LOS ANGELES - Testing the waters of his tarnished celebrity a decade after his acquittal on murder charges, O.J. Simpson appeared at a Halloween-themed comic book convention on Friday night to sign autographs, but few beside the media seemed to care.

Simpson’s rare public outing in Los Angeles at the annual NecroComicon show drew little interest, with no more than a dozen people traipsing up a rear stairwell into a small room to glimpse the former football star and actor.

A bigger crowd of reporters and camera crews turned up, but many were kept away by organizers who tried to prevent the media from asking Simpson questions. After about 90 minutes, they hustled Simpson out of the building’s rear exit into a waiting car.

Asked by a reporter if he was being paid for his appearance, Simpson replied, “I’m not doing this for my health.”
