Stephen C., I personally do not go for the "sexy" creators; I go for the ones who are creating stuff I really like, notwithstanding their status.
Example: A few years back, in Pittsburgh I believe, my beloved wife and I were wandering through the guest area. There was a long line by one of the current Flavor-of-the-Month creators - I don't recall who but I remember NOT liking the "homage" type art he was doing - but we got to mosey right up through the NOBODY IN LINE to see Mike Grell, and Joe Sinnott, and Terry Austin. All three were splendid gentlemen, lovely to chat with, and equally accommodating to my wife (just barely interested in comics) and me ("It was All Star #8, not Sensation #1".)
NO. LINES.
There's nothing wrong with seeing who you want to see, naturally; but I agree with "fountain of knowledge and a good storyteller" attraction.
And what do you think? I got a Popeye sketch from Terry Austin!
