Kind of reminds me of hotel cons from ye olden days.

 

That's exactly what it was like.

 

How was Winstar? Would it be fair to say the entire Okla. weekend was a win-win?

Won $300. So yes, win-win, chicken din. Sorry I didn't get a chance to see you Monday.

Great pics more please

 

I'll see what I can conjure up.

 

Here's a few more...

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

 

It looks just like a typical British comic mart, as run by Golden Orbit, and especially so because of the TV Tornado Annual in the first image.

Now that you mention it, there were a bunch of funny accents.

Here's a nostalgic thread from my David Merryweather daze that might benefit from a 

And to get the ball rollin', here's a celeb pic taken in front of my table at the 2016 OAF con:

Here's one where some guessing is involved. On the right is Robert A. Brown, in the middle I'm not quite sure (maybe Joe Bob Williams?) and on the left, again I'm not sure, but I think it may be Carl Barks, one of the featured guests of Multicon in OKC, where I took this one...

 

That is Robert A. Brown on the right side but it is George Evans on the left and Joe Vusinovich (sp?) in the center but who is no longer with us.  George is holding an old Colt replica and the bag contains black powder.  Robert remembers the moment very well because he got a piece of Evan's art that he really wanted.

May this thread never die, it's wonderful.

Got any old photos of cons or Collectors Book store Rich?

More from the 2016 OAF-con.

Here are two more from the show-and-tell panel with the Wally Wood diorama...

Above: Diorama builder introducing Roger Hill who brought along several pieces of Wood EC art for display.

Wally Wood studio diorama.  Amazing miniature work recreating Wally working in his studio circa 1950's.

Seems like a good a place as any to throw in my RBCC issues. I subscribed from the late 60's through late 70's and they're great but also disappointing when the occasional Action 1 ad for $200 pop up

Here's an old newspaper article I clipped back the 70's focusing on EC artist John Severin...

Unfortunately, I don't have the newspaper attribution or date of publication.

Severin drew a Laverne & Shirley piece for the October 1976 issue of Cracked and Mel Schieltz was a photographer for the Rocky Mountain News in Denver.

Great article!

Sorry about the lost history in this thread.

I think Photophuckit is acting up again. I haven't been able to get on it since Thursday and some (not all of my photos) are not showing up. Guess I'll have to wait to show my new Tec #27...

Nope.  Just tested PB images on another site which shall remain unmentioned.  No problems over there.

This is entirely a CGC issue.  They own it.  I don't upload directly from an iPhone or unedited computer files, never have and never will.  I suspect that CGC has been futzing around with their new platform and screwed something up big time.

My buds who post here may not have an issue with any of this, but for me, losing PB uploading capability along with much of the FANDOM thread images is a deal breaker.

Update: FANDOM is back! Cache on the barrelhead!  

To toast PB images returning here's a photo of the late great Roddy McDowall at a Houstoncon back in the 70's...

Just found this photo in one of my 'bucket albums from Chicago Wizard b-ball game a couple of years ago.

Some of the usual suspects are easily recognizable, even those disguised as credible players.
