Hey everyone!

Running about 6 weeks late with a report. Mr Zipper and I attended the con. No purchases for me. I believe Steve purchased some books. Here's some pics.

Steve and I make it a tradition to have lunch. We chose Pizza Hut. Thanks for lunch, Steve!

All and all, it was a good con. There were tons of people, and they were going through boxes and making purchases.

Looks like a small con that's still all about comics (my kind of con). Thanks for the pics.

I love the comic cons that are about comics and art. I do not like the cans of red bull and movie booths. This looks fun.

Mike, that's Bechara Maalouf / Nostalgic Investments. I don't know him very well, but he's set up at the NYC shows since the 90s.

I saw the Atlas Battle Action cover at the top right of his display, but of course he's asking $16,500. Even as an Atlas fan I'd never pay that much for a pen and ink drawing. To each his own I guess.

Yup. Real nice guy, but most of his stuff is way too rich for my blood. I can't imagine he makes too many big sales in Albany. Not exactly as deep pocketed as the NYC crowds. :noway:
