Who is coming? Make sure to stop by Booth 1401 and say hi!! I still have some of the Breygent SDCC packs.

I will be helping out "Terry's Comics" again. Don't know his booth number. I will be there Fri, Sat and Sun. I will have a handful of newer boxes for sale. If you don't see any on display then just ask. We are down to one booth this year so things will be tight.

Assuming the Biegel boys will be there? (Alan, Harris and Bob).

Don't call me that. But yes, Alan, Harris, and Bob will be there...apparently along with some special guests this year with even sillier names then Biegel Boys.

Floppy and Angry Lou on Friday, Floppy asked me today if Alan and Harris are good friends of mine, I said yes, and he said he was sorry!

Topps had the printing plate sets available for pre-sale at NYCC. See the blog for details, limited to 350 sets, they cost $500.00 each, each set comes with the 4 printing plates for each base card and 24 exclusive base cards in a leather slipcase.

Did anyone who is attending the show pick up the 2 new exclusive Breygent promos ? (Grimm and Dexter)

Anyone have extras ? I am looking for them, with no success. Were there any other non sport promos at the show ?

David

What more promo's, the price' for the chicago promo's are silly

Is the Grimm promo there?

Yes, there was a Grimm promo.

Where might one find it at the show?

At the Breygent booth. #1983

Was able to spend just a couple of hours at Comic Con today. It was very crowded and very hot, but everyone seemed to be having a good time. So many elaborate and imaginative costumes, it has really gotten big. The convention set up could have been better, not a lot of directing going on and the crowd was so thick it was difficult to walk through some aisles. Despite that I was surprised at how orderly and polite the people were, really a nice crowd, a least while I was there.

Unfortunately I missed finding a couple of booths I was looking for and did not have the time to do another circle. I didn't see 258 and forgot the number, so I missed MrBlue. I also didn't get to see the autograph guests. Sorry about that.

I did see two dealers I knew and picked up some boxes. Lots of artists present, but I didn't have enough time for commissions.

I was very happy to find the Breygent booth and have the opportunity to meet and chat with Tom for a few minutes. A great guy and I thank him for his time and his promos. I picked up a couple of his new Dexter sets and we talked about making non-sport cards. If anyone's going on Sunday you should be sure to stop by Breygent, it was the highlight of my day.

Any word if the NYCC packs will be offered at Philly or elsewhere? I didn't have any luck getting the Grimm promo. So now I'm currently missing the last 3.

We'll have several New York Comic Con stories on the blog over the next week or so, all written by Batman. You can read the first one about artist alley right now:

An Artist Superhighway at New York Comic Con 2012

The Artist Alley looks larger than it did when I attended two years ago. Looks like Emerald City Comic Con next year is going to give NYCC a run for it's money.

does anybody know how many dexter promo's there are for the nycc ? i know of 2 i was wondering if there were more

The reports are off to a great start Batman! I can't wait for the next one.

I have a few pics to share.

Here are the sketch cards drawn by Jacob Chabot, Jason Edmiston and Chris Giarrusso.


Jacob Chabot had done X-Babies for Marvel. Jason Edmiston had done monster mashes featuring Frankenstein, Wolfman and other characters. I think they got a kick out of merging their previous work into this effort. Unfortunately, I did not think to ask the same for Chris Giarrusso.

Great sketch cards! Especially love the one by Chabot. Very clever to suggest those combinations!

Here's a set of three stickers that were distributed at NYCC:
