I don't have much to say about this comic in particular. I will say that I was also of a similar age when I started to branch into independent sci-fi books. For me it was American Flagg for the win.
ReplyDeleteBut I do have a lot to say about cons. Like you, my first cons were more like trade shows, usually at a Howard Johnson motel. It was at one of these where I learned about 'back issues'. I never thought in my mind you could get older comics. I just assumed they left the newstand and got pulped. How odd to think that way these days?
Real conventions are really a recent phenomenon for me. When I moved to the Boston area I suddenly had access to smaller cons in Boston city (usually with 1 or 2 creators), nearby New Hampshire, and even ones in RI. Boston Comic Con and Terrificon grew is size in prominence. And I went to as many as I could.
I love shows, big or small, just to meet creators I love, hang with friends I know, and even shop. They really are joyous to me.
And yes, there are usually cheap books too!
Hope to see you in person at one of these one day Prof!
Thanks for the feedback, Doc!
