Columbia Comic and Toy Convention Recap

I mentioned this convention here several weeks ago. I got back from it yesterday afternoon and was all set to post something about it. Unfortunately, my laptop sucks and it looks like the only solution maybe reinstallation of the OS. In the meantime, I'm blogging from my phone which is never ideal.

The convention was pretty small and around a 50/50 split between comics and toys. I still managed to spend about three hours and $80. I picked up some books I had wanted for a while: Wonder Woman #233, Detective Comics #452, Black Panther #1, Jungle Action #5, and V For Vendetta #1.

The 13th Annual Columbia Antique Toy, Comic & Collectible Con

I'll be headed to this con in a few weeks.  I've never been before and am not really sure how big this convention is but it's better than driving a few hours for all the other ones near me.  According to their site, Roy Thomas will be there.  Roy was the first editor-in-chief to succeed Stan Lee at Marvel.  He's also responsible for bringing Conan the Barbarian to comics back in 1970.  He's currently editor of Alter Ego, the Marvel fanzine.  His accomplishments are too numerous to name here.  Sanford Greene (Marvel Adventures Spider-Man, Wonder Girl) will also be appearing.  Here's the link to the con website:
