This weekend in Washington DC was Awesome Con. Awesome Con is the premiere comic book convention in the Nations Capital. This year, Stan Lee was a featured guest, and along with his appearance, he brought along a showcase of some of his collectables.
The con itself was pretty good. It had a selection of comic creators and celebrities. Saturday was packed as seen in this brief crowd video:
While there were a good many comic dealers, the highlight was seeing Stan Lee’s collection. Check out some highlights below:
I did pick up some good deals from Larry’s Comics, always a must stop if you see his booth at a con. I picked up an Invincible #1 Larry’s Comics Variant from him on a great deal. Also picked up a Jean Grey #1 J. Scott Campbell Convention Variant. Had a lot of other great deals found around town including two newsstand Batman #24 and a Poe Dameron #10 40th Anniversary variant for $1, so venturing off the con was as good as being at it.
I filmed an episode of Barzinga, the drinking and convention Web series with Baltimore Lauren. Will have that on here when it gets posted.

We went Friday and I thought Awesome Con wasn’t a comic show. Dealers were few and keys overpriced. I did pick up some potential 9.8s at Fandata. (Harry always give good deals.) I also got my Walking Dead #108 signed by Khary Payton (TV’s King Ezeikiel).
Fandata was a good Booth. I liked his stuff and prices.
I wish I was there to see the Stan Lee Museum. The beauty of being one of the co-creators.
It was cool but the thing I noticed is he signed everything, all the artwork, the props, everything
It was fun, I went Saturday. I got some great deals also including a near complete run of Nailbiter for way under cover. I wanted to get something signed by Snyder but his line was way too long. Last year I found even better deals on Sunday an hour or two before closing they are practically giving stuff away. When I got there and saw how huge the crowd was, I knew that I never was going to see the man behind this great site.
I was there until about 6 pm (parked in a neighborhood with no meters for more than two hours.) you going to Baltimore? I am there open to close.
I have not decided on Baltimore yet. I also dropped off a few comics at CGC, since CBCS wasn’t there I decided to give them a shot.
They use to hand out those Invincible #1 Larrys variants for free
Yup. Now they are $40 books.
