Take this and Little LIzzie.

Had an interesting talk today with a longtime area comic dealer about the upcoming IPOs of Uber, Lyft, etc. which will mint a bunch of new local millionaires and how it might affect the customer base and just the general money sloshing around the area.

Quite a few Facebook ads, a bit more tied to characters than movies and they have actual key words Bronze Age of Comic Books, Silver Age of Comics Books, and Golden Age of Comic Books. (No modern or copper though...) Since our vendors have pretty much self-selected towards vintage and away from TPBs/GNs after the first show or two, we don't bother with graphic novels as a key word. Maybe I will try that one for the next campaign. When are you coming by? Roy broke the Canada barrier last time.

I'll take the 222, thanks.

Landry is a great guy and vintage comic book fan all the way!

Vendor lineup--best lineups at any Northern California 2019 show. Bunky Brothers, Harley Yee, Champion Comics, A-1 Comics, Heroes, Worlds of Wonder, Harvey Doss, House of Comics, ComicWeb, Steve Wyatt, MD Comics, Fantastic Comics, Drag Strip, Bronze Age Batcave, Cape and Cowl, Ray Storch, Cosmic Comics, Carnage Comics, Elite Cali Comics. Plus Wormboy at the door!

Interesting...

I agree, Dave's reply to Richard Kyle is very impressive.

Overstreet stays in people's hands for a year (or more for those who buy it every other year or otherwise irregularly) is my thought. Plus, the Pop Hollinger story in Overstreet had a giant effect on me when I read it as a middle schooler. So this fits in with that, IMO.

What a great idea! Perfect landing spot for this.

So worth the read...

This is great and I love the way it's being unspooled. Super job!

The page quality is usually great on those BT books.

"Clark almost gets married...and to an attractive blonde " And shot full on in the chest with a shotgun by her relative IIRC.

The quarterly Berkeley Comic Show returns on Sunday, April 7. (Note the move to Sundays and also note that the next show after this is Sunday, June 30.) If you didn't attend the January show, you missed out on our beautiful big parking lot, For the April show we have lots of great vendors like Harley Yee, A-1 Comics, Heroes, Champion, Steve Wyatt, Bunky Brothers, Worlds of Wonder, Harvey Doss, etc. We will also have at least five new vendors who either haven't done the show before or haven't done it in at least six months. Dealer lineup and guest lineup to come. Again, at the Berkeley Adult School, 1701 San Pablo Avenue, just off the highway. http://www.berkeleycomiccon.com/

FYI, the Date with Millie is definitely distributor ink. That's the issue that was in some quantity in the Bakertowne warehouse and basically all the vintage books in there were striped. Generally a light stripe but the Classics/World Around Us were kind of disgusting with heavy purple ink all over the back cover sometimes.

Cool book--I wouldn't have known about it and am going to check it out. Thomas did a spectacular job all the way through with Conan, starting with getting the rights. (As for Star Wars, Lucas actually approached Thomas.) Agree about the comments about the Conan audience. Big on the newsstand but not at the LCS. Like the war books, a lot of blue collar readers who weren't necessarily gung ho superhero types.

I thought season two was better than season one. Or even better than season one, if you want to put it that way.

I believe it was and think it was the Julius books where they noticed the jump in sales whenever they featured a talking ape on the cover.

Interesting to see David V. Reed listed on that Strange Adventures 2. He ended up being the main Batman writer of my childhood, mid to late 70s.

That is really cool!

Dates set for the next two shows! Both Sundays. April 7 and June 30. Already have about six new dealers signed up for April!

No, it drives me crazy when it's a current thread that I discover for the first time that day and see things already gone and prices deleted.

I agree that people deleting prices on here drives me crazy too.

Take Detective 457 by pm too, thanks.
