Paige Turco Greater Austin ComicCon 2025

The whole reason of going to Greater Austin ComicCon was to see Paige Turco. She was scheduled for last year but there were software issues with the airlines that canceled thousands of flights. One of those flights was hers.  She generously agreed to come back this year. Which was very exciting for me.

I drove down with 2 fellow collectors. It made the trip easier. Long drives get to be a grind. It was nice to chat with someone as the miles passed in the rear-view mirror.

When we found Paige’s table, she was away.  I asked the handler when she was coming back. He pointed to Kevin Clash’s table and said she was chatting with him. We didn’t need to wait long before she wandered back. We were greeted with a wonderful smile.

We chatted for a while. She was so glad to be invited back this year. She mentioned some issues with the flight this year too and had a passing fear of missing again.  It ended up with only a delay and then she was in Austin.

I mentioned I had 3 items to get signed. All from The 100. Her face brightened as I pulled out the first mini poster. She looked over the other signatures. I explained to her and my buddies about the WB group signing. I was very happy to get a chance to add her to the poster.

I mentioned I would like to match the color of the other signatures. A black and grey sharpie would work.

She signed the first. She signed next to her ‘daughter’. Fitting. The second mini poster my buddy suggested signing top and center. I agreed it was a good place. Both mini posters looked great.

I handed over the 8x10. She suggested a bronze color. I gently frowned and countered with blue.  They didn’t have a blue so I pulled out my blue deco. I suggested she could ‘test’ the bronze on my top loader and we could look at the results with the photo underneath the coloring.  I was correct. That color would have been hidden.

The blue pops nicely.

I stepped away and let my photo dry. Paige chatted with my buddies. She was just as charming with them. I’m so glad she made it this year after unable to appear last year.
