Here's an update from Derek Woywood, the promoter of the show:

 

Looks like the weather will be on our side this weekend. A high of 46-48 and if there is any precipitation it will arrive later in the day. It will be the warmest day this week and into next week.

 

Paul Merolle, CEO of Toon Tumblers is again making the trek down from Massachusetts just to do our show. I know this is exciting news as Paul does VERY well at our medium sized show. Bags and bags of his merchandise leave our show. Besides the usual pint sized glasses adorned with your favorite comic book characters they have expanded into other product lines.

 

Our main show room is bursting at the seams with a packed house. We have too many dealers so a few will be setup in the hallway just before you go into the entrance door of the ballroom.

 

Dealers include-

Collectors Comics

The Encounter from Northeast PA

Adventure Planet

Showcase Comics (two locations in the Philly suburbs)

Gary Platt from Northern NJ

Basement Comics (Overstreet Advisor!)

Bob Cook

Battlefield Comics/Jim Montgomery

All-American Comics/Gene Carpenter

America's Most Wanted Collectibles from Williamsport, PA

Welcome Back Comics

Dave Bowen

Cards, Comics and Collectibles (The Baltimore area favorite store and promoter of the annual Baltimore Comicon). Mark should be bringing some copies of his Star Wars variant cover with artwork by Frank Cho!

Mike & Connie

John Rodemaker

Steve Rusk

Mike DeCarl

Stormwatch Comics

Tim Quicksell

The Comic Book Kid

Bunkys Comics

Packcracker Ted

The Walsh Brothers

Effin Comics from Drexel Hill, PA. We are proud to welcome Tom Leavy as this will be his first time at our show even though he has been an ardent supporter of ours since he opened his store years ago.

Bob Fox

Bill Parisho

Colin O'Malley

Classic Collections from Pottstown,PA

Paul Zerman

 

Along with guests Toon Tumblers, Bob Gerkin, Paris Cullins and Darren Auck.

 

See you this Sunday (from 10 AM to 4 PM)

Yeah, I headed out early this morning, made it 4 blocks to the Wawa, grabbed some breakfast and headed back home. The road was ice covered with water, and I was sliding all over the place. I'm glad I did, because there are accidents everywhere. I hope everyone who did venture out made it safely.

Just got back. It was definitely hairy getting there. Thankfully my buddy drives a truck in Philly so he knew how to avoid all the trouble.

 

Pretty good stuff. Didn't buy too much. But happy with what I got. I will definitely be at the next one with a bit more of a focus. And I definitely know which ridiculously overpriced tables to avoid.
