A DC Comics ‘Wayne’ who’s not Batman? That’d be Bob Wayne, who took part in a panel discussion at SDCC to chat about his career.
From stately Comic Con
How long have you been a DC Comics fan? If you have any kind of depth of history behind you, then chances are you know Bob Wayne, even if you’re not familiar with the name. That’s because Wayne spent almost 30 years at DC, as its head of sales & marketing, before moving on about a decade ago.
As such, he’s got some tales, so it’s a good thing that friend and Forbidden Planet TV’s Andrew Sumner was there at Comic Con International. There the two engaged in a chat about Wayne’s life and times, along with guests like William Schanes, David Siegel, Fletcher Chu-Fong, and Stuart Shreck. The talk also included Wayne’s memories of comics luminaries that he met along the way, like former DC president Paul Levitz, and icons Will Eisner and Steve Ditko.
At almost an hour long, it should give you a good feel for what a Comic Con panel is like too. So if you’ve never sat through one, grab a snack and enjoy.
Did you dig it? If so, stay tuned, because Forbidden Planet TV is promising more panels from the biggest Con on the calendar in the future.
