You know it would have been Spiderpurds or Parkerpurds.  

I think I'm going to change it to Spiderpurds even though it looks like I misspelled "spiderturds"...  Anything beats "comicquant".  I should've at least said it out loud a few times before hitting submit.

Day 1 was great...both selling and buying!

Bring on Saturday!!

[mysterio]

Any updates?

Ended up going on Saturday, was there from 9:15-4:00 with a break for lunch.  Great crowd as the day went on, especially after noon.  While I'll always want more comic sellers, there was a nice mix for all interests.  Felt that the flow of people went well, but I admit my focus was just on the comic sellers' alley.

Spent a lot of time at Dale's setup (hands down the best of the show) and came away with some great looking books.

No reservation at all about attending next year.

Thanks, had no intention of grabbing anything other than the Avengers, but the Hulk was just calling my name!

This was the 4th year for the Indiana Comic Con and it was the best one yet!  A big thanks to the everyone involved putting it together...great job!

Easter weekend was just fine for a comic show....Sunday was a little slower than in the past but that was to be expected being Easter....maybe end at 4:00 on Sunday instead of 5:00.

Already looking forward to ICC 2018!!

Sounds like Dale was the centerpiece dealer at the show.  Dale - was it a good show sales wise considering the Holiday weekend?

Lol....Dale is one of the best comic dealers in the country and at any show will probably have the best material you will want!

From one of the non-centerpiece guys w/4 booths of vintage material....the show was fantastic.  Being on Easter weekend had no effect at all with the exception of a slower Sunday (expected)....we've set up at each of the Indiana Comic Cons.

My business model is to sell to dealers and to the regular Joe....normally won't see many high grade or keys from me unless you have a dealer badge and get to me early.

Dale can give you his own review but judging from the crowd and my past experience with this convention....Indiana is a great place for a comic show....even on Easter weekend.

Awesome books Josh!  I've said it once and I'll say it a thousand times, that hulk is sweet.  It was good hanging out with you and the boy.  I'm smelling a tradition in the making!

It's definitely on my list of Cons to check out next year since it's not too far from Cleveland.  Glad to hear it was a successful show!

Yeah, the boy is already planning on next year.  "Make sure you clear your call schedule for next April," is what he told me last night.
