What a comic show! In this video I go to my local show, the Western Mass Comic Show and have one of the best and CRAZIEST comic collecting days ever! I find great comics, buy original art, have dinner with legendary comic book creators, make a big mistake… and play live music? A strange day but an awesome one you absolutely have to see!

@@User8vfjhejfI'm sure it has its downsides, but where I am, I feel lucky to have an LCS for new books and one vintage shop for older stuff. When I see you Northeast guys going to multiple shops and having shows every other weekend, I am amazed. It's really cool.

I love the civil War story I collected all the books. One thing neat about the newspaper is there was also a comic called Frontline which was in a journalistic style following and talking about events that happened in civil War... very cool. A very good show and I know what it's like to rush between things that you're interested in all in the same day. I played many a church gig in my younger days. One thing about playing music is I found no matter how tired or run down you are feeling when you get to the performance you get energized maybe it's the adrenaline maybe it's the love of playing music. I've been collecting covers of Fable that have trumpets on them that's kind of cool collecting interest of mine. Mike I said it before and I'll say it again you're a comic book rockstar.

Fantastic Four 348 is my absolute favorite cover!!! I grab it anytime I find it!!! I'm hoping to meet Arthur Adams at New York Comic Con this year!!!

This was a really fun show! I was able to grab 30 comics from the dollar bins during that opening scrum at His & Hers (and stopped back in after the show to get a couple of the minor wall books from Nachon.) At the show I bought a copy of Ben Toz's book and a whole bunch of issues for my Defenders and Doctor Strange runs. Went through the entire amount I had budgeted for the day. And it was good to finally be able to say hi to you, Mike. I will definitely be making it to next year's show! - Mark C.

Always enjoy your videos and sharing of comic book knowledge. I've looked over so many books because I didn't know. Im looking forward to Heroescon this weekend in Charlotte, NC. Full of artist, writers and cheaters. But...I think Sam Alexander's first appearance is Marvel Point One #1 from 2011...historically. Nova #1 his his first ....chronologically. Heck if I know what the difference is.

@@lunchmoneycomics AH hear that, one thing they say though about tone wood in instruments (have watched a few documentary's on the subject) is that the instrument only gets better over time. A example would be I have seen a few guitar players who play the blues and there sporting a Gibson from the 1930's they just cant get enough of that instrument (picture a old rickity/beat up, with dings, scratches) and the musician is just top notch, but he just love's that aged instrument 🤷‍♂. Not trying to tell you what do , but if its still structurally holding together, just think of all that love and joy put into it,(if you believe in that kinda thing) just sayin...
