I missed the last St. Louis Comic Book & Collectible Show the Spector Club put on due to Clarkson being sick, but I was able to go today and had a gas/swell time/other phrase for enjoying myself. There were vendors with expensive comics and plenty with cheaper books--I got myself a nice stack of inexpensive Spider-Man, New X-Men, and a bit of Deadpool! I began the show having a lovely conversation with Dave and browsing his wares from All-American Collectibles. Then I saw my good friends Spike (of Lost in Space Toys and Collectibles) and John (of Bigfoot Comics). It was great catching up with them and browsing their wares. I hadn't seen David from Callisto Comics in some time, and he was at the show too--a superb guy as always.
Drew Stewart of CoMo Comics had a ton of goodies for sale and my chum Bruce Reynolds was present too. The incredibly friendly Dan Yezbick had some awesome vintage books that were outside my price range but lovely to look at. Tons of other vendors were present as well and I spent a good deal of time digging in shortboxes and eyeballing collectibles. The next show will be September 14th, followed by one on November 23rd, with the dates announced for 2026 as well! Check those out below in this handy picture of the flyer:
I'm excited for the next show on September 14th and am eager to visit 7300 Lansdowne Ave for early bird entry at 9AM for just $6 (regular entry for only $3 from 10AM on, with kiddos under 13 free)! If you can attend, I'll, hopefully, see you there!
