Alright.. it seems everyone and their dog is making threads about going to cons. So here's my little contribution. Went to the Winnipeg Comic Con with the usual lowered expectations. Run in a hotel basement that felt like I was in Hades devil.gif frickin' hot in the place.. classy establishment with a strip joint connected to it 27_laughing.gif

First, I just want to say I meet Lazyboy from the forums and he was a geniune kool kat.. nice guy all round and great to chat with. thumbsup2.gif We ended up hanging out at the same booth where there was some decent stuff. I did see one chick dressed as Supergirl but didn't know if she was a fangirl at the con or just the entertainment from next door on a break confused.gif

Quickly scanned the floor for hi grade horror, or at least with nice eye appeal. Being Winnipeg, there was none makepoint.gif So I decided to change gears for today only and look for books with my favourite Bronze age artist, Neal Adams and a few 12 cent DC books with great eye appeal. Here's my booty I walked away with ...

 

A sweet hi grade copy of DC Special # 26

A couple of great WW bondage covers to satisfy my sick fantasies tongue.gif

I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would buy Lois Lane...(but I also never thought I'd be shacking up with Greggy in a hotel either 893whatthe.gif ) my excuse for the Lois Lanes... yeahok.gif it's Neal Adams acclaim.gif

Hey - Lois Lanes are cool, and they are good reads - it's simply amazing how they can tell the same story over and over again. If you decide you don't want them, there is a ready audience for resale!!! headbang.gif
