Ad for 2nd annual Marvel Con 1976

Found this ad in Iron Fist No.5 (1976)



Stan Lee made his last east coast appearance at Boston Comic Con this past weekend and I forget how much the tickets were to meet and greet him but I am quite sure it was more than 10 dollars for all 3 days with a meet and greet of Mr. Lee included in the admission cost.

   I wonder how many years the Marvel Con operated and what folks might remember from it. I wonder even more what Mr. Lee thinks of how comics in general and the con environment has changed.

    We could not afford to spring for Stan Lee tix this past weekend (or Tim Curry tix which really would have rocked our world) but some friends got fast shots of John Barrowman and Jay (of Silent Bob and Jay fame) so we feel we got our fandom on none the less. We also heard some pretty crazy loud hooting and hollering on Sunday when we attended and are hoping at least some of that was for Stan the Man.

   Best wishes to Mr. Lee where the road takes you from here, we sincerely hope from your first comic to Marvel Con to Boston this past weekend that you thoroughly enjoyed the ride!

Boston Comic Con 2017

 Just a handful of some of the awesome comic books we came home with from today's last day of Boston Comic Con:

   The variety this year of comics and prices was wonderful, we met some great vendors and it was a really fun event. We can't wait for the next one!
