Motor City Comic Con 2019 Report 0

Well, the show was bigger in footprint and I was pleasantly surprised. That said, all my go to's were at Megacon. No Dale, no Bob Storms. But Langes and Big Ben's were there so I got some nice books at great prices. Many are run fillers. The Iron Man was a nostalgia purchase, though in beautiful shape! I had Iron Man #11 as a kid and I thought it was special as it was from the 60's... Got rid of it over 30 years ago in college when I had quit from 1984 - 1994. Same goes for Daredevil #181. Bought it new but got rid of it in 1986. 

My only critiques of the show is that they aren't as organized as they could be. Advanced ticket holders waited in way too long of a line. But if you were buying tickets that day, you walked right in. I'll gladly pay $5 more to not have to wait in a 1 hour line outside. The other note was Motor City Comics itself. What I saw of their presence was what they used to bring to their local Saturday show. Kind of pathetic if this is "your" show. I usually find them over-priced but have bought a handful every now and then. This time, I was thinking of giving them some business, but their booth was nothing special. They were probably at Megacon is my guess. 

Overall though, fun and I checked off a lot of my Want List. Thanks for letting me share.

At this one, I thought about what is was like in the late 90’s at this show. The lines were shorter, easier to approach celebrities and there were more dealers. I kind of miss that. But on the flip side, there is cooler, unique artwork. 

I remember walking up to James Doohan, Frank Gorshin, Bernie Wrightson...  No lines. I regret not getting Wrightson’s autograph or a signed print.
