Patriot6 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Stunning, congrats! Must have taken the fellow quite a few years to assemble that collection. Not something you are going to find in one place ever again most likely. Buy, buy, buy! Why is he selling? Senormac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Steranko's booth babe was wearing a silver jumpsuit and she sold me a mini Chandler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Steranko and Stan Lee were at the 2 day Edmonton cons about 25 years ago when HumanTorch Dave and I had a full head of hair.

Popular Post Artboy99 Posted October 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) There were quite a few Kirby signatures on books, magazines and for all I know possibly even some comics but I didn't see those. I wasn't taking pictures at that time of the quick room dig. Later Dave suggested I take a picture of something and I asked the owner for permission to do so and he was ok with it so I began taking pictures. We ran out of time as we had to drive back home. I did take a picture of this pin collection ( that was strangely omitted by Dave...wonder why that is? ) and it is signed by Kirby: Edited October 11, 2017 by Artboy99 Larryw7, littledoom, F For Fake and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
