Comic-Con quite simply would not be the event it is without the exhibit hall floor and the myriad authors and artists who come and spend time interacting with the attendees, whether they are on panels, doing signings, in artists alley drawing, or appearing at publisher booths.

James Rollins is one of my favorite examples because he has come to Comic-Con every chance he has had for 15+ years - since his very first book was published. In the beginning he came to find an audience, now he comes to thank his readers for staying with him and supporting his work. It is a journey that, from my perspective, he and his readers have, in many ways, taken together.
