Legends Gather

 

Can you name these Comic & Pop-culture legends who appeared together at a Comic-Con in 1987? Hint: The three older gentlemen on the couch pretty much launched the entire super-hero comic industry.

Jack “King” Kirby co-created much of the foundational Marvel comics characters. Jerry Siegle co-created Superman. Bob Kane co-created Batman. If there was any justice in this world, Bill Finger would be on that couch as well since he contributed to the most iconic and significant aspects of Batman.

I read that Stan Lee had been in the room (which served as that Comic Con's HQ) but left before the photo was taken.

Bill Mumy starred as the boy in the classec TV series Lost in Space; Mark Hamil portrayed the iconic Luke Skywalker; Ferrer was in RoboCop and many other signature movies.

Bill Mumy and Mark Hamill are the only people in this photo that are still alive (as of 2024).

Mark Hamill has this photo on his Instagram saying he'll treasure it forever.
