The unpublished Wizard 100th Issue Poster
From George Perez
WIZARD 100TH ISSUE POSTER (Errata) (2000)
Wizard
"A couple of years ago WIZARD had asked me to lay out a proposed poster for their 100th issue. The piece would be a montage of 100 characters to be pencilled and inked by various artists but the whole thing was designed in blue pencil by me. That's why each of the characters, from various companies and creators, were numbered, so that the other artists could refer to a key and draw their character where indicated. That particular artwork was never completed, presumably because of the inability to coordinate it with the schedules and availability of many of the artists WIZARD wanted involved."

 MEGACON 2017
(26 May 2017)
Orlando, Florida
MegaCon, the Southeast's largest fan conventions with shows in both
Orlando and Tampa Bay, is proud to announce their Love is Love events
during MegaCon Orlando 2017 raised $18,405.21. The proceeds raised have
been donated to Equality Florida, Florida's civil rights organization
dedicated to securing full equality for Florida's lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community.
MegaCon Orlando came
together with Marc Andreyko's (DC Comics) Love is Love project to host a
weekend of programming to honor the victims of the Pulse nightclub
massacre during MegaCon Orlando in May at the Orange County Convention
Center. The weekend began with a cocktail reception and book signing on
Friday, May 26, which brought together some of the comic industry's top
talent including George Perez, Tom King, Scott Snyder, Gail Simone, Cat
Staggs and Dan Didio, as well as Love is Love project creator Marc
Andreyko. The programming ran throughout the weekend leading up to a
live art auction on Saturday, May 27.
"We are so grateful for the fundraising event
MegaCon hosted supporting our Honor Them With Action campaign that we
launched in the aftermath of Pulse to uproot anti-LGBTQ discrimination
and violence," said Nadine Smith, CEO of Equality Florida. "The
compassion and support shown by MegaCon and the contributors of the Love
is Love comic anthology have been an inspiration."

Pics from the Love is Love event. i was so happy to meet George Perez.
He said "put your stuff down and let's take a proper picture" then he
hugged me. Such a really nice guy. Then I got King to sign some Batman
comics. It was a great event last night plus the money went to a good
cause. Then there was Gail Simone and a bunch of others. Best bit for me
though was when Scott Snyder remembered my name from when I got
autographs earlier that day. He talked at our table and then had a
conversation with Jim Zub between me about his future comic series. Then
Jim Zub drew Aku for me. Really a great night.

Love is Love Auction
MegaCon Orlando is proud to host a weekend of Love is Love
programming on May 25-28. The proceeds will benefit Equality Florida,
Florida’s civil rights leader working for the LGBT community.
Following the Pulse Nightclub Shooting in Orlando, a project in the
comic community named Love is Love began to take shape. A group of more
than 300 comic book creators contributed to the creation of a comic
anthology, the proceeds from which were donated to the victims, the
survivors and their families via Equality FL.
The events at MegaCon Orlando will be continuing in this spirit,
honoring the 49 lives lost by donating all proceeds to Equality Florida,
Florida’s largest civil rights organization. Over 25 contributing
creators will be at the show and more than sixty original comic
creations from the book as well as artwork donated by creators who did
not contribute to the final book will be on the auction block in this
fundraising event.
The artwork will be on display all weekend at MegaCon Orlando and there
is a cocktail reception on Friday, May 26 (tickets are $150 and very
limited), and the actual auction is on Saturday, May 27 and is hosted by
Dan Didio, Co-Publisher - DC Comics.
Come and bid on amazing pieces by notable comic greats including George
Perez, Jock, Gail Simone, Cat Staggs, Rafael Albuquerque, Jose Luis
Garcia Lopez and many more!
PLEASE NOTE ONLINE BIDDING IS AVAILABLE. Details will be made available
shortly. megaconorlando.com/love-is-love
