The Hero Business made an appearance at the ComiCONN in Stamford, Connecticut this past Saturday. It was a great local show, only 20 minutes from my house. The organizers did a fantastic job running the show and making all the guests feel welcome. Unfortunately, the pre-Hurricane Irene panic prevented a good number of attendees from stopping by – with MTA shut down at noon and the tri-state area officials limiting road travel.
Still, the show was very successful for us. Sold a buncha books, did a buncha sketches and inducted a few new heroites!
On the downside, the Hurricane also zapped all power here at The Hero Business, so my “Rough Monday” post is now appearing on this “Rough Tuesday” (still without power – posting off-site!)
Without further ado, here’s my ComiCONN sketches…
Here’s Stormer & Kimber from the cartoon “Jem” (it’s a nod to the episode where they form a duet)…
A fan had a sketchbook themed with firefighters…
Here’s Dawn of “Cry For Dawn” fame…
This is a custom hero created by a fan… a sort of “Cosmic Bishop (from the X-Men)”…
A young girl wanted a sketch of a Japanese Girl…
Here’s Ted Kord Blue Beetle (with a lot of Paris Cullens influence…)
Here’s Wally West Kid Flash #1…
Here’s Wally West Kid Flash #2 (take THAT, Dan Didio! :))…
Here’s Huntress, in the Shadow of the Bat….
Thanks, everyone, for stopping by! I would definitely do this show again!

The excellent “Comics Worth Reading” dug up some “webcomics worth reading” at the 2011 Baltimore Comic-Con. Here’s what comic book journalist extraordinaire Joanna Draper Carlson says:
“The Hero Business by Bill Walko. My favorite, because it gives me the feeling of watching The Middleman. Parker is a receptionist at the Hero Business, whose motto is “with great power comes great marketability.” They’re an advertising agency with superheroes as clients, and I liked what I saw so much I bought the print version. (It helped that instead of being asked to commit $20, it was only $5 (in color) but doubles up strips so it still feels substantial.) That was an easy choice once I saw the two demo strips Bill had printed out and visible. They made me laugh, and they were well-drawn — what more did I need? (It was only at home that I realized I’d previously praised Bill’s work at Project Rooftop.) Launched March 2010 and updates weekly.”
Thanks, Johanna!
