Wow, quite a list. Congrats on a great show.

 

I find it encouraging that a comiccon in London could be so successful.

 

Any idea what attendance was for the show?

I notice very little GA sales in your list; is that because there weren't many

GA buyers or is it because your inventory doesn't include much GA?

Was the show mostly about US comics or was there some focus on English

and European comics?

 

I carry next to zero GA, hence the lack of sales. There was GA for sale, but I'll leave it to other buyers/dealers to comment on its popularity.

 

Attendence was over 8,000...close to capacity.

 

Yes, focus was heavily in favour of US comics. The show was designed to be all about US comics and their creators. :cloud9:

I'm particularly impressed with the amount of slabs that you sold, Nick since the UK always traditionally seemed to favour raw books. :applause:

Great report Nick, I feel like I missed the event of the year. The pictures were great - DAMN I miss London :makepoint:

 

So pleased you did so well at the con.

 

Next year looks like a must - let's hope the wife removes her thumb and allows me some pocket money :facepalm:

What I want to know is, who is the guy that looks a bit like me holding the CSS 22? As he clearly seems to be wearing a fat suit! :facepalm:

 

None of the pics taken that evening were particularly flattering. :tonofbricks:

This thread is worthless without stories of sandwiches. :sumo:

 

Agreed.

 

Don't they serve turkey in the UK?

 

:insane:

 

I wish I'd taken a photo of Chandler's face (DWC) when Chespirito handed him a cornish pasty stating it was "The UK version of a hamburger".

 

Utter bemusement...And it almost made up for the hour long wait in line to sub my GFT's

 

Back On Topic.

 

Great thread Nic. Glad the sales exceeded your expectations. I'm already saving for LSCC 2013 :whee:
