Steve Geppi photo

I was going through my book shelf and came across this old magazine. Its from 1991.  Thought someone here might find it interesting.  Nearmint used to have a thread about old photos but I couldn't find it and anyways, this isn't really an old photo.  cheers

I remember those mags. They had all kind of collectors from cookie jars to wind-up toy banks. They would interview each of the respective hobbies biggest players. Nostalgia was really booming back then in the early 1990s with the baby boomers. Seems comics was one of the only few hobbies to survive with any impact.

I don't like the way he's manhandling those comics!

Probably restored under copies... How is Steve doing? You don't hear much about him any more. I met him once and was pleasantly surprised to find him very friendly and genuine. A guy that truly loves the medium.

Steve is doing just fine, and helping out fellow collectors...he still is a force....and he cemented comic book fandom in a way with his business practices. Sure a few pissed off people along the way...but overall a super guy

Thanks Mitch. I was impressed with how much of a true collector he was.

Yes, about the closest thing out there. I wish it were published more than quarterly.
