The promoter is saying the largest dealer participation ever. Over 100 dealer tables!

 

Should be something for everybody.

Maybe a few others, I'll have to check

any Double Covers?

Show was kind of slow............... the promoter said attendance was off over half.

 

I think gas prices may have started having an effect?

Plus I'm sure the crazy weather this weekend may have had something to do with it.

 

But I had a great time (and it is for charity)

 

Good buying show............picked up a lot of neat books from a LCS that set up including a very solid Showcase #17

 

I saw Charles Bond and Kerry Gilley which I don't see very much. Always good browsing their inventory. Bought a nice solid Ozzie and Harriet #2 from Charles for myself.

And I also had fun hanging out with David (Comics-n-ERB) and David Shankle.

 

Bought a few choice items from both of them.

 

And we had a great pizza buffet Saturday night.

[capt_comics]

Almost forgot.................I got a super sketch of Adam Strange from Bob McLeod

[Comics-n-ERB]

Yep, had a good time hanging with my old time buddies Rick and Shankle!

 

I had a pretty good show selling some keys and golden age books. Some high lights include Iron Fist 14, All Flash 14, 15.

 

Rick is right though, attendance was really soft, not near what I thought it was going to be.

Great sketch!

 

Glad you survived the weather, your part of the country just got pounded.

Thanks Dave

 

Yes, Charlotte did escape the worst..............the Raleigh area got most of the super severe stuff

 

We were in a bad storm going over Sams Gap at the NC/TN line (about 3800 feet elevation) on I-26 Friday night. Pretty scary ride.
