szelim's NYCC '09 photo report

[szelim]

Got back in town today after a weekend at NYCC. It was my first really big con (never been to SDCC or a WW), and it was quite an eyeful. Tons of stuff to see that will never be done at a small show like Pittsburgh. Plus tons of giveaways and free sketches to boot. It was such a blast to be there!

 

These are some pics I took during my two days there.

The obligatory shot of the long line to get in.

 

 

A pic of DC's booth on Friday. It was insanely more crowded on Saturday.

 

Cast members of "Dead Like Me". I'm really glad they're bringing this show back.

 

The Radical panel. That's Jim Steranko with the silver hair.

Some nurses resuscitating me (it was crowded on Saturday).

 

 

Skrull judges.

 

The Zenescope girls.

 

Me in a cloning booth. Promo for "Forbidden Science" on Cinemax.

 

Wolverine groupies

 

Detective27Kid and GreatEscape.

 

Some comic book no one ever heard of.

 

[szelim]

Lots of people on costumes both days but especially so on Saturday, the day of the costume contest. I never found out who one, but I really like the Predator.

Thx for the pics. Are the Action #1 and ASM #1 9.4 being previewed for the next Comicconnect auction?

Yes, they were at ComicConnect's booth, under lock and key.

Back home with the stack of freebies I picked up at the show. Like I have time to read all this.

 

I won the Hercules and Caliber HCs in a raffle along with a signed framed Arthur Suydam poster, although I had to ditch the poster because it was way too cumbersome to carry to the dinner and back onto the subway.

Great pictures! Thank you so much for posting them! Wish I could have been there.

Some comic book no one ever heard of.

 

Saw these both at the show + was in awe to say the least!!!!! the census doesn't even show any 6.0 Action Comics #1.

the census doesn't even show any 6.0 Action Comics #1.

Must be a newly graded copy + we'll see it in the next census update. Finding ANY unrestored copy is a big deal, so this amounts to a huge discovery.

[Claudio]

I am in awe just looking at it on my computer!

who was selling the action 1?!

[nearmint]

There are two threads about it in the Gold forum. It's in Comicconnect's next event auction. The copy hasn't changed hands in the last 57 years.
