I'll just say the other artists there (mostly Marvel) guys I got to sign all were joking about the way they have Stan set up now at these signings. These are other peers that worked with/under him and were taken back by the no touching, no photos deal is all I am saying.

I am glad you cherished your moment, just as I'll cherish my signed comic!

The dude is 90! While he may be a very energetic 90, it is still 90. Plus, think of all the crazy folks who go to conventions. I'm not saying that I'm a fan of the way things are set up, but it is understandable. And if he can trade a photo or an autograph for another 50 bucks for charity, more power to him.

It's all good in the end. I'm glad he's still out making the rounds.
