[TheWatcher]

Anyone familiar with this fanzine guide that can chime in on its accuracy, or lack thereof, on pricing and info presented?

This book looks interesting, I wonder if there will be a preview edition in SD? I have collected some of this stuff for years and it is hard not only to know what is out there but to even understand the volume.

 

Wish the site had a preview page.

[cshepard81]

I pre-ordered it. I don't have a lot of experience collecting fanzines, but I thought--like the Photo-Journals--that this would expose me to some new stuff to collect. I'll be happy to post my thoughts when I get it.

[TheWatcher]

Yeah, I ordered it, too Hopefully the prices will be somewhat accurate, but as long as the info is I'll be happy

[greggy]

I ordered it.

 

I better get it.

 

Or you are in trouble.

Since when are you into fanzines? Or did you order it hoping it won't arrive so you can take it out on me at WW Chicago

I was just going through the SDCC program guide and noticed that a number of the founders of comic fandom will be in attendance and featured at a variety of panels. Anyone at the show with an interest in this sort of thing might want to check it out. The Lupoffs will be in attendance, I don't recall them being at this show before so that might prove interesting.

[TheWatcher]

Wish they did something like that at Chicago Would love to get them to sign their respective biography in Schelly's "Founders of Comic Fandom"

[50YrsCollctngCmcs]

Great idea, I may do that. Schelly is doing some panels too.

[TheWatcher]

I you do, please post pics as that would be great to see those wonderful pioneers of fandom. God knows they won't be with us forever

Will the Fanzine Price Guide be distributed by any dealer or publisher at SDCC or just wait until Wizard Chicago?

[TheWatcher]

Well, according to the publisher's website, they had set up at the Pittsburg Comic Con and the guide was solicited through Diamond in April. There's a chance they may be at other cons during the season, but who knows

[50YrsCollctngCmcs]

I didn't see the fanzine price guide at the con. I did go to two panels, the first an interview with Bill Schelly. That was interesting and he shared his experiences on putting together his books. Nice guy and a real unassuming personality.

 

The second interview was with some of the founding members of fandom including, Maggie Thompson, Pat and Lupoff, Bill Schelly, Roy Thomas, Richard Kyle and Jean Bails (Jerry's wife.) This was a fascinating panel with many stories from the early days of fandom.

 

I brought a copy of the Comic Book Book and had Maggie Thompson and the Lupoff's sign it. Sorry no pictures although I did assist with manning the video camera for a bit!! Wonder where all those videos go anyway?

Sounds like a great panel. I hope the video shows up on youtube or something.
