telerites Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Not necessarily of particular to anyone else but I have always wanted to attend SDCC even now as it has migrated to so much more entertainment. In 1978, when I was a starting high school, my dad went to San Diego for his naval reserves two week active duty. I begged him to go to the convention and buy me a copy of Avengers #93 as I needed that book for my collection. He said he went but the prices were just too high - I doubt he really went since he has always been a tightwad (said with still much love). I picked this program up recently just as remembrance of the first SDCC, I probably didn't even vicariously attend. Oh but I do have a few copies of Avengers #93 now - not purchased at SDCC. So one day, if my health and funds permit, I will attend. thehumantorch, JTLarsen and Ryanfromottawa 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I still remember back in the day when the Avengers 93 was definitely one of the must have BA books that all serious collectors just had to have in their collection. Unfortunately, definitely not the case anymore as it seemingly has become one of the lost and forgotten former BA keys, even with the square bound 52 pages of absolutely amazing Adams artwork from cover to cover. Hope you make it to SDCC one day in the near future. Edited July 29, 2017 by lou_fine JTLarsen and telerites 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic trip! We were kings of the road! Was that a concept car? The '55 was due out for a few years when you were a senior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
