Super Mega Show Recap
The commute to Super Mega Show today, one way, was longer than my actual time at the con. This is one of those hit or miss autograph shows that I do not attend regularly but if there are celebs that I have not yet met, then I'm there! Today, the "hit" was Linda Thorson from the 60s British TV series, The Avengers (no, youngsters, it is not associated with Marvel's Avengers in any form).
Linda Thorson's Tara King replaced Diana Rigg's Emma Peel and while the latter may be the most popular of all the Avenger female leads, Tara King was no less memorable for her quirky demeanor (Tara-ra boom dee yay!) She was incredibly outgoing and sharp at the con today. She has not lost an ounce of energy. Elegantly dressed in white professional attire, the soon-to-be 65 year old actress has clearly remained physically active over the years.
Afterwards, I made my way to the parking lot to take pictures of the impressive Batman vehicle display that included the classic Batmobile, Batcycle, and Batcopter from the 1966 series starring Adam West and Burt Ward (who were also at the con but signing in a room set apart from the other guests). I'd met both of them at previous conventions. Believe me, Adam West can be an experience.
Also in the display was the 1989 Batmobile from the Michael Keaton film and a statue of The Dark Knight, the current version of Batman as portrayed by Christian Bale.
All in all, it was a smooth, quick show and welcome contrast to the insanity of last weekend's Wizard World.
