Wizard World Chicago -- August 20-23, 2015

Thanks

 

I was being facetious. No one knows when it will close down. But the last several years, there have been big chunks of the weekend where on-site was closed due to massive volume at show opening.

Did our mags get graded yet?

I enjoyed the show last year, and there were lots of great books to choose from. I don't remember seeing any Original Art dealers last year though. Does anyone know of any attending this year? The Wizard website doesn't have a dealer list on their website yet.

Anthony's Comic Book Art is there every year ...

Bechara Maalouf is usually there with a wall table selling vintage comics and original art next to Tomorrow's Treasures (Richie M). Great artist/inker alley too.

Thanks for the responses guys. I must have missed Anthony's last year. I know he usually does set up in Chicago.

 

I think back about 5 or 6 years ago, and many other OA dealers used to set up in Chicago like Romitaman, Coollines, Albert Moy, etc. I wonder why we don't see them there any longer.

My guess would be that Chicago, while one of the best cons for buying and selling comics, may not be so for OA

You are probably right. I'd just like to see more of an OA presence in the Chicago area someday. That said, I agree WW Chicago has been a great show for comic books, and has been for many years.

Like you mentioned, a few years ago they had the largest assortment of OA dealers that I can remember. I looked through a bunch of their inventory and saw pages for sale from $50 to 150K (a Ditko Strange Tales splash). Not sure why one show is good for OA dealers and another isn't

No, but you can use your ticket next year or at Alamo City.

Discounted price for Wizard Chicago's 4 day pass is $95 or $40 (I believe) for the 1/2 day Thursday is open to the public.

I don't see Harley on this Chicago/Rosemont vendor booth location list unless he is sharing space with Terry's Comics?

Artists, inkers, media guests, wrestlers and prop cars <3 can also be located on that link.

 

 

[TheWatcher]

My guess is that the list is fluid and dealers, etc will be added as we get closer to the start of the con

[aardvark88]

Angelo Watcher is correct. Harley can be found at 703B along the wall, CGC at booth 401, HA.com at 419, Dale Roberts 801, and many other quality vendors. (thumbs u
