A Day at Comic Con - Javits Center, NYCMy first Comic Convention experience, and definitely not my last. We arrived mid-day and I immediately scanned the booths for as much horror as I could find, dodging the superheroes, Trekkies, and various other socially awkward humans roaming around the Javits Center on a beautiful Spring afternoon. I managed to cover the entire ground in 4 hours, heading home with some really great toys and comics. Highlights of the event included sitting in for 5 minutes of Zombie Survival 101, a seminar about how to survive the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse, and walking out because it was a complete waste of time. The panel was hosted by a few teenagers who obviously have been playing too many video games. Everybody knows how to kill a zombie. Get some sun, fellas. The day was complete when I got to view the prototypes for the Uncle Creepy figure and a sick 25" tall Creature from the Black Lagoon figure coming soon from Amoktime!
Now added to my collection:
- Count Chocula, FrankenBerry, and Boo Berry bobbleheads
- Cryptic Art hardcover by Unkle Pigors
- Two issues of Creepy magazine (1965)
- Issue #1 of Pigeons From Hell (Dark Horse Comics)
- Prom Night movie poster (yeah yeah it's a remake but I'm gonna see it anyway)
- Uncle Creepy t-shirt
Oh yeah and my girl didn't break up with me for being a big nerd so that's a plus . . .
