Aside from a massive dealer\u2019s area there are opportunities to meet your favorite artist or favorite actor from the large or small screen. Motor City Comic Con tends to attract some primo talent. Among the great talents you will find the writer\/creator of Nightmare World, Dirk Manning.<\/span><\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12.5pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I can only guess what made Dirk Manning want to write. I am pretty sure that his first thought while still floating in amniotic fluid probably was, \u201cThis is relaxing. I know when I get out of here I am going to want a heated indoor pool. I guess I\u2019ll just have to become a famous author so I can pay for it all.\u201d I think that sounds about right.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12.5pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There is a lot to Dirk Manning and it isn\u2019t all top hats and black clothes. Come to think of it I can\u2019t remember a time that I ever saw Dirk in a color other than black. As I was saying Dirk Manning has layers. He is a karaoke champ, a connoisseur of all things ice cream and he can probably tell you who won the last 10 WrestleMania main events. Layers\u2026 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UkAyJ3uG7kA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12.5pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">All kidding aside Dirk Manning is highly talented and puts on an entertaining panel. I recommend the panel he does about getting into the comic business. Hour talk is entertaining but if you are interested in getting into the comic biz, Dirk has a book for that. The book is called Write or Wrong and is an in-depth look into the business side of the comic world. Write or Wrong which can be purchased on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Write-Wrong-Writers-Creating-Comics\/dp\/098574930X\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1496726102&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=dirk+manning\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> or local comic shop along with his other works.\u00a0 Also check out Dirk&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dirkmanning.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a> and follow him on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/DirkManning\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motor City Comic Con is one of the best comic book\/pop culture events in the Midwest.
