An upcoming episode of the TV mystery series NUMB3RS, titled "Graphic," is set at a comics convention. To add authenticity, the set decorators borrowed art, photos, toys, and entire booths from actual comic convention exhibitors. Colleen Doran's booth, posters and art will be there -- but Colleen won't; she couldn't make the trip out to LA for filming.
Wil Wheaton (who played Wesley Crusher on STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION about a generation ago) will play a comics creator on the episode. The above link is to photos he took on the set -- including of a table covered with autographed STTNG photos. And yes, one of the photos depicts Wheaton in his Wesley Crusher role.
My cousin Lee Goldberg's next MONK tie-in novel, MR. MONK IN OUTER SPACE, depicts Monk at a science fiction convention. If the book is ever filmed as an episode, maybe they can buy some stock footage from this NUMB3RS episode. (Then again, so many SF folks are also Monk fans that they could probably get loans of materials just like the NUMB3RS producers.)
Thanks to Ms. Doran for the info.
