Saturday of Planet Comicon 2008 is ended.  It was a great day for the fans, exhibitors and guests. Everyone seems to be having a great time.  Be sure to stop out on Sunday as almost all guests will be there all day.  The only guest not returning is Bernie Wrightson, who had to leave town, (possibly Bruce Jones).  Kenny Baker, Walter Koenig and Brinke Stevens will be at their tables ALL day (except for personal breaks) meeting and greeting fans and signing autographs.  And don't forget our SURPRISE GUEST -- Tom Kane, the voice of Yoda in the upcoming Star Wars animated feature stopped by on Saturday to meet and greet fans and had such a good time I think he will return on Sunday!

Creators will be signing in artists alley and it will be a great opportunity to get a sketch from some of the top artists in the comic industry, such as David Finch, Mark Texeira, Angel Medina, Tony Moore, Eric Powell, Phil Hester, Ande Parks and others.  The show is open from 10 am to 4 pm.  Stop out and enjoy!!
