I was with Jon Berk at SDCC long ago when we came upon this book (raw) at a dealer's booth. I held it in my hand first, yet felt the yearning of Jon behind me so he ended up with it. Big time congrat's, Jay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't visit Roys until 1977 or so. GB Love was there but I never talked to him or even Roy. Most of my comics were purchased from the Third Planet. I was at that show, a tallish 11 year old. Roy's shop is closed but he is still around. Third Planet is still open. The owner is an crotchety old dude who yells at kids for touching the comics. He inspired me to open a store where folks are treated with kindness. I owe him a lot. ThothAmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect I got a better deal than I would have just because I was the only one in the room when I showed up. There was a really bad accident out in front of the venue that stopped cars for several hours, unfortunately.

Sounds like the same guy that owned the place 35 years ago (he was about my age). He yelled at me because I put the Conans back in the wrong order. I tried to shop there while holding my 2 year old son. It was tough to do but his was the closest shop to the Medical Center. I went to the Hilton hotel for comic cons and a few other places for StarTrek conventions. I traded many of my DC comics to Harold Starbuck but didn't get much. I enjoyed the combined scifi-comics conventions and would have enjoyed going to the workshops if I had time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
