Silver Age Comic Book Trivia Contest. (5 of 6)

This is part 5 of a 6 part series that we found on Youtube.

Here is what the filmmaker, Matthew Hawes of www.TheHappyShow.net had to say.

This is the PRO-FAN SILVER-AGE TRIVIA CONTEST at WizardWorld Chicago in 2006. The panel was hosted by COMICS BUYER’S GUIDE columnist, Craig Shutt (Mr. Silver-Age). The representative for the comics pros was Mark Waid, who answered questions via cell-phone, as he couldn’t make it to Chicago. A panel of comics fans competed against Waid on comics trivia from the Silver-Age of comic books. This is part five of six. Nearly the entire contest was filmed by me, but my camera ran out of juice before the final outcome. SPOILER! Mark Waid won. But, see if you get the answers correct, yourself. Filmed by Matthew Hawes www.TheHappyShow.net
