Glad you started off slow. Great cover - and the bonus sigs in the UPC box are a nice touch.

Yep, the "chemical toy fair" that only seems to post on facebook without an actual website. It was ok but pretty slim pickins. It was in what used to be northcross mall. $4 to get in, and I was out within an hour. There was one dealer with comics, but they didn't really have much.

 

I was at the last one. More than 1 dealer with books then and I grabbed a few. It's kind of odd how it is publicized for sure.

In honor of the nostalgia v. aesthetics debate, I've added my last new piece of 2011 to my CAF. Generally, my choices are weighted heavily toward aesthetics, but this particular piece has both for me. I'm a huge fan of Sid Greene's inking on Dillin's Silver and Bronze Age work, and I grew up as a DC geek, reading JLA, Adventure, World's Finest, etc., in the '60s and '70s. This page stood out in my memories, so I couldn't believe it when I actually landed it. An iconic early Bronze Age image of Black Canary on this JLA 73 page:
