Dragon Con: a good place to buy older comics?

[NewtSamson]

Is Dragon Con in Atlanta a good place to find silver age stuff or is it a 50 cent box low grade modern paradise.

I'd rather it be a good place to get old books.

The Bad is its not been pushed as a comic show so dont expect more than a handful of comic dealers and none of the bigger players attend The good news its one of the funnest shows to attend and the comic dealers that do set up usually are hard pressed into some good discounting to make up for the lack of comic buyers.

Warren Ellis and Carmine Infantino are big enough for me to be there. Actually, Warren Ellis was enough for me to pick up the airplane tickets.

Yes they have been getting some decent artists to come and because there will not be a big comic fanboy crowd you should have lots of time to chat with them Last year they had Steranko! That was fun chatting with him and he is quite the character almost larger than life!

That's good to hear. Having been to so many Wizards, often-times, it's relief enough just getting to the front of the line after waiting and waiting and waiting. Ellis should have tons to say considering how many daily emails I receive from him after signing up to Bad Signals.

You should get plenty of time The comic guys are to the right of the elevators in a small room away from the main dealer room Hopefully they will add some more before the show goes off.
