rrichards Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) The first Comic Art Con :NYC Edition came and went and I would have to say from a collectors view point it was a success . The space was small but did offer an intimacy that was nice and felt more like an art gallery .If a couple of the bigger dealers participated like Anthony or Burkey I don't really know where they could have put them but for the dealers and the collectors that attended, the space was just right. Speaking with Joe V. I got the impression that this is still a work in progress but by what I saw it got off to a good start.Parking on a Sunday in that area was not too difficult.So now I'm looking forward to the NJ Edition. Here's some pics of the space and some of the art that was on display. Edited August 20, 2018 by rrichards Kohei, Twanj and JadeGiant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NelsonAI Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The FF cover might be my favorite from Bechara's private stash. I saw it in person at SDCC many moons ago when he had it on display in a nice oversized frame and easel. Put the damn thing in a mylar sleeve already. Lol. Cheers! N.

Jack drew the pencil FF piece for mine and Larry Shell's book, "Jack Kirby Masterpieces" back in 1978. Don't know what the hell that color piece is.

He had most of those pieces on display as well at WinterCon (Queens, NY) back in December 2014 (another display-only situation), which I happened to attend as I was meeting someone to do a deal there. I remember he told me at the time that he valued the FF 72 at more than a million bucks (it was made explicitly clear that $1 million was too low), and that was almost 4 years ago. Good luck to anyone who might want to take a shot at getting it out of his collection!
