A little late to the party but a HUGE thank you to Peter and his family for letting a bunch of geeks invade for what was a wonderful evening. Great food, great friends, funnybooks.

From what I remember, up until about 9pm or so everything was going great. Parker was telling jokes, books were getting passed around, Zaid was drinking all the Stellas.

Then John Wise whipped out this...

...and after that everything is a little fuzzy for me.

I guess if I had to choose between this rag and a quarter pounder with cheese, I would go with your choice too ...

Richard, I showed your scan to my wife, and I'm sorry to report that she found no redeeming value whatsoever in that cover.

 

I explained to her that it's likely that she wasn't the target audience that the publisher had in mind for that particular book.

Don't worry. You kept your clothes on.

Thanks. That is so good to know. I was afraid I wouldn't get an invite next year.

Thanks Andy (thumbs u Each night on the drive home I would just stare at it before going to sleep. I kinda couldn't believe I had gotten it. I think it gets cooler every time I look at it.

Are you sure its not the Flashback edition?

The interior is in glorious full color!

 

I was set up next to Boyd Rowden (Black Cat Comics) at the show.

He happened to have a copy of the Alan Light reprint. It was pretty cool to set the two side by side.

Adam, thank you for putting together a "photo-history" of the event. It was a great time. I appreciate having had the opportunity to host such a wonderful group of collectors.

 

Peter

 

The pictures of Mr. Bedrock made me laugh. It's wonderful to see that even someone like him still can be knocked off his feet by a book.

 

RHG: since I have been very quiet about it for reasons that should be obvious, I wanted to say that the evening I spent with you guys a couple of years ago had a major impact on redefining my own interests. I can't thank you and the other guests enough for opening my eyes to a whole new area of collecting.

I am sure she is a wonderful person...but aren't you going to look at her in a little different light from this point forward?

The wise comic collector would ask a girl on the very first date what she thought of the cover of Silver Streak #6.
