Best Con for comics?

[clarkkentdds]

I just got back from Wondercon...I've noticed fewer dealers (due to the expense of setting up and con fee - and ease of internet sales) but I do miss the good ol' days (San Diego Con in the early- mid 90s). What is currently the best con for number of comic dealers??? (Not just mass media and small press, toy dealers etc....)

Baltimore

Chicago

Big Apple

I would also add Philly to the list. I really like the Philly show, there is always good stuff there. I do like Baltimore better but Philly is good. Oh yea and San Deigo is nice.

This past show at Chicago was the best show I've ever been to in terms of the people there, the books available for sale, and the quality of the dealers in the room. Between Metropolis, Harley, Heroes & Dragons, and the thousands of other sellers, you could find just about everything you wanted. I held the nicest comic book that I will ever hold in my hands there (the Marvel Comics #1 CGC 9.4 Slight (P)).

 

The Chicago forum dinner flat out rocked, too. Great restaurant and tons of forumites and well-known non-forumites in attendance. And we had our own private room and private bar. Alan set the bar very high with last year's dinner.

What he said.

Ditto. I looked at comics and original art all day, saw the Heritage crew, and had a fantastic dinner with everyone. Chicago's a good place to be in August.
