Based on very short con interactions, Jim Starlin, Howard Chaykin, and Frank Miller were also nice and friendly. Chaykin continued talking witth me in the hall after a panel and he was a hoot! At the end of a panel, Miller very kindly drew a kid-friendly Batgirl for a little girl (who probably had no idea who he was).

Didn’t Starlin, Miller and Chaykin share a studio back in the day?

Sergio Aragones and Mike Grell they are my heroes !
Only because a shy awkward 14 year old showed them some not very good superhero pin-ups.
Some older kids snickered at me and made some rude remarks Mr Aragones said to them at least I had the courage to show my work and Mike Grell gave me some pointers, suggested some books and gave me some encouragement.

The best experience I've had with a comic pro was Roy Thomas. Standing in a long line to meet him at a con, I saw (and experienced myself) that he had some personal story to share about each and every book someone put down in front of him to sign and made it a personal experience for each fan that was at his table, taking time to chat and interact with each person that came to see him. It was a really good experience.
Runner up would be Herb Trimpe.

I once had very friendly conversations with Scott McCloud.

When I was but a lad walking around in those early Creation Conventions with my shoddy portfolio in hand. Sergio Aragones and Alfredo Alcala were by far the most approachable artists. Just good guys and it's kind of ironic that I took a art class with Don Rico teaching it (god rest his soul) and he'd tell us stories about him and Sergio palling around. Great memories.

I don't want to say who was the friendliest, because most were cool. The pro that I've spent the most time with was Paris Cullins. Paris was with his girlfriend at a Newark Con and I was at his table for a while. Next year the same time, I got to talk with him again. Later I got to interview him, but the industry stories he told off mic were even better. He's a big convention guy now.
Walt Simonson would be the 2nd, since I met him twice and I got real shy the first time I met him. The 2nd time, he joked about my being dragged behind me, "the girlfriends are always on the phone, texting or doing some else."
Neal Adams I talked to twice. He told me not to try to get an interview while the con is going on. "Come back at the end of the con or tomorrow in the morning." So I came back and he sat me behind his desk and I asked him 3 questions.

Back around 1995, colorist Tom Vincent was replaced by Tom Smith on SILVER SURFER when George Perez became the writer, and he had posted about it on Usenet. I lamented that in a post and said that I loved his airbrush work on THANOS QUEST. He wrote to me and said that my post made his day after being fired, so he mailed me 2 pages of original airbrush art (he painted onto the board) from the series for free.

Steve Bissette and Joe Staton are super-friendly. Cosigning on George Perez and the Simonsons as well.
