This thread is really good!
My unpopular take is that Frank Robbins did a good job on Invaders. Somehow his art fits there. (I hate his Batman.)

I was selling every week in the CBG in 1987-1988 I do remember that article. I had hopes on selling my Tec 27 for a house myself.
Nice!

Good show, fun time.

I have to say, I grew up in the 70s and I have some pretty good nostalgia for golden age Batman because my "on the rack" experience including GA reprints in DC 100-pagers and Treasuries. Not to mention books like Batman from the 30s to the 70s. So those stories did not seem all that dated to me--they seemed normal.
Of course where I was growing up in small town Michigan was backwards enough that the 40s did not seem that far away either. I think we had to talk to the operator to make a long distance call well into the 80s.
Same thing with westerns--so many westerns in the air around me, including 40s/50s shows, that GA western comics will always seem normal to me.

To lose money with DC it's easy for fastest route simply buy slabbed digests as you remind yourself over and over they are the rarest high grade DC or Marvel books of the late Bronze and Copper age. Then watch as your ROI as expected circles the drain - see my current signature images
That's funny! I ended up with some 9.6 digest slabs somehow and they didn't even make the $50 cut to be able to list on Shortbox.

That's so Ray. He'd have Dennis 1 or Sugar and Spike 1 or Showgirls 1 or Brave and the Bold 1 or It's Gametime 1, but not Flash 105 or Brave and the Bold 28.When he first started reading comics it was probably the tail end of pre-code horror and the nadir of superheroes, and thus an "esoteric" collector was born. More likely to have 3-D humor comics than Batman. His job as a crafts fair guy allowed him to travel and hunt all over the west coast.
He was also very instrumental in Katy Keene fandom with the resurgence of the character in the early 80s and became good friends with Bill Woggon.

I should be right to the left, against the wall. Next to board member Worlds of Wonder and across from board member Lee's Comics.

I first learned of Ray through his CBG selling ads. So when I moved to Berkeley I realized he was just over the Oakland border. We exchanged one letter in summer, 1988 when I sent him a list of some stuff I had for sale. Pretty good stuff for an underclassman, but he already had his copy of Yellow Claw 1, etc. and he was never interested in super-heroes, besides a passing interest in Spider-Man. He would have some 1950s Action Comics because he liked the backup stories, but no Superman, for instance.

Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon is going to pass Cerebus, I have no doubt.
Spawn is sort of a different animal.

I bought all four A series modules in great shape in August 2020 for $130 including tax & shipping (so probably about $110 before t&s).
I feel that A2 is particularly sweet (though my group always tended towards a little more military-assaults so it fit our bias). I've had great success with running it as originally designed, ie a 4 hour tournament module with 9 NPCs. Upstairs or lower level. Give it a try--it's a fun nostalgic experience.

Sounds like it was a little more sedate than previous years.

Hello everyone--our traditional first week of August show is coming right up on the 5th. The room is positively packed with comic books, the vast majority of which are vintage. The regular vendors are constantly buying and processing, so it's very fresh every time.
Happy to have Bud Plant setting up for the first time since January. He'll have very interesting material. Also setting up for his first show in about 20 years (!!) is collecting legend Gary Carter, responsible for Comic Book Marketplace, The Overstreet Grading Guide, etc. He'll have comics, fanzines, pulps, etc. Heritage Auctions will also be returning to the show.
Saturday, August 5, 11 am to noon early admission, $15. Regular admission 12-5, $10. Same great location near the highway. Big free parking lot.

If you can't make this one, we return on Saturday, Oct. 28 so mark your calendars for that one!

Finally made it out after missing the last few shows. The boxes of dollar books on the stage were DANGEROUS on my wallet.
There had to be like 100+ long boxes of just dollar books. Couple that with all the amazing books sellers had on the show floor and I walked out with waaaaay more books than I expected to. Thanks for putting together another great event!
Thanks for coming and glad you found some deals!

Hello everyone--Tim and I have a another great dealer lineup for you at our June show. There will be multiple new vendors who weren't at the March show, including F/VF Comics, coming up for LA for the first time. The room is positively packed with comic books, the vast majority of which are vintage. The regular vendors are constantly buying and processing, so it's very fresh every time. Looking forward to seeing everyone--this is our longest gap of the year between shows so it's seems like it's been awhile!
Saturday, June 24, 11 am to noon early admission, $15. Regular admission 12-5, $10. Same great location near the highway. Big free parking lot.

My favorite too. I was still five years old when I got to see the reprint in The Great Comic Book Heroes, followed shortly thereafter by wonderful reprints including Batman 1 and Tec 27 in DC treasuries, as well as 100-page spectaculars. But the two killer apps for me were reruns of the tv show and especially the Batman from the 30s to 70s hardcover. Really a great time to be presented with the whole gamut of Batman to that time, from dark avenger, to somewhat lighter crime fighter, to the scifi era, the camp era, and then the Adams era.

Hello everyone--our traditional autumn show is coming right up on the 28th. The room is positively packed with comic books, the vast majority of which are vintage. The regular vendors are constantly buying and processing, so it's very fresh every time.
I count nine vendors who will be setting up who were not at the August show! This includes at least four who have never set up at our show, as well as the return of vendors like A-1 Comics and Shortboxed.
Saturday, October 28, 11 am to noon early admission, $15. Regular admission 12-5, $10. Same great location near the highway. Big free parking lot.

If you can't make this one, we will return in mid-January. We do five shows a year, like clockwork.
