Met Larry Hama at San Diego Comic-Con

[polyphenus]

He was signing at the Hasbro booth and there was a line of about ten people in front of me. All I could find for him to sign was the Hasbro Toy Shop sale list with a few crossed off items, but it's a unique item to this year's convention which is also from the 30th year of G.I. Joe (ARAH).

Mr. Hama signed above Snake Eyes on the back side, shook my hand, and even held the sheet up as he posed for a picture with me. This event was certainly a highlight of my convention experience.

Cool, he's a great guy. It's nice when celebs/creators take time for their fans.

cool, I couldnt find him all convention, luckily I met him and got a sketch back in the Canadian Joe Con a few years back. What booth is he in? The schedual said Artists alley but never saw him.

When I saw him today he was in the Hasbro booth, but he was on the side that faced the main entry door wall. I almost walked right by him since he was sitting beside some display cases...

Larry is the man! He signed a whole bunch of stuff for me and my GF at the Joe con last year, of course I also did not walk up w/ 30 things at once either, but 2 or 3 at a time and then got BACK in line and waited again like a normal human being. :)

He also took multiple pics w/ me and sat there and smiled as he listened to the inner 12 year old fan boy in me who was so happy to meet him. :)

He also regularly answers on his FB page too, even wrote me back personally on my son's SE costume for Halloween! :)

VERY cool guy! :)

He really is a great guy. My wife and I met him 10 years ago at the G.I. Joe convention in Norfolk, Virginia. I still have the pictures of him signing my G.I. Joe issue 1. We talked about his writing of Joe and Wolverine. He told me how he always liked the idea of the hero going through impossible odds and tragedies, and still coming out on top. You definitely see this with the way he wrote Snake Eyes and Wolverine. Very personable and very humble. Pretty much the antithesis of the Devil's Due writer, that I met at the same Con.
