Terry O'neil and I spent quite a bit of time and money here. Check out his website. I would imagine a lot of this stuff is on there.

Most of this stuff came from box diving. So much great stuff gets overlooked because people are to lazy to look. Great haul. Love the Human Torch and Rangers.

Easy parking, crowds were minimal, prices were fair in most cases. Something for every one and a very enjoyable show. Everything SDCC isn’t. Talked to quite a few people who have given it up and go here instead. Not the Gaslamp but the area has lots of good eateries and stuff to do. Send the wife and kids to Disneyland while you go to the show. Saw s lot of boardies and lots of smiles. This is a very recommended midsize show. Glad to have it here and look forward to next year. Any body else go? Feel free to post your photos and observations here. Great report, thanks for posting. I've never gone to Wonder Con. This is a con I want to go to, along with ECCC. At the moment I have Thur and Sun tickets for SDCC. I probably won't go -- although if I do I might just go for Thur and soak in an immersive comic experience. Frankly it may depend if I need the miles to make 1K on United. Otherwise I'm not sure what my next con will be in 2018. In started with a bang with Terry's con, but then I had a work conflict with ECCC and couldn't go. Often I go to WW Philly in May because it's close to where I live, but it's such a lame con at most I might go just for the day (if at all). Anyway, sorry for the rambling, I just keyed on your comment that this might be your last con for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one is on my bucket list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should definitely go to Baltimore. It is a great con for comics. And while you're there, go someplace and get Maryland crabs. You will then realize that your CA dungeness crabs are a pale imitation (although I concede that dungeness crabs sauteed in garlic is pretty freaking awesome). For me, the Balt con always seems to conflict with travel. But I agree it's a great con for comic collectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've hit all the other big ones at least once but this one seems like one of the best ones for just buying old comics. One day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Going to get up real early for a few hours of junking tomorrow morning and then a day of Easter festivities with the family tomorrow.

I'm out 'hopping around' for Easter festivities but have my iPad. There is a Bugs Bunny Easter piece I wanted to share today, but it isn't in my iPad (I was able to Post the Hangman 3 today because I did). I will upload it when I get home later.

sagii Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 .....and just under the wire. Next year I'll have to start at midnight Easter to get more in. So this piece I got off eBay from a seller saying he was selling off estate 'junk'. He dated it circa 50's and I'd have to agree , seeing as a lot of Bugs items From this period used this image. Slightly tweaked here with Bugs holding a portrait. This folder/photo holder is titled 'My Visit With Bugs Bunny', I assume some retailers used this as an Easter promotion. It measures 6.5 x 8, and though yellowed a bit, it's not brittle and has nice colors in person. Inside was a photo of a kid obviously with the Easter Bunny(original owner?). Anyway creepy as some Easter Bunnys can be I didn't throw the picture away( seen too many Horror movies to know what can happen when you things like that ) Sqeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Since I'm pretty complete on pre-code horror, I've been picking up a lot of post-code Atlas horror and fantasy. I really like Bill Everett's post code covers a lot. This is one of the very few comics left from my original childhood collection. This one always grabbed my attention for some reason and is still one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Here are a bunch more of my favorite Everett covers in no particular order. Feel free to post yours and give me more to shoot for... 1950's war comics and PopKulture 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
