Comic book legend George Perez attends Texas Comicon in San Antonio

Texas Comicon hosts celebrities and comic book talents at S.A. Shrine Auditorium
Don Poenisch couldn’t have rocked a more appropriate outfit Saturday at
the San Antonio Shrine Auditorium for his first comic book convention.
(excerpt)
Numerous
sequential art talents were also on hand to put the “comic” in Texas
Comicon. The highlight: veteran DC and Marvel Comics artist George
Pérez, who made his first appearance in San Antonio to sign books from
his decades-long career and draw sketches for fans.
“The fan community (here) has been very friendly,” Pérez said. “I’m very
happy. I always rate a convention by the lack of blisters from
twiddling my thumbs.”

George Pérez’s Convention Policy

George Perez writes:
With Texas Comic Con in San Antonio coming up, I want to post my
convention policy in order to formally answer questions I've been asked
the last few weeks. I will try to provide this info before all my shows
so please excuse what will likely be multiple repeats of this post:
George Pérez’s Convention Policy
I always try to set up at a convention one hour before the convention
opens to the general public. This way I am available for sketches,
autographs and photographs for dealers, staff and those with VIP Passes
that allow them early entry. (I really see no point in fans purchasing a
VIP Pass and not having any of the guest artists there to greet them)
All of these early birds are handled on a first come, first served basis.
When the convention floor opens up for those with general admission
tickets, I start handing out about a hundred numbered tickets to the
arriving fans so they don’t have to get on what may already be a long
line.
Fans already at the end of the line (behind the tenth person)
also have the option of taking a ticket and leaving the line to return
later.
The first digit of the ticket indicates what convention day
it is. For a three-day show, the first day’s tickets would be numbered
100 -199, the second day’s 200-299, and so on.
The ticket basically
reserves your place in line once I’ve finished with the early crowd.
If, say, a fan returns from enjoying the show with ticket number 110 and
I’m already serving ticket 125, the returning fan with the lowest
number is always next.
Therefore, a fan with a higher ticket number
like 155 would never be any worse off time wise than if he or she had
waited on line for 54 other fans to be serviced first.
The reason I
use this system is because I personally can’t see spending money to come
to a show just to stand in line for what could be hours. This way, it’s
the fan’s choice whether to wait on line or not.
There is no charge
for the ticket and it entitles you to a sketch (limit one per ticket)
autographs (I set no limit to the number of things I’ll sign, but do
request that fans be considerate of each other) and a photo op.
Sketches are quick headshots for $40 and can be drawn on any surface you
prefer. I will provide my own drawing paper for those who don’t have
their own.
There is no charge for autographs and photos.
Only one ticket per person, but you can get tickets for family members as long as they are there to use them.
Once you’ve used your ticket, you can get another ticket, if any are
still available, and come back later to be served again. You can’t use a
previous day’s ticket on a following day since that would be unfair to
those who may only have one-day passes that following day.
On each
day, if I finish with all the numbered tickets, I will then serve any
arriving fans on a first come, first served basis.
Unless there is an unavoidable call of nature, I will remain at my table until the end of each convention day.
I hope this helps everyone understand how I work and that it helps you all enjoy the convention experience better.
Thank you.

CONVENTION SCHEDULE FOR 2015 (so far)
Now that I'm working on a regular series again, I will be keeping my
convention schedule relatively light next year, but these are NY
scheduled shows so far. I've deliberately kept January, March and May
clear for some personal stuff so I'm not likely to book anything for
those months.. There are a few places I have never visited before, so
I'm looking forward to meeting up with some new faces there.
