Mr. Trimpe will be doing Q & A's at approx. Noon and 3 O'clock.

 

Everybody's welcome for a measly five bucks even tweedles and Nik in disguise. I will be checking for Adams Apples at the door. Special gift for board members not in disguise.

 

It's going to be a super show indicated by the tremendous amount of calls and email from newbies that we have received. The pictures will be up at monkeyhouseentertainment.com for those that can't make it this time.

 

The next Boston Comic Book Spectacular is April 13.

Good show! I had a good time and a bit of good fortune! It's always nice when you have James Payette, Ted Van Liew and Ron Johnson's stuff (among many others) to look through. My best score was a STRANGE SUSPENSE STORIES #19, coverless, for $4 to complete my collection. I just printed myself out a nice cover from a scan I had and I'm all set! Thanks, Ron J!

 

Herb Trimpe was nice, and seemed psyched that someone brought MONSTERS ON THE PROWL 17 for him to sign. I've always loved that cover... it turns out he does too.

 

It was pretty packed there too, so I'd say that comic collecting in Boston is in a pretty strong state right now.
