Bill Sienkiewicz, Michael Golden, Mark Texeira and the covers they did for Transformers 1, 2 and 4.
I'm back from Wizard World Miami 2011 which ended just a few hours ago and I would like to thank everyone who made this show such an absolute blast for me. I have to thank Jerry Milani at Wizard PR who treated me like a legitimate member of the media although I'm just some guy who likes old toy robots, amazing sketch card artists Mike "Locoduck" Duron and Rhiannon Owens for letting me interview them, Renee Witterstaetter of Eva Ink Artist Group and all the artists she represents for being wonderful people, J. David Spurlock who really makes other artists shine in the panels he moderates, Scott Thompson creator of Danny Husk:The Hollow Planet for being mind-blowingly funny (and giving me free stuff) and especially Michael Golden for taking the time to talk to me about Star Wars, Micronauts, storytelling and collecting toy robots. I had an incredible time.
Pictures, stories and of course the audio from the interviews I did with Mike, Rhiannon, Renee and Michael will be up later this week. Right now I have to study for midterms so the podcast and putting up pictures will have to wait but thanks to all you guys out there for reading my blog and listening to the show. Without you I wouldn't be able to trick vast media entertainment empires into letting me into their conventions and convince comic artist legends that I'm somebody important enough to talk to.

Awesome! Can't wait to hear all about it.
I in turn want to thank you for your blog and your podcast. I can't seem to get enough of them. Good luck with your midterms, Steve.
A fan,
Juan
Thanks Juan. The hard part is going to be continuing with the ridiculousness that is my show knowing that these people I think so much of are going to hear what a goofball I am!
Did you actually talk to scott thompson?
I did ask a couple of questions at his panel and I recorded the audio so maybe I'll play that. I've gotta figure out how to make it fit in the context of toy robots, though. Maybe I'll stick them in at the end of my Wizard World report.
Awesome, can't wait to hear the next Podcastalypses! And now that you're a member of the press, don't forget all of us little people who got you there.
Yes I will definitely thank all my Micronauts.
That has gotta be one of the most hellishly awesome photographs ever taken in the history of Transformers, perhaps only eclipsable by including Mark Bright, holding a copy of #5. (And Pat Lee photobombing it would have made it the worst embarrassment in the annals of the Universe. Here's to staying the hell in Hong Kong!)
A copy of #3 wasn't handy, I take it? Michael Golden did that one, too.
The Pat Lee photobomb has gotta get photoshopped in there!
I'm pretty sure Mike Zeck did the cover to 3. It's really not in the Golden style.
Might to do tell the TFWiki.net folks somethin' about it, then, as they credit it to Mr. Golden. Couldn't tell you where they get the certainty; maybe the UK version credited the cover artist where the US one didn't. But they're mightily interested in factuality--prove it, they'll change it without argument.
Went to Zeck's site--didn't see it, which isn't proof 'against', itself...kinda want the answer for myself once and for all, now...
