Peter remembered at SDCC with Memorial Panel, Book Release, and Silent Auction

ComicMix and the David Family invite you to join us in celebrating Peter David’s life and legacy at San Diego Comic Con 2025. You will have several opportunities to do so.

While you’re on the exhibition floor, stop by the ComicMix Booth (#2308), where we will be selling the new release of Completely Howling Mad. This is a numbered hardcover edition, and limited to 500 copies! Completely Howling Mad reprints Peter’s 1989 novel Howling Mad, and his novelette, Moonlight Becomes You. This is a Comic-Con 2025 exclusive, and all proceeds will go to the Davids. 

Over the course of the weekend, we will be hosting a silent auction at the ComicMix Booth (#2308), where you can bid on many items, including the following:

“Kolchak the Nightstalker: 50th Anniversary” art, page 12 of “The Enemy Within” by JK Woodward. Materials: Gouache on 12×18” coldpressed cotton paper.  

Hulk: “Future Imperfect #1” Color Production Art Page 11 (Marvel, 1993) by Tom Smith, with linework by George Pérez. Materials: 12”x15” illustration board, 9”x13” Bristol board, watercolors, acetate, ink. This piece features George Pérez linework on Bristol board, and Tom Smith watercolors. It is In Excellent Condition, and is autographed by both George Pérez and Tom Smith.

There will also be books signed by Peter and various comics scripts available. We are also gladly accepting contributions to the auction. Please leave your donation at the ComicMix Booth (#2308), with a card listing its description, along with your name and contact information.

Bidding for all will be in-person only, and will close at 2pm Sunday. All proceeds will go to the Davids. 

All weekend, there will be a guest book at the ComicMix Booth (#2308) for people to sign and leave their remembrances of the Amazing, Incredible, Spectacular, Sensational (and other licensed adjectives besides)– and dearly missed Peter David.

And at 7pm on Saturday, July 26th, we’ll be gathering in Grand 10 & 11 at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina for a panel titled, “Peter David: A Celebration of His Life, Work, and Legacy.”  

We’re looking forward to gathering and sharing memories of the amazing “Writer of Stuff.” Panelists will include comic legends, friends, and collaborators, such as Paul Levitz, George Takei, Mark Evanier, Chris Ryall, J. K. Woodward, and Glenn Hauman, and moderated by Maggie Thompson of Comics Buyer’s Guide.
