Recycling the 2015 thread for the 2016 show since the home page link still applies.

I've never been to a Walker/Stalker con, but I was thinking of setting up as a dealer selling comics. Looking for some input from anyone who went to any of their shows, and what the dealer room looked like (t shirt vendors/comic dealers/ ect). Any help would be appreciated!

I heard that vendors sell mostly horror/TWD stuff, a couple TWD comics, but its not your typical comic con.

I was at the Chicago Walker Stalker Con last year and the dealer area was really small. I don't believe there where any comic dealers, if there were they weren't really selling comics. I think I saw a vendor selling a handful of comics but for the most part people were selling poster, pictures, weapons and other odd and ends. One guy had a both selling Funko Pop Vinyls and some Walking Dead figures.

I wonder how a dealer would do if they just brought Walking Dead trades and hardcovers. No comics, just books.

I can tell you from the experience of a couple of dealer friends who set up at SyFan in Rosemont a few years ago. They did terrible.

I think the difference is with something like SyFan, you have a huge variety of what you'd be selling. For this, I'd just bring copies of the available trades and hardcovers. Maybe a small box of individual issues.

 

I wouldn't touch any other zombie or Kirkman book -- just Walking Deads.

About 40 days away!

All Navy Pier located shows have crappy dealer's rooms.

A month away!

These are the 2016 dates (I just recycled the old thread since the home page link in the first post still works), assuming anyone still cares about zombies by then.
