[Jason Truong]

Finally, that site got a makeover.

[Kevin Boyd]

The site will be updating the guest information for the April show early next week (after the guests get announced at the Feb. 3rd show).

 

Less than five days until the Feb. 3rd show!

 

 

[Jason Truong]

Three days!

[Kevin Boyd]

Less than two days until the con!

 

[Kevin Boyd]

Table sales for this event are better than expected. I'll try to get an updated exhibitor list posted tomorrow.

 

Artist Dave Ross (Star Wars: Dark Times) is a last minute addition to the guest list.

[Jason Truong]

Tomorrow!

[Kevin Boyd]

Everything and everyone is set. We're heading down to the convention centre right now. See you in a few hours!

We still have to add more of the local professionals, but the bios for the out of town guests have been posted on the website.

After more than 28 years of pecking away, I finished off my run of Atoms, the three Showcases included, by picking up an Atom #2 in NM- condition! I also picked up a Flash #128, a Flash #132 and a Green Lantern #16 in perhaps even better condition. The Green Lantern #16 wasn't even on my want list but it was so white and sharp that I could not resist buying it. I now have a NM- double of GL #16 for sale or trade. I picked up a couple Silver Age Lois Lanes, my first Strange Tales with the Human Torch, a couple of Woody Woodpecker Dells including a giant, an early Friendly Ghost Casper and a Little Audrey & Melvin #6. Another expensive convention outing, that's for sure.

BTW, does anyone know the name of the artist of Asian ancestry who had Jessica Alba as Sue Storm posters for sale?

[Kevin Boyd]

Jason Park of DMF Comics was manning the booth, but the art may have been by Jim Su.

Thanks Kev. I guess I spent two shows listening to Tiz ask Jason "where's Jim Su?" that it sunk in.

 

2 more pics I didn't post: Mitch Breitweiser and Batgirl

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And if I didn't say it on Sunday, congrats to both Tiz and yourself well a great show.

Thanks. That was the first of my new theme.

I had a good time.

 

One thing that stuck in my mind was a couple of young men in self-powered wheelchairs that couldn't have had an easy time moving around as the aisles were narrow.
