HeroesCon 2015!!

By Jeremy Meltingtallow

Along with King Features cartoonists, Marcus Hamilton, Bill Holbrook and the mighty Stan Lee, I was one of the guests at HeroesCon 2015 in Charlotte, NC this past weekend. Like usual, this year’s Heroes was a bodacious time for all! Here are a few photos from the weekend:

Marcus Hamilton (Dennis the Menace dailies) and I did some jam art for the benefit auction. I drew Snuffy Smith reading a Dennis The Menace comic book and Marcus drew Dennis reading a Snuffy Smith comic book. Marcus drew his with a blank comic book cover and I drew Snuffy on his wonderful piece of art. I drew mine with a blank comic book cover as well and Marcus drew Dennis on my drawing.

I drew mine with a blank comic book cover, as well, and Marcus drew Dennis on my drawing.  It’s always an honor for me to collaborate with him!  This photo shows Marcus holding my artwork and me holding his!

Also in our section of Artist's Alley for the second year were Jim and Heidi Amash. Jim is a great comic book artist and a man of a million jokes! He works on Sonic The Hedgehog, Archie, Betty and Veronica and more. Also in our section of Artist’s Alley for the second year were Jim and Heidi Amash.

My daughter, Meredith (right), attended HeroesCon with me again and was a tremendous help to Marcus and I. She is pictured here with young, Haleigh Vance, who was attending her first HeroesCon! Haleigh and her parents are friends of ours who recently moved to Charlotte and surprised us by stopping by to visit.
