11/7/2004   LUCCA, ITALY WRAP-UP

Italy, we Love you. This was our first visit to the Lucca comics and Gaming show. It is held each year just out side of the 13th century walls that surround the wonderful Tuscan city of Lucca. This year's show had Tim Bradstreet and Simone Bianchi as guests of honor. Italy has a lot of Alex Ross fans thats for sure. We want to thank all of them as well as all of the wonderful people of Lucca for their wonderful hospitality. A very special thanks to our Italian interpreter,Gloria Bianchi. Also a million "Thank you's" for the hospitality of the entire Bianchi family (most notably Simone Bianchi). What a great show. See you next year.
