CA Science Center--Marvel Superheroes Display

[mlovest]

OK, so the family was in town and we headed to the CA Science Center. The Marvel Superheroes Exhibit was to be the key attraction for the little ones. It was pretty cool and my little ones were having a blast checking out all the neat displays and playing on the exhibits. Then we exited the formal portion which led to a small but interesting comic display area. Mostly Dr Strange stuff, but interesting. Then the route to the exit took us through the little store of Marvel stuff. Lots of great T-shirts, games, books, stuffed superheoes, etc., but guess what?

 

No comics! Not one new comic for sale, period. You would think Marvel would be trying to get kids and youngsters excited about buying a comic or two, but no comics at all. A number of reprint books and CDs, but no comics. WHy would they have such a major exhibit in a high traffic science center in LA, but no cimics?

Yep. I took my kids there a couple of months ago and wondered the same thing. They were giving away some free trading cards and my son asked. The teenager giving out the cards gave him a puzzled look.

That would be my collection. I have a few comics on display there, including some CGC books, my Strange Tales custom covers and some foreign prints. So there are a few comics to be seen.

Sweet collection.

Very nice, well done, nice run of stuff.

 

However, I have to write...personally, I would NEVER allow an exhibit, convention, or anything else like, to keep my collection of goodies over night, or longer...no way kiddies.

 

that picture of the book bending against the left outside wall of the cabinet, is down right...horrific

Related, and unrelated, the California State Fair is doing a superhero theme this year, along with appropriate displays, etc. I'm local, so I'll be there, probably on the day they have the demolition derby.
