Wednesday night you get to focus on the Exhibit Hall — for some, it’s a mad dash to get exclusives; for others, it’s a chance to get the lay of the land and a great opportunity to meet creators.
And sometimes, you get a little extra surprise…
First, running into Joe Ferrarra, the owner of Atlantis Fantasyworld, Santa Cruz’s oldest (and best) comic book shop. He’s holding up the AFW Archie #1 exclusive cover, drawn by Scott Shaw! It’s a good book, and Joe is a great retailer and, by the way, also a great musician who performs regularly at The Cats in Los Gatos, California.
