For thise of you who are on Facebook, I have made a facebook page for the conventions. Nothing real fancy as of yet, as I am still trying to figure it out. If you want to like it you can go to the Facebook page! .
I have gottten all the dates for the Indianapolis con which will be at a new venue next year. They are posted on the website. I also have a few set for 2015 and they are also on the website. More will be added when I get the dates of some other events that I do not want to conflict with. If you noticed the Fort Wayne ones that had been up there before, they will both be rescheduled. The March date will now be a convention in South bend.
If you have visited the site in the past this is not really news. If you like the assorted comic covers that appear on the landing page you will have noticed this changes every so often so next time you visit the website there is a very good chance there will be a different cover for you to enjoy! At this point there are over 100 different covers. If you have one you like send it to me and chances are unless it is the size of a postage stamp I will post! So far I have up one collector's favourite cover as well as a "Personal Favorite" (sic) of a dealer who sets up at many conventions! Most of the covers are also from older books. I beleive that older covers had to have something to draw you to them so the reader would see the cover and buy it. In the past 20 years or so most people who buy comics have their comic shop hold comics for them as they come in and will get X-Men or Superman or Archie each monh regardless of what is on the cover. This the need to sensationalise the story (or even make up something that does not occur in the book) is diminished!
If you long to see the old pics of sitting on the floor reading comics they have been moved to the wantlist page. You are welcome to submit to me lists of comics you are looking for. Not a lot of people do this, some that have have been rewarded with delaers bringing comics they are after which they would not have otherwise been brought to the con.
Some dealers have super powered girlfriends to guard their valuable comics!
Occasionally one of the conventions will be featured in the local newspapers. When I find out about them, I'll post links to the online versions here. Let me know if a link goes dead since some papers only keep free versions of their articles online for a limited period of time
The first Janesville con in April 2013 made the front page of the paper!
