罗伯特-A-海因莱因简史
对于科幻小说迷来说，很少有人能像罗伯特-A-海因莱因（Robert A. Heinlein）那样大名鼎鼎。从《星舰奇兵》到《异乡怪客》，海因莱因是科幻作家中的佼佼者。遗憾的是，他很少出席大会，因此他的读者很少有机会见到这位大师本人。
20 世纪 70 年代初，海因莱因得了一种危及生命的疾病，需要许多品脱的稀有血型。他觉得自己的生命要归功于献血者，因此当被邀请作为嘉宾出席 1976 年在家乡堪萨斯城举行的世界大会时，他同意了--但有一个特别的规定：他只为献血者签名。
Thus, longtime Comic-Con committee member Jackie Estrada approached the author with an offer to hold a blood drive in San Diego if he would consent to being a guest. He agreed, and in 1977 Heinlein came to Comic-Con. He and his wife, Ginny, had a great time and Heinlein even drew a picture for the Sunday morning Art Auction.tion.
"大卫-斯克罗格（David Scroggy，退休前曾任黑马漫画公司副总裁）是第一次献血活动的协调人，"埃斯特拉达回忆道。"我们还请来了西奥多-斯特金（Theodore Sturgeon），他在自己的书《你的一些血液》（Some of Your Blood）上签了名，并把这本书送给了所有献血者。在人们献血时，我们还为他们准备了娱乐节目。我记得莱斯利-卡巴尔加（Leslie Cabarga）弹了钢琴，C-C-贝克（C. C. Beck）弹了吉他。这是一次非常有趣的活动，罗伯特非常高兴。从那以后，我们每年都举办献血活动。
