...While I was at the comic con this weekend.

So, I went to the little CalComicCon in Yorba Linda yesterday with my wife and made the rounds looking at some many awesome books! There were copies so many of New Mutants 87 and 98, Incredible Hulk 271, X-Men 1, Iron Man 1, Strange Tales 180, the list goes on and on... If it's hot it was right there on the wall, over priced, but just staring right at you. All the books you could ever want. And there were even a lot of odd or raw books too. One vendor brought everything I've never heard of with him, even a really nice Space Family Robinson number 1 in super shape, but, I couldn't buy them all... So I bought a stack of some cheaper comics like Star Wars and akira and Rachel Rising and The Activity. Just trying to finish off some runs, but I did want to leave with one special book and so... Here it is... Another Wally Wood cover... See pic.

But a funny thing happened to me. I got into a conversation with one vendor, really nice guy and we chatted about what we're reading and then we started talking about Thief of Thieves. I told him I just plowed through the series and LOVED it. Could not put it down... and it just so happens we were bidding on the same issue one variant last weekend. Never ran into someone I was in a bidding war with at a ComicCon, but regardless we both lost out, me by about 30 bucks and him by a 2 dollars.
