Correcting the title of this thread. Michael Goldman was hospitalized with a heart attack. Will update his condition as I hear more or post here if someone has an update.

This is proving to be a difficult year for comic book dealers.

A special prayer for Mike, who put a lot of fun into an increasingly cookie cutter industry.

And now I am hearing it was Michael Goldman, the long time promoter of the Motor City Comic Con who suffered the heart attack.  I am sure he and his family would appreciate your thoughts and prayers and I'm sorry for conveying the wrong information initially.

Very sorry to hear this.  Will be praying for him.  I remember the Showcase 4 he consigned to Heritage that was pretty amazing.

Motor City sold me my first copy of Fantastic Four 1. 

That good deed alone will get Michael thru this!

Michael also runs a real nice monthly comic show in Farmington, Michigan , a nice old fashioned show with only a $3.00 entry fee and some nice dealer presence, and Michaels family helps him with the show and sells good tasting baked goods cheap.

I spoke to Mike's mom.

She didn't say it was a heart attack but that he did have chest pain. He went to the hospital for testing yesterday and might be at the show tomorrow. How likely that is, I don't know.

His show has been one of my favorite shows of the year and he always treated me respectfully even when I was an up-and-coming nothing.

Wish the best for Mike.

Yep!  I enjoy this show a lot.  Get well soon Michael!

Well, I stepped out of the show yesterday for a break and who did I see pull up in their car but Michael Goldman.

He was pretty tired (as usually happens when you have some heart trouble) but in decent spirits.

I gave him a lift to the back door to the show in my car (so he didn't have to walk it, if you're not familiar you get pretty tired after a couple of steps when dealing with hear trouble) and he got onto to working at the show.

I came home this evening so i have no idea whether he was there or not today.
