Gotta give him credit.

He looks damn good for a man in his mid-fifties

I worked with Marvel a couple times (i was on issue #204 Conan magazine) and a marvel artist Alan Ribeniwitz told me differently, so that comes as a surprise.

Interesting angle.  I've done work for the big 2 and have seen this clown at conventions for years and years, so what i've seen/heard/experienced is different from yours. Interesting, nonetheless....  !

What I don't agree with is his refusal to take a picture with someone who doesnt want to buy a picture.

Exactly.... thank you.
Years ago, at a comic book convention, Lou "The Incredible Jerk" Ferrigno had a booth set-up and this girl stood next to Lou without his knowledge while her friend was about to take a picture and right before the moment of "click" he told them 'no' without buying a picture and seemed to have been irratated that someone would try get a pic of him.... for free.  ::)

Needless to say, the girls walked away in disbelief as I shook my head walking away as well.

Big Lou is trying to eat. Clearly he doesn't have many income generating  avenues so he pimps the last bit of name recognition that he has. Can't fault him for that
Here comes the money shot

S.M., do you know the artist, Alan Ribinewitz?  This was in the early 90's or so, when #204 Conan came out so maybe things changed.

Lou is nothing but a money hungry greedy bastard, he is worth over ten million and is suing his own brother  for using his own last name. The IRS should look into how much cash Lou buries each year to avoid paying taxes. I would not pay 2 cents for one of that losers autograph, i wish him only the worst.

I heard that the judge ordered the lawsuit into mediation.It's on this thursday at his lawyer's office in N.J. If he has that much money why don't he leave his brother alone. I can't believe anyone would stick up for him ??? ??? Lou why don't you get a real job ::)

I don't know, Matt.  He's still living in his house in Santa Monica - north of Wilshire.  He's remodeled it a couple of times.  It's probably worth 3 - 4 Mill. And he has a ranch in northern Callie. And he has some other real estate.  He works a lot of weekends doing celebrity appearances and selling his signature.  He does the comic conventions too.  He's on TV fairly regularly and gets bit parts in movies.  He is huge over seas.  And he has a few endorsement contracts.  Louie is always working.  I wouldn't say he's poor.




Hes also a reserve sheriff office for lasd

Lou usually sits at the Weider/AMI booth space, so he doesn't have to rent the space. For some reason, Weider still pays him 100K/year as a sponsored athlete. I guess it's his popularity overseas, or as I like to tell people "You've never heard of me here in the States, but I'm huge in Japan"

Looks like a greaseball momo from the bronx to me...

  I had a bad expierence with Lou at a comic book shop downtown Chicago a few yrs back...with my punk ass disposable camera from fkn Walgreens...he refused to take a picture with me unless I gave him $20. I was the ONLY person at the shop at that time of day(7pm) or so...even the manager of the store tried joking with him about it and told him how I'm a friend of his and the shop and Lou just shook his head 'no' and sat down. Fk that greasy spaghetti slurper! This happened in 2002 I think...right before that Hulk movie came out.

 I don't care what 'era' he is from and what the 'old timers' did back then...with the moneyhe makes his pics shouldnt be more than $10 if not FREE.

 Why do you defend him, John? Bottom line is this player...if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck then guess what? Lou conducts himself like a fkn prick...treats people like a fkn prick...gives off the impression of being a fkn prick...is known to be a fkn prick so guess what, John?

I saw Lou this year at the San Diego Comic Convention. Traveled there
all the way from South Africa. I didn't know he was going to be there and
when I saw him I payed $20 for a autographed poster and got a BW photo
free.....I also took some pics with him. He was cool and friendly....

It's not like I see him or any other pro's on a regular basis since I don't
stay in the US, so I payed the cash. If you have issues with how he makes
money...don't buy anything.
