The assignment all happened at the personal request of George Lucas. Olliffe is an often underrated talent, and hopefully he will get a chance to shine. Too bad at this Comicon, he had his drawing arm bandaged up. Hopefully I'll get this taken off within the week. Even though some anticipated guests such as Andy Park and John Romita, Jr. did not show up, the talent present satisfied many a fan's fantasy.
Readers casually buy comics to read up on popular story lines.
Fanboys are of another breed. They are obsessed. A fanboy, in the world of comics, is nothing short of a drug addict. Male or female, young or old, they will follow their titles religiously and regard the artists and writers as deities. The attendees at the Comicon were nothing short of revival-variety parishioners.
