Happy New Year everyone! Let's get rolling ...

Oddly, the last time I posted on the CGC Forums was after I went to the Motor City Comic Con in May. Just went on the Friday with my kid. For comics, it was mainly local dealers who set up. Harley Yee had a booth but didn't see Harley. Todd Lange, one of my favourites, was listed in the program but couldn't find him on the floor at all. I normally check out Roger's booth (Collector's Zone) but was sad to learn in this thread that he'd passed away! Very friendly man whom I bought many books from over the years, including last May. No big keys were purchased but I did fill some gaps in my collection from newer dealers to "MC3", like Karl & Frank's Comics. Fun guys to deal with. Over the past year, my son has become a HUGE fan of the Flash, both the comics and television series. He was the one who was pushing to go to this show. So instead of me dragging my boy to a comic show; he's dragging me! He was on a mission to find the first appearance of the "Reverse Flash" and get it signed by Tom Cavanagh, who was one of the celebrity guests. There were only two copies of Flash #139 on the floor, at the same price, and he settled on the one that was slabbed - good choice. He bought it from a local guy, Pop'n'Comics or Morse Comics... I believe. And I have to say, Tom Cavanagh treated my kid like gold. It was my son's birthday and, after learning that, Cavanagh came out of his booth, spent extra time talking to him, and even got Danielle Panabaker "Killer Frost" to wish him a happy birthday. For him, it was a special experience. Some pics:

Pre-pandemic, I’d always hit his booth early. I was there Friday and was glad to see that he set up this year. While Todd wasn’t there, his booth had tons of beautiful, sharp bronze books at fantastic prices. Here’s some of the books purchased from Lange: Walked away from the show with a few boxes. And this from Roger at Collector’s Zone:

Very sorry to hear about this. I've had the pleasure of exchanging messages with Thomas in the past. Really nice guy who loved comics.

Special Sunday delivery, Mr. Flintstone. Needed it... Purchased through eBay. Thank you @cd4ever

Unleashed... at last!

This book is a real gem - just can't stop picking it up and thumbing through it. They couldn't have done a better job putting this together.
