Heroes 2009 is in the books until next year. I went all three days and had a great time. I only purchased one book, which I will scan and post later. The crowds were good all three days. Friday, as expected, was a little lite; Saturday was crowded, but not so that you couldn't get around, and today was busier that I expected. I met several board members and enjoyed talking with everyone. I went back today just to take some pictures to share with everyone. I must say that Sheldon Drum puts on a first class con. Hats off to him!!! :golfclap:

 

Here are some pix that I took today...

GF - speaking as a non-collector (but I always liked them) I though it was a lot of fun. I bought stuff too, watched a grown man cry getting a tattoo, and people watched a lot of stuff! I had fun watching all the people in costume! The Jack N. Joker, Heath L Joker, storm troopers, Iron Man, Batman, Superman, Supergirl, Ghostbusters, Cptn America, Klingons, and so much more. I think anyone would have fun, regardless of interest in comics! There is so much more there to do than just that! For the record, I was perfectly willing to sit and read while he shopped some more. He was just worried about me and my health issues. These are some pictures I took myself.

This is Rob, a friend of a good friend of mine, they were both working the Monstore booth. This pic was his idea, came out great! He also had a great Batman costume.

My only regret, I didn't get a pic of Iron Man for my boys.

I have not been to a "big" show since 2002. What a great time. I had a ball. I no longer look for raw books, unless its Peanuts and their appearances, its tough for me to go to a show to find high grade Adams books. Although, hopefully I get an upgrade via Dale Roberts on one of my Adams books. I went not expecting much other than to look, oogle at the silver and GA stuff and just have fun window shopping/looking.

 

What I found was that I got lost in the creators / writers / artists area of the con. I can't say if Charlotte has a large area for this but there seemed to be a huge number and a very wide variety. I got a great series of books for my kids and some action figures, I found someone to do some drawings of my kids (luckily carried pics with me) as characters. My boy will be drawn as a jedi and my little girl as a fairie. Can't wait to see them. Some of the business cards and little drawings of dragons and such were a big hit when I got home as well. So I came away with one upgrade book for my collection and lots of stuff for the kids.

 

Got to meet Joe Jusko, Don Rosa and Robert Beerbohm as well. I got to meet Watson and Arexcrooke who I had to thank for the Mass copies tip! And also saw one of the neatest ideas I have seen by my favorite artist. Seems Neal Adams took a cover and got the outline in black and white, HoS #? (the doll maker) and hand colored / inked it as a recreation type. Really tempted to get one.

 

Good time for me!

I can't remember them all but here they are: Bill ( traded and bought with, super nice guy!), Rick with his awesome books (and just a great down to earth guy ), Arex, Nik ( he bought a nice double cover FF from me :) ) , Joeypost, and a few others that I just can't remember the names, sorry!

 

Had a good time at the show, and did a really nice trade, I'll post a pic of what I picked up tomorrow evening. :)
