Minnesota FallCon

[bobpfef]

There used to be a GREAT comic convention in Minneapolis in the early and mid-1980's. It was my first comic convention, I was 14, and I was in SHOCK at home much cool stuff could be found in one location. I remember talking to Jim Shooter and John Byrne. I met Matt Feazell. I bought a MT copy of DD 158 for $20 (BIG bucks for me). I saw a beat up copy of DD #1 that I just couldn't quite afford....

 

Anyway, good memories. I moved away, grad school, married, yadda yadda yadda and have now moved back and returned to comics. I see a flyer for this con in my local comic shop. Fallcon Guest List. It looks pretty cool and I think I will attend, but the guest list seems to me to be a little lightweight. Has anyone attending this con before. What is it like? I have a feeling it isn't anywhere near the level of those old Minneapolis Cons. Oh well. Should be fun anyway, I am going to take my boy to his first comic con

Yes, they used to be awesome. Now it's pretty much the same old people with one or two big names thrown in.

 

I'll be setting up a table there attempting to sell a bunch of my DCs. We'll see how it goes.
