Comic-Con 2010 is presenting a Remembering Shel Dorf panel on Saturday, July 24 from 4:30-6:00. One very special member of the panel is Shel’s brother, Michael Dorf. The Comic-Con is very generously hosting Michael this year and we heartily thank them for that.
Here is the program listing for the panel:
4:30-6:00 Remembering Shel Dorf— Shel Dorf, who passed away on November 3, 2009, took a group of young comics and science fiction fans and helped mold their ambitions and passions into Comic-Con back in 1970. Shel was a lover of all things pop culture, especially comics and movies, and he helped set the bar early on for Comic-Con to be an event that focuses on a variety of the popular arts. A panel of Shel’s friends — many of whom worked with him on the early Comic-Cons — gather to pay tribute to him, including moderator Mike Towry and Shel’s brother Michael Dorf, along with Richard Alf, William Clausen, George Clayton Johnson, Greg Koudoulian, Matt Lorentz, Clayton Moore, Mike Pasqua, David Scroggy, and Phil Yeh.
