Book Industry Pros @ Comic-Con: Hard Work, But Fun

By Neal 

elvis-rachel-kempster.jpgDK associate publicity director Rachel Kempster went to San Diego for the Comic-Con last weekend, and got her picture taken with the Elvis Trooper, perhaps the festival’s most easily recognized attendee. “DK has been attending the show for 6 years, and this was the best year ever,” Kempster emailed me earlier this week, citing the strong sales for all the promo posters and books stocked in the company’s booth. “You know, ever year I’m shocked that our booth gets so mobbed at a show with so much competition (a booth for the Dharma Initiative! Action-figure exclusives! Movie stars!) but it does… And on a side note, I got to meet Ron Moore, creator of Battlestar Gallactica. I nearly fainted.”

DK has plenty more photos from the weekend, although not nearly as many as Bully the Cow has been posting all week. Tor‘s new website was posting throughout the weekend, too, as was Random House‘s sci-fi blog, Suvudu. (And, of course, mediabistro.com’s own FishbowlLA.) What other exemplary Comic-Con coverage have you seen?
