Looking to attend a Comic Con for the first time next month and I want to meet Nolan North for either a photo or an autograph.

I know neither of them will give you much time with the guest, but which do you think is the best value for money?

    Back in the '80s, when these conventions were labors of love, there were no charges for autographs, pictures, or talking to guests. They actually appreciated and enjoyed speaking with fans. I have had famous comic artists draw sketches for me (I wish I knew where the Beta Ray Bill sketch by Walt Simonson is!) and spent an hour or more speaking with the guest of honor.

    I can’t imagine spending substantial sums to stand in line just to have a few seconds with someone who has been on TV or in a movie.

      Even as late as the early 00’s, spouse and I went to see John Delancie. Spouse bought a signed photo of him as Q, but he also came out from behind his desk and put his arm around her so I could take a pic. Maybe because it wasnt very busy, just casual. A number of years later we “tried” to see Will Shatner, but it was crazy busy, surrounded by security. Just didnt seem worth it.
