So as I was saying, when I woke up on Sunday morning I found myself in some sort of a parallel world. I was in a grand room and surrounded by many many people. First, I saw Jango Fett, then Bobba Fett and then several Imperial Stormtroopers went by. I noticed that one of the Stormtroopers seemed a bit short, which I thought was a bit odd seeing as they are all clones of the same man. But imagine my shock when he removed his helmet and not only was he short, he was also blonde and he was a she! Something was wrong. Then I caught sight of Xena-Warrior Princess headed my way. Naturally I was excited; but as she approached I saw that since her t.v. show ended she must have really fell upon hard times. She looked to have aged quite a bit and she put on some weight; aside from her leather dress she didn’t look familiar at all.
Then just when I was questioning reality, I saw Supergirl. Let me tell you, she looked good…really good. So I followed her (at a safe distance) for a while. Later on I saw Booster Gold with Skeets, but he had also turned into a girl. What was both exciting and upsetting was when I saw the Incredible Hulk (the real one, not some computer generated piece of…drek) but I guess most of the gamma radiation has leaked out of him over the years. Now the only part of him that’s green is his upper torso, it almost looked like he was actually just wearing a green t-shirt.
I wandered around in a daze seeing familiar characters who just didn’t look right (Nightwing, Robin and Batgirl to name but three) then I saw my comic book guy Dave. I went over and talked to him for a few minutes and he seemed normal. Then as I was walking away, out of the corner of my eye I noticed the banner advertising his store didn’t say, "The Bookworm’s Den" it said, "Amazing Fantasy".
This last one just left me completely numb. I wandered into a curtained off area and took a seat. There were three people on a stage answering questions from the audience. I didn’t really hear what they were saying my mind was on fire. Eventually I blacked out and when I came to I was safe in my own bed and everything seemed alright. But I have found a picture on my camera of the three people on the stage. I will offer a reward to anyone who can identify them and name at least one character that they have portrayed. Just leave me an answer in the comments section below.
The guy on the right looks familiar….
what was the reward?
I’ll send you an autographed copy of the picture. My autograph will be worth a lot of money someday.
