I was looking at my Baltimore Comic Con Yearbook trying to figure out all the signatures and I'm having a hard time with two of them.
Please let me know if you recognize any of the following. It's driving my crazy.

I have no clue who the second one is.


This looks like an Amy or Lucy. Too bad no one with that name contributed to the book.


This is why I'll be getting signatures on the actual art for now on. I can't remember who's who.


Here's the list of artists who were actually at the show.

Them's tough.... I'm no help here.

Do you recall 'who' you had sign, to narrow it down?

Or, try asking a pharmacist to decipher them...

This made it sound like I actually went around getting the signatures. That wasn't the case.

Someone from the Dojoboard picked it up for me. They couldn't remember who the artists were either.

After spending an hour on comic art fans I came to the conclusion that the first sig I was missing was Craig Rousseau. Only two more to go.

Good thing I had nothing better to do today.

haha.... way to go Gaffey!

Now I see it - "Craig R"

I would try to confirm 100% on the first one, but the Craig Rousseau piece I won from the CAPS auction doesn't have his signature on it!

I just figured out the one I thought said Amy/Lucy is Terry Moore. I was looking at signed art on eBay and it looks just like it. Only one to go!

My only guess is Ken Hunt. I'm giving up for the day.

I think he signs some of his more detailed pieces with a C! and others (mostly sketches) with his name.

Edit: Yep, I just looked at yours and it's the C!. Which you already knew. Great pick up.

You've got two right, Craig Rousseau (page 18) and Terry Moore (who did the tip-in, not a page in the book). The third is Rich Woodall, page 34.

My signature has evolved or devolved over the years into a series of curly cues. Is it still legible as being me. Twenty years ago it was very blocky letters, similar to how I sign it on my art in the box. I often draw Usagi along with it so people know it's me.

Stan, your "chop mark" is as blocky as a signature can get!

Ah, but I am talking about my actual signature as in the middle of Gaffey's page. Actually, that is my autograph. My signature is different.

Oops, I've been calling them signatures instead of autographs.

Wow!, the autograph under Craig Rousseau is Rich Woodall? I never would have guessed that. On page 34 it sort of looks like a greater than sign, then an apostrophe and then a less than sign. When I looked him up on comic art fans he just printed his full name on the art. Of course I didn't go through all 100+ images. Now I can get a good night's sleep. Thanks.

If Usagi wasn't attached I don't know if I'd know it was yours. Assuming I hadn't seen it so many times.

How do you choose how you're going to sign your watercolors? I noticed on some you put an S, some you sign in cursive, some are just SAKAI and others are signed SAKAI with the year.

Went looking through my copy of the yearbook when I got home, but by the time I went online I see it's all been figured out. I would have never guessed Rich Woodall!
Terry Moore is obvious now... but I never thought of him since his name isn't on the alphabetical listing ....

I didn't think about that either. They listed 4 of the 5 tip-in plate artists.

Maybe they meant to put Terry Moore where Tradd Moore is. I don't remember a Tradd Moore piece in the book.
