I had the pleasure of attending the Spector Show today. It was a lovely way to close out the month, and I greatly enjoyed seeing a variety of awesome folks there! This was the second show at the new location, 4690 Lansdowne Avenue, in the American-Czech Educational Center. It's a nice, spacious area and allows a good deal of stellar vendors to all fit in a big room. As always, a lot of thanks is owed to Dave of All-American Collectibles and Spike of Lost in Space Toys and Collectibles for being two superb showrunners! I proceeded to enjoy speaking with Jeff of Magnitude 10 Comics--he brought a ton of great stuff I was excited to dig through! My good friend John of Bigfoot Comic and Collectibles had some cool newer and vintage comics on offer--it was fun catching up with him. Wayne was selling some delicious baked goods that I had the pleasure of eating. Many had a fun theme, like the skeleton ones and the Doctor Who-related chocolates. Here's a picture of his display:
Tatertot Comics' display was packed with an immense number of books; I discussed with their crew how I was excited for their, "Junior," convention this coming June 14th. Callisto Comics had a large number of comics for great prices, and Bruce was present at the show with some definitely impressive comics for sale as well! Geoff had a mix of cool comics, including some incredibly old newspaper comic strips that were over a century old! Dan sold me a really cool old, "Alien Worlds," comic with gorgeous Dave Stevens' artwork. Observe:
The creative team from, "Crypt of Heroes," had their rad work for sale, and Tom had a nice assortment of comics for sale. CoMo Comics brought a truckload of great reads that they were selling as well. A good number of other vendors were present too, and I was pleased with the mix of comics, whether someone was more of a Modern Age collector (such as myself) or seeking out everything from the Bronze Age, to Silver, back to the Golden Age! I always have such a lovely time at the Spector Show thanks to the sheer volume of fantastic comics and comic-related items for sale! I look forward to the next one on July 26th and would encourage anyone able to attend to make sure and stop by!
