Leonardo da Vinci

Though my Italian is less than passable.
Not that it would matter, as with any of the famous people listed I would be tongue tied. It would probably take all I had just to get my sweaty hand out for a hand shake.

I started attending conventions again about 5 years ago after a break of almost 20 years. It's allowed me to meet many of the heroes of my childhood/teens/early 20's, and some more recent ones. 

But, having not made it to New York or Vegas, I still haven't met JB. This forum takes some of the sting out....and it's allowed more "conversation" than any few minutes of book signing would. 

I never got to meet Leonard Nimoy. Or even see him in person. DeForest Kelly, same. I've seen the rest of the TOS bridge crew at one time or another over the years, including their Captain.

My TWO BIGGIES are John Byrne and George Perez!!  I had the great pleasure of meeting George Perez about 10 years ago - I still hold out hope that I will someday meet JB.

I dream of a dinner for five that includes
myself, Jean Giraud, Jim Henson, Walt
Disney and George Lucas. The amount of
outside the box imagination would blow a
hole in the Universe.

I think Daniel Day Lewis would be really interesting, but I would only meet him if he was into it.  Unfortunately my kind goes to a swanky dinner party and I am peppering him with questions about Daniel Plainview as he nervously looks for the exit.  And then they serve milkshakes for dessert.

So maybe Jack Kirby instead.
