID's Soulsearchers and Company, the vampire saga Deadbeats, and the sexy, sassy Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. So we're throwing a party featuring Elvira writer KURT BUSIEK (JLA/Avengers), Soulsearchers artists AMANDA CONNER (the notorious The Pro), JOHN HEEBINK (Nick Fury), STEVE LEIALOHA (Fables), and GORDON PURCELL (The Flash), CASSANDRA PETERSON (Elvira herself), and MARK PIERSON, Cassandra's husband and the man who supervises Elvira's appearances in the comics. We'll also have birthday cake, previews of advance art, and gifts for all who attend (while supplies last). GEORGE PEREZ, DAVE COCKRUM (X-Men), and classic Spider-Man artists JIM MOONEY and AL MILGROM have appeared in Claypool's pages, not to mention the first comics work by PAUL DINI (Batman Adventures) and PETER DAVID's first creator-owned comics series. Not many independent publishers have survived the last ten turbulent years, but Claypool's done it in style--so come join the party!
