Gem City Comic Con April 5th 2009 Dayton Ohio

[W3r3]

Hi Fans,

I'm Jesse Noble, the promoter of the 2009 Gem City Comic Con. We Gem City Comics, Fearless Readers Comics, Bell Book and Comic, and all our sponsors, want to thank you. We can't think of a better way to thank you than to bring you the biggest best show we know how. So mark your calenders for Sunday April 5th 2009.

 

Over the next few weeks I will be sending you detailed announcements about all the great things we have going on. For right now, I want to give you the highlights.

 

Chris Claremont, the Uncanny X-men writer and comic book legend, will be here.

Frank Brunner, master artist for Dr.Strange, Man-Thing and co-creator of Howard the Duck, will be here.


Dan Raspler, DC editor of your favorite comics including Kingdom Come, will be here.


Don Kramer, artist for JSA, Detective Comics and others, will be here.

 

We have the largest "Independent Creator" rooms you will ever see at a one day show packed with the best creators the mid-west has to offer.

 

This year we have increased the size of our dealer room to include over 120 tables of comics, toys, cards and all manner of collectables. It is by far the largest dealer room at any one day show in the mid-west.

 

Our gaming tournament has become the prime tournament in town thanks in part to our great sponsor Bell Book and Comic.

 

I promised you the highlights but it is just the tip of the iceberg. I still need to tell you about our panel groups and our other feature artist and our VIP TICKET PACKAGES and all the other great activities we have for you.

 

Check out our website at www.gemcitycomiccon.com for details or just wait for next update in a few days.

 

Till Next Time,
