I've been asked what the highlight of the con was, and as far as "star power" and marquee talent, no star shone brighter than Flo Steinberg, who sat alongside Stan Lee, Joe Sinnott, Gene Colan and Ralph Macchio on the Marvel Bullpen panel.
She is the most charming, adorable and endearing lady you could imagine, and I can imagine how guys must have been falling all over her when she was Stan's secretary and all-around Girl Friday. She was a little taken aback by the clamor for her attention, and bemused at why anybody would seem to have any interest in what she had to say, but once she got comfortable, it wasn't like she was shy about speaking.
To this day, she comes in every Friday to the Marvel offices to take on proofreading work. She's a real doll, and if she's at next year's con, and you're there, you should make a point to go see her.
