Just wanted to announce another bonus we have at 2016 AMAZING ARIZONA COMIC CON on FRIDAY FEBRUARY 12-

 

We are bringing back FORCE FRIDAYS-

This isn't a raffle, this isn't a lottery-

Just buy a ticket and visit one of our scheduled Sponsored Artists from the Artist Alley.

Putting together promotions like this is a way of saying THANK YOU for the attendees. Great creators, fun panels, and FREE artwork- this should be a great combination for the comic fans out there.

 

(and yes, you can bring blank covers to get your Star Wars Sketches- great for CGC too!)

I am hoping to attend again this year. Jimmy, have you had any luck wooing any of the art dealers to set up at your con? Also being a old timer I love to see some more various artists from the GA, SA, BA attend. I realize you have to work with their schedules and it not as easy as it sounds.

 

Thanks for putting on some very good shows.

Ed Robertson- 602-741-9097

[JimmySJay]

Ed always has an impressive set-up at the convention. Sounds like there's a nice bunch of new stock here, which makes it always nice.

 

With Guests such as Liefeld, Claremont, Perez-

there should be a great opportunity to get your key Copper.bronze/modern books signed, and CGC'd.

[JimmySJay]

As for a selection of vintage comics-

Ed is great, and add Harley Yee, Comic Collectors Shop, Dan from Comics Cellar, Greg White there's a great base for Gold/Silver/Bronze/Copper. There's always a slew of modern dealers that should be bringing out their gems as well.

 

Happy Hunting!

[robocard]

Less than two weeks! Hope to see lots of you at the show this year.

There was a Groupon discount for the show a few weeks back, but sadly I can't find it now

[JimmySJay]

Groupon and other 3rd party ticket sellers usually end several weeks if not longer before the conventions. Those tickets are limited and once they are sold out, there are no more at those prices.

 

that said, general admission tickets and VIP Packages are still available from the box office, and for wall up sales.

ONE WEEK!

[srezvan]

You can save on fees by getting your tickets directly from the ticket office at the convention center. Just walk up any time they are open during the week.

[Rockyjo3]

When is Mcniven scheduled to do the floor sketches for VIPs? I didn't see anything scheduled when I looked at the programming

[edgerx]

I do have two passes for Saturday for $25 each. PM me if interested.

[Comicdey]
