Popular Post F For Fake Posted December 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) My Louisville SuperCon Report! Per usual, I don't have enough to say/show to make it worth doing an entire thread, so I'll just tie this one up. This was the first year since the Supercon folks took over our little bitty Derby City Comic Con, and man, it was a drastic upgrade! Attendance was huge, and there was so much stuff. It was pretty impressive, and immediately put the show near the same size and scope of the burgeoning Lexington Comic Con. This is a pretty legit show, now, and that's cool. Unfortunately, due to the timing putting this show just a few weeks before Xmas, my discretionary spending account is more or less depleted, so I didn't even LOOK at comics, because I knew I couldn't buy any. Yes, please feel sorry for me. Instead my money went to getting sigs from several Batman: The Animated Series voice actors (will have those pics up in the Plastic Crack thread momentarily) including the One True Batman, Kevin Conroy. Otherwise, my only real objective was to finally get some signatures from Keith Giffen, who I have been waiting to meet since I was about 12 years old. In all of these years, for whatever reason, he's never been at a show that I was attending. So I was stoked! He couldn't have been funnier and nicer. There was a sign on his table saying "First signature free, each additional $5" but he didn't even know where the sign had come from or who had put it there, and seemed to know nothing about it. So he signed these books for me, as well as my DC book, and then I bought the Ambush Bug print from him out of appreciation for signing for free. I don't do Signature Series, I just collect the occasional autograph on books that have personal significance. I've been dragging these LoSH books around to shows for 20+ years now to get sigs. Finally added Keith to a small handful of my favorites. As for the 50 Years of DC Comics, I've also been dragging the book around to cons since 97 or so, getting as many sigs as I can. Some day I'll scan them all in. The book is beat up, but there are a lot of good memories in there. The best moment of the show was talking to Kevin Conroy, who couldn't have been nicer. You just don't expect that Batman voice to come out of that body. I mean, IT'S BATMAN, right? He was admiring the Paul Dini sig in my book, and we were talking about how Bruce Timm's signature is "nothing", and he proceeded to jot his version of Timm's signature on his table. I told him he could do one of those in my book too, if he didn't mind, which got a big laugh. Making Batman laugh, it was a great feeling. Anyway, I've talked enough, here are some pics of things that are not really new in my collection, but which have been updated.

Yeah, I can get tongue tied too. I try to get in, say something nice but not belabor the point, and get out before I stick my foot in my mouth.

What's amazing is they all seem in fairly good shape I like the first superman flash race and of course the FF 48, along with the deadman but makes me wonder if this was an a original owner collection?

Popular Post JoshuaM Posted December 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2018 Nothing overly spectacular, but I'm slooooowly putting together a string of Amazing Spider-Man, this is the newest arrival and the earliest issue so far. I'm doing issues 200-300 in 9.8 white. Then it grew to 200-325 lol. Knowing me I'll end up including issues 175-199 at some point. Anyway, I take my time. Bargain hunt. Just sort of a leisurely pursuit I enjoy. Still a long way to go lol. Joshua PunisherPunisherPunisher, BAT MAN, F For Fake and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 To be honest i think comic frames are dumb and a waste of money. Kind of like modern books with Stan Lee's sig on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BabaLament Posted December 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2018 Hello all! Been laid up for a bit in the hospital; after a week of the less-than-tender ministrations from the professional vampires (aka: nurses), I returned home today to a beautiful sight: a stack of boxes full of comics!

ADAMANTIUM Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 @BabaLament hope your Alright! I too have that wizard one half in 9.8, but it's a first gen slab... and it doesn't have "wizard mail away" on the label I guess that I can just chalk that up to someone submitting it without the mail away?
