Wow - $1.00 comic con admission. This was 1983-84 in the midwest, so it was nothing like today's Comic Cons. They even spelled it as one word: "Comicon." Our friends John & Dickey invited me and brother Todd to go with them. It was amazeballs at the time. I forget what city it was in. Maybe Elkhart?
Admit One: $1.00. |
Todd got a copy of G.I. Joe #10 signed by the artist. I bought a bunch of titles I couldn't get anywhere else, like Judge Dredd, or obscure independent titles Johnny Nemo. A lot of them weren't all that great, but I was all about seizing an opportunity to encounter something new and weird that I might not find anywhere else.
