All American Comic Con 7 - Warren, Ohio - July 10th

[1Cool]

There is a nice small 1 day comic con coming up next weekend. This Con always brings in a nice mix of sellers and always has 1 big name artist. This year its James O'Barr of Crow fame. I've been shut out in terms of selling at this one the last couple years but I always go since it's a good buying Con. And if nothing else its a treat to go get a O'Barr sig in a small hall and its only $5 to get in.

I'll be there from 10-noon. Got to run early but I'll be buying like a fiend.

Only was able to stay for a couple hours but was able to spend a few hundred on books so not too bad. Unfortunately pretty much the exact same group of sellers as the last few local Cons so no fresh meat. But definitely a nice well run Con and you can't beat the $5 cover price.

Here is my loot of the Con.

Nice haul !

 

Didn't get there to 12:30, by then it was packed. Picked up a few more PHMs including this TTA :

 

 

And grabbed Strange Worlds 4 & 5 to complete that set :

 

 

Got to see Nelson & his son again (3rd show in a row!).

 

Try again next Sunday at the Buckeye Comic Con in Columbus.

I was there for a couple hours and it was the same sellers as most local shows. I was really hoping we would see a few different guys. It seems like it had more comic vendors last year.

I showed up around 10:00. It is my first con since moving back to OH a week or so ago. Good to see guys I remember from 20+ years ago. Met 1Cool as we both looked through a book. Picked up a low grade Wilbur #5 (1st Katy Keene) and some other golden age books. Not bad for my first show back.

 

Reminisced with Greg (the show promoter) as I found some of the record keeping for sales I made in the 1990s. I sold him an Amazing Fantasy #15...for $500. Hope I do better this time around in OH.

Nice meeting you Shevvy. You and bc will have to compete for all the old pre code books at the local cons - just leave all the more modern drek for me:). Was definitely a trip to have you come up while we were flipping thru long boxes and ask "are you 1cool? I recognize you from pictures". Superstar!

Nice books! Not sure if I'm going to make it down to Columbus next week but I'll be selling at the Con in Strongsville next month. Sounds like it will be a good show.
