This author went there today to meet two stars of the 1970s Saturday-morning live-action "Shazam!" TV show, but was delighted to walk around and shop the vendors and see lots of costumes and fun. And the fact that there was a Q and A panel discussion with said two "Shazam!" stars??? Ultra-bonus!!! Thanks so much to the Great Lakes Comic Convention, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, for bringing on a great show. It all happened at the Macomb Community College Expo Center in Warren, Michigan, yesterday and today, and if you missed it, well, put this one on your calendar for next year.
Below, Michael (Billy Batson) Gray and John (Captain Marvel 2) Davey of "Shazam!" answer fan questions in the panel discussion, and meet and greet folks at their tables. Look for the video of the panel discussion here on this blog shortly!
Above, that's our buddy Don, aka Cuz, with our two stars. Gotcha, Cuz!!!!
Below, one fan brought a "Shazam!" script, which has two more key signatures now! Love the smile on the face of Mr. Davey's wife, who was assisting him at the table. Didn't even know I captured that. :) She was wearing a Shazam hoodie that matched his.
Livin' the dream! BRB and the second man to don the Captain Marvel suit for the show (Season 2), Mr. John Davey. All of this, of course, is going to cause a marvelous update to the BRBTV Report on "Shazam!," so stay tuned for that!

ReplyDeleteThese two gentlemen were so nice!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's great you got to go you sure look like your having fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks, my friend. Wish ya could have been there.
ReplyDeleteI traveled from the Philadelphia area to come to the con. I was sitting a row behind you at the panel, just to the right of your tripod. I was the one who asked if John Davey still had a costume and etc. I didn’t realize until I left the show that you were the BRB of BRBTV! It would have been an honor to officially meet you. Keep up the great work as a fellow connoisseur of pop-culture.
ReplyDeleteOh, goodness, thanks so much, James. You asked the best question!!! I love costumes and props, and I'm still a little flabbergasted that he said he still has his. He definitely needs to dig it out of storage!
