Does anyone have a list of dealers that might be at the show? These types of shows are typically great for collecting graphic novels and I wanted to make sure that would be the case here as well.

[Kevin Boyd]

We're still selling tables, so I won't have a list from the office until the week before the convention. However, I think the list will end up being similar to our last show exhibitor list.

[BEACHCOMBER]

Do you know if CGC will be at the show for Signature-Witness?

 

Thanks.

 

 

[Kevin Boyd]

No, as far as I know there won't be anyone from CGC there. If you or others have a lot of books you would like to do for SS, you could contact SS Director Joe Pierson about having CGC arrange for a Contract Witness in attendance.

[Kevin Boyd]

Two weeks from today!

[Kevin Boyd]

Red Robin and Soulfire artist MARCUS TO will be at the show!

[Kevin Boyd]

One week from today!

 

Dealer list will be posted as soon as I get it from the office...

Kevin, other than Wes Hagan, do you know which of these are comic dealers that will have actual comic stock at the show? (I know Pendragon is a dealer, but I'm not sure if he'll have stock or if he's just have TPBs and hard covers.)

Fantastic turnout and a good time all around.

 

I'm still in shock at what I scored today... a rare first edition copy of Frederic Wertham's SEDUCTION OF THE INNOCENT with the dustjacket, colophon and the bibliography intact!
