COMICS GALORE!
It’s
a cold day here in Indy and I could not think of a better way to
keep warm than being in the warm confines of a Holiday Inn sifting
through piles and piles of comic books and searching for the
sprinkle of toys throughout. The turnout of collectors and fans
seemed to be good right from the front doors as people sat twenty
deep watching anime and looking through their newly purchased comic
books.
Upon
entering the exhibit room, I was shocked to find that only about 75%
of the room was being occupied by vendors. Usually the room is
stacked with wall-to-wall vendors, but the ones that did set up camp
for today’s event didn’t disappoint the collectors. If you were
there searching for that rare Dracula #1 or just looking to fill the
void in your collection with a Superman or Spiderman comic, I’m sure
you could have found what you needed. Comic books were in abundance
from $0.25 on up to a couple hundred dollars each.
I was doing my normal scan of the
area and did come up with some Star Wars items in my sights. You
could find some DVDs containing “Missing Footage” and “Rare Star
Wars Oddities” as well as some with deleted scenes and such. Not
many figures were found, but I did happen to pick up a ROTS figure I
needed at a great price.
The people that came out for this
show were really there for the Anime DVDs and comic books. Everyone,
as usual, was extremely friendly and seemed to be having a great
time. This show seems to be moving away from toys, but the comics
are strong.
