What a wonderful show! These were my favorites. I don't have the history that many of you seem to have with Jon Berk but it was really spectacular to see these beautiful books. I made sure to bring my kids to see works of art that they don't often see.

Is it the just lighting or the angle of the camera, or is there a slight dust shadow on the edge of this Wonderworld 3?

Nevertheless, still an absolutely stunning copy of this key Fox book and now sharing the top spot on the CGC census with the Allentown copy of this issue.  (thumbsu

The exhibit was set up in the reception area and one other small room.  Given the crowd and the lighting it was very hard to get decent pictures of the books.

To me the most impressive thing on display was the OA to the cover of Pep 30.  It looked as fresh and clean and bright as it would if it was a modern tribute piece done last week. Perhaps it was professionally cleaned at some point, but it's just stunning.

It was an uncanny and unbelievable experience. Jon Berk is such a warm and friendly person, and was happy talking to anyone and everyone. 

I also got to meet and spend some time with Junkdrawer, Squeggs, and ComicJack, all wonderful people and Gentlemen Scholars. 

I'll post a few additional photos soon. Here's one that needs no introduction.
