  1. Looked like Wondercon moved up to our traditional first weekend of April date so we are doing March 5. Hope everyone can make it! Same spacious location at the Berkeley Adult School. 11 am to noon early admission $15. Noon to five, $10. Giant room packed with comics. Free parking lots in front and back. Close to the highway and close to BART too. www.berkeleycomicshow.com
  2. There was a great vibe at the show and it was great to see Harley. Dealer lineup for March 5 is looking very sharp.
  3. Oh, and also, Sacto Sanctorum Comics. This is a record number of vendors.
  4. Vendor list! Includes seven who weren't there in November and crowd favorites like Harley Yee, Shortboxed, etc. A few new guys who have never set up at the Berkeley show too. Harley Yee Rare Comics Shortboxed A-1 Comics Worlds of Wonder Heroes Comics Champion Comics Fulton Street Comics Carnage Comics Bronze Age Batcave Kalen’s Collectibles Castle of Doom Comic Web Brett’s Comics Ray Storch JCT Comics Devco Comics Dragstrip Comics House of Comics Antone Perry Mike’s Comics Plus
  5. No artists this time but talking to a lot of great ones who have indicated interest. Will post the vendor list later today.
  6. Agree, that signature is very cool!
  7. Www.berkeleycomicshow.com Not super interested in typing more on my little iPhone
  8. National dealers like Superworld, Harley Yee, A-1, Shortboxed, Heroes, Champion. Various new vendors who weren’t at our November show By the way, I have been locked out of the boards for over a month despite using a modern Mac with updated browsers! Come on!
  9. Current vendor list: Terry's Comics, Comic Cellar, Antone Perry, Harv Doss, House of Comics, Worlds of Wonder, Champion, Heroes, A-1, Bronze Age Batcave, Brett's Comics Plus, Mike's Comics Plus, Ray Storch, Santa Rosa Comics, The Batcave (Santa Rosa), Sacto Sanctorum, Kalen's Collectibles, Fantastic Comics (the Berkeley store, not CW), DevcoComics, Justin Cronin, Mel Crespo, Dragstrip/Go Daddy O. Tons of new vendors, tons of SoCal vendors. A great mix.
  10. If you want Terry's Comics to bring something specific to the show, the time to hit him up is now. In the same way, if you like things that most people have but don't bring to shows, the wantlist feature on the show website goes to all the vendors in advance.
  11. We're back with our traditional first weekend of November show. I believe this is the last Bay Area convention in 2021. Happy to say we have three vendors from LA/Orange County setting up at this show: The one and only Terry's Comics, plus Comic Cellar and Go Daddy O. All the usual mainstays like Heroes and Champion and A-1, Harvey Doss, Worlds of Wonder, House of Comics, etc. We'll also have Mel Crespo setting up for the first time (formerly Illustrated Books I believe) and another five vendors who have only exhibited once or twice with us so we are keeping it very fresh! No artist at this time. We've talked to some big names but they are holding off on shows until 2022.
  12. I'm finding that these days you don't need gigantic crowds to still have sales really add up at shows.
  13. Our next event is a comic crawl with five locations participating. Saturday, Oct. 16. Your chance to see the HOC/Wormboy office and see Tim's fabled Marvel bronze collection, full of peds and variants, etc.
  14. Agree, really liked meeting Mr. Black. Strong show. Not our choice to do a football Sunday/fall Sunday, but it was good nonetheless.
  15. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. Tim and I appreciate all you guys. Reminder, early admission ($15) is 11-12. $10 admission starting at noon.
  16. We have confirmed Steven Russell Black as our guest of honor. He's done comic covers, DnD art, etc.
  17. Hope you can make it sometime--people travel a good ways for this show and keep coming back.
  18. Reminder, the website has a wantlist feature which we share with all the vendors. Sure, if you're looking for NM 98 or IH 181, people are going to bring their copies. But for the esoteric stuff that maybe a dealer will leave at the warehouse, it's good to get your request in early. Some of these guys have serious, serious comics at home. (Except Harvey, who is bringing the whole store!)
