We may get our heart racing when seeing some of our favorite books, franchises and videogames displayed but there is nothing like actually meeting some of the stars that brought our geek passions to life.
Margot Kidder will always be well known as Lois Lane in the original Christopher Reeves Superman films. Although Lois Lane has been portrayed by various actresses. Margot Kidder was THE one to give us the sassy, brilliant and every-part-Superman’s-equal to the silver screen. We will never forgot her scene with the helicopter and one of the most famous quotes in movie history:
Superman: “ I’ve got you.”
Lois Lane: “You’ve got me? WELL, WHO’S GOT YOU?”
To this day, every single actress to have the honor of playing Lois Lane, has been compared to this legendary actress and as Man of Steel rolls around, I’m sure Amy Adams will hearing a few of those discussions.
In 1974, a TV show called The Six Million Dollar Man will forever be a science fiction cult classic.
Born in 1926, Richard Anderson starred in American films alongside Lee Majors and countless other brilliant actors and actresses. However, in 1974 he became known as one of the most popular cyborgs in pop culture history. Continuing his character into the spinoff The Bionic Woman, Anderson appears alongside his now female counterpart.
Although the show has long been off air, fans have never forgotten the character’s popularity. Dynamite Entertainment and Kevin Smith brought back The Six Million Dollar Man into a brand new, revamped comic book series with art by the famous Alex Ross (Kingdom Come).
The exhibit hall also had a one of a kind art gallery in the back. Several pieces caught the eye of attendees as they moseyed around for a closer look.
With pop culture being the only theme of this convention, we can see it well reflected among artists, as they give their own take on what pop culture means to them.
Alicia Hollinger is a Los Angeles based digital artist with galleries displayed from Titmouse Animation, Comikaze, Long Beach Comic Con, Comic Book Sundays and countless other events. She combines her skills with her love of all things geeks, and of course, hot chicks! What man on earth can resist her art?

As many rounded the corner from Silverman’s photographs, we see Luke Lombardo’s works of art, as he combines both stencils and freehand to deliver us these two amazing pieces:
