| Being photographed with a legendary demigod is expensive and time consuming. The photograph is $40.00. The signature is $55.00. The wait in line for both is about 2.5 hours. I wouldn't do it for anybody but Stan Lee. |

| Gene is the friendliest comic book dealers I know. His encyclopedic knowledge of old comics and inventory of same is incredible. If there was a Jeopardy Tournament of Champions for comic book experts Gene would be the man to beat. |

| David publishes some of the best books about comics. He was promoting The Art Of Neal Adams but he gave us a sneak peak at the new deluxe editions of Frank Frazetta: White Indian and Johnny Comet. He tells me Vanguard's upcoming book Wally Wood Stange Worlds Of Science Fiction will be comprehensvie with some surprises. I'm very proud of the 1-of-a-kind Steve Ditko Space Wars promotional poster David sold me a few years back. |
