American Update: Rare and unusual Convention Booklets – UKCAC, GLASCAC and US Philly-con!
*Magazines/Books About Vintage US Comics: Among the least common mags about US comics are the booklets produced in association with comics conventions. Usually limited to print runs of between a few hundred and at most a couple of thousand, they contain a plethora of features, articles, and most of all artwork from a multitude of comics creators, the vast majority of which has never been seen since the original publication. We’ve been lucky enough to obtain a selection from Britain’s leading event, the United Kingdom Comic Art Convention (and its spin-off, the Glasgow Comic Art Convention), handsome A4 booklets featuring Ian Gibson, Jamie Hewlett, John Bolton, Simon Bisley, Dave Gibbons, Frank Quitely…and that’s just a selection of the cover artists! Plus, the Tenth Anniversary Edition (1977) of Phil Sueling’s Phillycon (located in our listings under Comic Art Convention), a 100+ squarebound extravaganza featuring guest of honour Berni Wrightson, and a plethora of illustrations from a few other people – Jack Kirby, John Buscema, Trina, Dave Cockrum, John Severin, Gray Morrow, Neal Adams, Stan Goldberg, John Romita (Sr. & Jr.), Gil Kane, Nick Cardy, John Buscema, Frank Brunner, and many other legendary talents.
