Pi-derman

I intentionally left the “S” off of Spiderman in homage to a little friend of mine, who once decided that the “S” was totally unnecessary and therefore could be shortened down to just “Piderman.” He was 6-years old, and I was his “big brother” as part of my volunteer work.

Imagine the look on a 6-year olds face when you take him to a Spiderman comic signing featuring the two of the stars from the movie. The exhibits were top notch and had full banners, pluls the one-of-a-kind chance to get up close to the folks in charge. It got me to wondering, do they (Marvel Comics) have a custom exhibit company that sets up their displays this way? Some of the stuff was mind-bogglingly good. Even I was impressed.

If you find yourself in a neighborhood where a comic book signing is going on, take some of the little ones down there for it. Even if you don't have kids, get your neighbors or nieces or nephews. It’ll be something they remember forever.
