Notes from the Pittsburgh Comic Con:

It has been ages since I’ve been to Pittsburgh. The program book states that it’s the first time I’ve attended a Pittsburgh Con, but that’s not quite true; I was there once before, years ago, attending a Great Eastern Con. It is daunting to think that—if one takes into account the concept that the comic industry has a reader turnover every four years or so—a couple of generations of comics readers have come and gone since I was last down there.
