Robert Culp at Comic-Con

Here is a photo I took of Mr. Culp signing autographs at Comic-Con 2008. Little did any of us know that this would be his last big event appearance with "Greatest American Hero" co-stars William Katt and Connie Selecca. He was a real trooper too, greeting fans and holding his own amongst the usual Comic-Con crowds.

Before signing autographs on the convention floor, Culp, Katt, and Selecca held a panel to reminisce about the show and announce a possible feature film in the works as well as the new "GAH" comic, produced by Katt himself. I am even MORE glad now that I attended this panel. The movie is still up in the air, but if it does come together, Katt and Culp are going to be tough to top.

Also, here is an article praising Robert Culp's role and contributions to the "GAH" series, an important component of his career that seems to be largely eluding the mass media. I've read a few obituaries that only contain one sentence in the vein of 'oh yeah, and he also starred in the early 80s TV series "The Greatest American Hero". Hello?...after "I Spy", this was one of his endearing legacies to television history!
