Agree, that signature is very cool!

Www.berkeleycomicshow.com Not super interested in typing more on my little iPhone

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!

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.

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.

Yes, early admission 11-12, $15. Regular admission 12-5 $10.

Canadian visitors welcome!

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.

I'm finding that these days you don't need gigantic crowds to still have sales really add up at shows.

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.

Agree, really liked meeting Mr. Black. Strong show. Not our choice to do a football Sunday/fall Sunday, but it was good nonetheless.

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.

Take care, Michael!

We have confirmed Steven Russell Black as our guest of honor. He's done comic covers, DnD art, etc.

Hope you can make it sometime--people travel a good ways for this show and keep coming back.

Thought we had someone nailed down but he hasn't quite confirmed it with Tim yet.

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!)

Current Vendor list, with a few notes: A-1 Comics Lee's Comics (has a killer new Marvel collection) Shortboxed Champion Comics Heroes CW Comic Sales Worlds of Wonder (EdgerX) (highlights from a great new collection) MDComics Plus (going to have 28 feet of table space there!) ComicWeb Brett's Comics Harvey Doss (bringing his entire brick and mortar store--180 shortboxes) Drag Strip Comics (Lou spent the pandemic picking off key book after key book, including lots of esoteric stuff) House of Comics (way more than I brought to San Jose) Kalen's Collectibles (at the last show, specializing in 80s and up slabs) Santa Rosa Comics (hundreds of new ten cent books, albeit more Dell than the exciting companies) Ray Storch JCTComics DevcoComics (check out the IG) Bronze Age Batcave (always getting new boxes from CGC) Sacto Sanctorum (generally 80s and up) Castle of Doom (some big oldschool toys, some comics)

Tim and I are happy to announce that the Berkeley Adult School has just started renting the big room again and we have our next comic show on Sunday, September 26. Thanks to those of you who braved the Veterans Hall a month ago, but we are back to the usual place with twice the comics and big, free parking lot. The vendor lineup not only has the return of CWcomicsales, Ray Storch, and myself, but at least five new to the show vendors, so there will be a huge amount of fresh stuff. A lot of dealers will be able to return to their full 16 feet setups as well. We do have one change, which should help us socially distance just a tad. Early admission from 11 to noon will now be $15 and admission from noon to five will stay at $10. Wormboy is killing it on the Instagram @berkeleycomicshow Website: www.berkeleycomicshow.com (Can't make this show? Our next show after this is on Saturday, November 6.)

Probably Lou--Drag Strip Comics. He will be at the Berkeley show Sept. 26.

Yeah, Berkeley's a great enough comics town as it is. Adding Phil would make it crazy good! (We did lose Image Comics though...)

1) thanks for the report! 2) Definitely happening next year. August 21 is the date for this new, annual show. 3) The crowd was free-spending and this was a great inaugural effort. 4) Definitely a Steve Wyatt show and everything was really smooth. As always, he has a great guest list and they will call it a comic fest next year which is an echo of his Big Wow Comic Fest, which is a much missed show in San Jose. 5) covid-wise, masks are required everywhere indoors here and the statewide vaccine check goes into effect Sept. 20 for events 1,000 people and up. Stockton is way more than 1,000 people and despite it being held a week before Sept. 20, they are requiring proof of vaccine or very recent covid test. This San Jose show was quite roomy and spread out--very nice vibe.
