Fan Expo Dallas 2022 Comic Con With Pics. 1 1

[Monster's Lair Comics]

We had a great show!  Thank you to all who stopped by!  We were able to pick up some nice stuff for the shop and future shows. We sold a decent selection of box stock and wall books. 
 

We are looking forward to next year!  We re-upped the same booth space!

It was good to see you guys, you were my 1st stop

Pretty much. That area seems good for you, high traffic, but people can stop without holding up the flow.

Mini-me ended up with a signed book from Garrett Gunn and I am waiting on a double signed print and a sketch commission. 

Fiancé got a new wired wrapped stone ring of some sort and a couple prints from a local artist friend of mine.

As a family we got a really cool Lenticular print of Giancarlo Esposito inscribed “to the house of EL” (mine and hers last initials)

I literally didn’t look for a single comic.  There were some I wanted to browse for too.

We packed so much into that 9hrs and I wouldn’t change a thing.

I'll take that one. No, not that one, the one next to it. No, the other one. Behind that one. On the left. One row below. Oh, it's not a newsstand. Never mind.

You guys have a great space at that show. Looking forward seeing y’all at the Cowtown show in October.

Great thread, thanks for sharing. Looks like you all had a good time!

from the recent pics, looks like a more normal crowd than the first set of pics. Great to hear sales were good @Monster's Lair Comics

As normal I didn’t look at dealers much,  I did run by and say hi to @mysterio and @Monster's Lair Comics. Was great seeing them.

 

Great seeing you too, thanks for stopping by!

Really great show this year, but I am just now feeling halfway human again. Completely exhausting but worth the 12-14 hour days. Here are a few pics of the booth, random shots I took, and the fantastic commission I got from Tony Harris.

I'm glad there were more pics of the crowds posted too

I arrived early Friday,  which I'll admit was a light day, but it got going later.

The cosplay was out in force, speaking of which they had a star wars walk down the red carpet, complete with theme music over the main intercom.

There were enough chairs in the rest area, bathrooms were consistently being cleaned and restocked. There was a band playing guitar, I took a pic of the stage earlier on, pretty cool.

It was hot as an jalapeno armpit outside, though inside was nice and cool, even for the crowds.

Plenty of families, and the con goers seemed interested in the merch. I believe there was an advertised cgc facilitator and etc.

Time was of the essence for me, as I try to do it all quickly. I waited on my brother a long time, as his had to do with lines. All in all it was fun and enjoyable.

Next year it is again in June, I'm only hoping that the weather somewhat cooperates

Would be nice if it were a bit cooler. I'm glad you were cool inside, I felt like I was sweating for about 90% of Friday and Saturday, even after cooling off from setup.

The crowd was nuts on Saturday, my pic of the celebrity area that is up a few posts doesn't even do it justice. Couldn't walk down in that area.

Ya I had photo ops on Saturday so I know what you're talking about for sure. It was cool if you got a bit away from the crowds, but bearable for me and my guest; although, I DID think to bring water and we were able to sit and zone out if needed. Work and stress? For you and all our sakes Lord willing itll be cooler next time.

Its Texas with a big blue sky but last couple of weeks hardly any clouds at all, just no relief!

Lol it got real on Saturday hahaha.

Mark your calendars, June 9-11, 2023 in the same room of the convention center.

Thanks to all sharing the pics.  This and OAFCON were the only shows I really attended regularly (live in OKC).  When my daughter was younger, we went every year.  I tried to make her a comic pop culture nerd but I failed.  She is 25 now and leads a productive, non-geeky life as a speech pathologist 

It was show - not too big but big enough to get that major con feel. It has been years since I attended - health problems, gas prices, caring for a parent limits my ability to attend so this was a welcome thread for me.

Ok it wasn't just me that thought it was warm in there, warmer than the last couple of them.

guess then I'm alone, I thought with the "crowds" being lager last year or most of the time, that it wasn't so bad.

Yet I rode the car in to take the train, so part of my trip was outside awaiting public transit. I'll say that was hotter.

How was overall parking, and or that experience?  

I'm hoping not too bad!

They had a really easy entrance open like 5-ish minutes walk from the parking lots.  Then it was a trek inside to get to the event hall but it was inside at that point.

We took 2 cars and parked next to each other.  Then went we left me and the in-law to be went and nabbed the cars and picked up the ladies and kiddos.

It was rather easy and uneventful, which was quite nice since we were all EXHAUSTED by then.
