This is one of the weirdest, yet strangely appropriate, celebrity signing announcements I’ve ever seen. Los Angeles’ NecroComicon is going to have as their guest, OJ Simpson. Apparently The Juice will be signing photos for $95 a pop and jerseys for $125. No word yet on how much they’ll be asking for the limited edition gloves & knife collector’s set.
O.J. Simpson plans to sign autographs and pose for pictures at a Halloween-themed comic book convention in a rare public appearance coinciding with the 10th anniversary of his acquittal on murder charges, a promoter of the event said on Friday.
Simpson agreed to show up at the NecroComicon show in Los Angeles for three days, starting on Friday night, as a favor to an unspecified friend who was paid in advance to arrange for the weekend appearance, according to the promoter, Tom Riccio.
Riccio said Simpson, who now lives in Florida, was “not getting a penny” for his visit, but was using the event as a possible trial run for future public appearances that he would make “in exchange for donations to his kids’ college fund.”
“A lot of promoters are watching this to see how it goes, and we’re going to take it from there,” Riccio said.
