Popular Post badback83 Posted May 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2019 Okay, first, I wasn’t sure where to post this, gold, silver or bronze because it kinda covers all sections of the boards. I’d like to share with as many people as possible because I thinks it’s pretty amazing. So, if you have a pal that doesn’t really visit CG that much, tell them to take a look at this thread. Id like to hear what people think. There isn’t really a huge backstory to this acquisition other than I’ve wanted it for years. Several years ago, a friend of mine purchased a collection from the brother of a collector who passed away. I went to his house to look through what he had bought and I was delighted to find a program booklet from Marvel-Con ‘76. I love things like this, buttons, promos, random ephemera. My friend said he didn’t want to sell it. I found out why. There were autographs that Jerry (the collector) gathered at the convention. I wasn’t prepared for what was on the last page of the booklet. I’ve thought about this booklet for years. Today, my friend decided to let it go. I think it’s awesome......what say you!? entalmighty1, BlowUpTheMoon, obiedagod and 31 others 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namisgr Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Those were the days, when conventions were the best chance to buy comics for the collection, and creators were happy to meet their fans and give them autographs for free.

It's a nice find, one I would love to own, but it's not unique. I have several copies of that program.Time to look through them.

shadroch Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Maybe he did more convention sketches than published art. One can't use a ghost artist at a show. I regret not paying more attention to artists at those mid 70s shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
