Slept in,Well got 4 hours,fuck it. As usual I do most of my shopping the first day.
Some used book dealer had a weird selection of paperback cheap. Saw novelizations of "The Incredible Hulk","Spider-man" and "Spider-man 3".Which are all written by Peter David. I think I got Spiderman already. But he also has the novelization of "Catwoman" movie with Halle Barry. But instead of any of that I grabbed the above. The Martin Caidin novel that became the TV film "The Six Million Dollar Man". I am sure this will sit in the "too read someday stacks" for years. But the price and the cover had me.
Last year I grabbed a book from NOLA author Rob A.Cerio. So I got the sequel this year. The first was a mixture of Hitchhiker's guide,Red Dwarf and Lexx. It'sfairly short so I will get it read before August. Plus is an odd size. Which makes it not fit in my Stacks of unread books. So I will read it fairly soon and shelve it. Got Rob to sign it. As has happened at the last 2 cons he would later co-host a panel on Comic books in other media.
If it is in decent shape and a 70s DC horror,weird,sci fi anthology series I will grab it. Plus this is a 100 page giant. Total reader copy,but was so dam cheap. Checked it out some and some great art. Think some Infantino in this one. Also all the following were 25% off the sticker on the bag. The dealer gave all the following to me for a good deal..
I also love the 70s Marvel horror stuff.I recognize the cover art but can't think of the artist's name.Still a neat find.
Issue 1 of Prez. I knew him from I think Who' Who until his appearance in Sandman. So finding this was a nice surprise.
Yeah I know the wrinkled a fuck bag obscures the great art.Also got the next issue.
I think there is a DC Showcase Presents with this entire series but I wanted these in color.
And now the best comic book cover I have seen in my entire life.
I can't wait to read about a talking ape that can conquer the world with knowledge from Treasure Island,Moby Dick and Robin Crusoe.I am sure I saw this on some list of strange covers. And I had never heard of this series. The dealer had a bunch more but at much higher costs.
Since he cut me a deal on the above I saw he had mystery grab bags of comics.10 or so in each pack and only $2. I took a chance. Figured it would be 90s glut stuff,it is. But it is decently written and draw 90s glut.
3 early Wally West as Flash Mike Baron written issues. So that right there is 2 bucks to me.
3 issues of the Impact version of the comet. Might be decent reads. Been kind of collecting the short lived Impact line.
And 4 issues of Impacts The Fly. They will go in the fairly large "comics to be read one day" stack.
One dealer had at least 500 different buttons for around 60 cents on average. Got a bunch that got added to my backpack.
Always loved the Hydra symbol. So grabbed it first.
Starting on the top left and going to the right I got. Clockwork Orange logo,Greatest American hero logo,The Spirit,Hawkeye,Planet of the apes,Pistols Bullocks album cover,Baroness from GI Joe,Snarky antiApple button, Black SPiderman symbol,Ultra man,Another Clockwork logo,and finally Nikola Tesla.The Cap America shield I have had for a long time.
Got this Star Trek Choose your own adventureish book mainly cause I love the various choose your own adventure ripoffs.
Finally got the unrated 2 dvd version of Troma's Terror Firmer. Same dealer had Citizen Toxie,but it was the R rated cut.
Hit up the annual comic books in various media panel. And while I did record it. It is taking forever to upload.
So that is all for now.
