Once again, I wanted to thank everyone that made it out to the 1^st LA Ultimate Comic Art & Collectibles Show last Sunday.  We were pleased with the results of the show – most dealers seemed to be making money and the collectors appreciated having easy access to a top notch line up of exhibitors/art in a relaxed environment.   There were many people en route to San Diego, but also others who weren't going down to the show and were excited to be able to get a shot at buying the variety of material in the room.  

We’ll continue to gather feedback on how we can continue to improve, but we received overwhelming encouragement to continue the show.  So, please save the date for the show next year on Sunday July 14, 2019!  Details to follow.

For those that couldn’t attend, we wanted to give everyone a little feel for what it was like to be there along a deeper dive look of the art that was brought out to the show.  Check out two videos we produced re-capping the show: one focused on the dealers at the show and one focused on the artists. These videos are just one more thing we wanted to do to make this show a little different.  They can be found by going to the show website (www.UltimateLAShow.com) or you can link to them directly here:

Again, thanks to all the dealers and collectors that supported us.  And for those that couldn’t attend, we hope to see you next year!

Hey, just a big thanks for putting on this great show! Had an awsome time. Being mostly a comic book collector I spent most of my time in the room across the hall but did spend some time in the art room. I was very impressed by the amount of dealers and quality art in the room. The guests and artists were very gracious and everyone seemed to be having a great time.

The comic room was off the hook. Most every dealer I would have seen in San Diego was there with quality inventory. I probably bought at least something from about every one in the room. I am "one of those guys". The ones that have given up the SDCC. And the word going around was that I am far from being alone. I couldn't have asked for a better replacement than your show.

Suggestions... Slightly bigger dealer rooms. Not real big but bigger. I got the feeling that dealers did well and the word has spread.I'm sure some had to be turned away due to the size of the room.  Also two days would be nice. I heard some people, before the show ran complain about the hours being too short. If a one day show, maybe open an hour or so longer. The general location is great. I heard a little whining about parking but I parked in the lot next door with no problem. Really nothing but praise though. Everybody worked very hard to put on a great show that was VERY affordable to attend weather a dealer or buyer. Thanks!
