This year I was beyond fortunate enough to spend free comic book day at the awesome ‪@FunkyTownComicsVinyl‬! Not only was I able to pick up some great comic books, but I was also able to get books and cards signed by Matt Flint and the Legendary ‪@jusko911‬! It was a day I'll never forget and I can't wait to get back to this amazing comic book shop in Fairmount New York, just outside of Syracuse!
Big thanks to Jeff, Jesse, and Chris of Funky Town Comics and Vinyl for being absolutely stellar hosts and all around great humans. Please check these guys and their shop out if you are in the area!

Alex Ross + The Creature from the Black Lagoon? Sign me up! That was a bonkers deadline they gave Jusko. Makes sense why alot of those veteran painters and airbrush artists backed away from the industry, they had a rough go at it in the 90s with editorial deadlines.

Great FCBD brotha. You got some awesome books and Joe's sig looks amazing. I was fortunate enough to take my oldest daughter with me and we were able to get 5 different artists draw the teen titans team for my daughter. She got to meet Mike Lilly again and I told him that we meet him a couple of years ago and he did an amazing sketch of Batgirl for my daughter who at the time was cosplaying as her. So that was a cool interaction. Glad my daughter is into comics enough to hang with me for FCBD. This is what it's all about, being able to enjoy these moments with a new generation and hopefully they can continue on with this amazing hobby. 👊🏼

Los! Thanks as always for your kind words. I appreciate you telling me about your experience with your daughter. I hope one or both of mine get into comics someday. They are just too young right now but I will continue reading some cartoon comics that a friend sent to me, every night before bed. I'm glad you had an awesome day too my friend and thanks for checking out this video!

Enjoyed the video ...obviously missed some of the shows as the wall has expanded... Pity you didn't have Jusko Vampirella...the fact you met him is amazing... The Hellboy is definitely the pick of the 3 on my opinion.. Love the Creature From the Black Lagoon variant...need to check What Not for the standard version...wow amazing sketch cover by Alex Ross.. Nice array of Marvel cards, I would have gotten him to do the Tarzan / Deja Thoris cards...

Thank you, David! I wish I did have a Vampirella comic he did. Always been a fan of vampires and his work on her is phenomenal as I've looked it up since. Hellboy was a must-have, glad I got it! The sketch cover was just something I didn't have so I'm glad I added it to my collection. I'll have to look up the cards you're referring to. I'm sure they're amazing if Joe did them.

@@Moncomics Jusko done a full portrait Vampirella cover back in 96/97 ,, normally sells for around 6-10 dollars on line in the US. The card set also came out around the same time - features a 6 card chase set making up a scene from Deja Thoris and John Cartes as well as the varied creatures..should be reasonably easy to track down online.

There were some really fun books for FCBD this year. I have been very curious to check out the EYE LIE POPEYE issue from the new manga inspired reboot by Massive. This new series is supposed to tell the origin of Popeye's missing eye (the one he always squints)! What a great idea! Also, there was the CURSED LIBRARY PRELUDE comic from the Archie horror universe full of arcane tomes and haunted grimoires. And then there was the ATLAS COMICS LIBRARY anthology from Fantagraphics which reprints a bunch of classic pre-Marvel stories and pre-code horror classics from the Atlas era. Those would have been my 3 picks, but I am also a huge Blade fan and collector so I gotta have the Blood Hunt prologue as well. I have already read the exciting first issue of the BLOOD HUNT event and the entire first wave of Tie-In issues. I have been eagerly waiting on this vampire takeover of the Marvel Universe event since it was announced. Anything that's got Blade, Dracula, and the Darkhold in it, sign me up big time!! And don't get me started on Universal Monsters! I can't wait for the new Universal Frankenstein series this fall! Also, I love Jusko's B&W Moon Knight cover from the original run. Great video. Cool comic hang. Keep on MON-ing!

I think when you're a comic book collector or some people call it a nerd there is something in your DNA maybe it's your like for art maybe it's your like for science fiction or horror maybe it's your like for finding something rare or valuable All those factors and throwing in things I'm not even mentioning it creates a a brotherhood of comic people. p.s. I just ordered the creature from the Black lagoon comic book myself I'm going to show on an upcoming episode and save it for my Halloween episode also.
