Missing brutalis and dan bailey, to begin with. Seconded. Thirded.
And more recent, I couldn't be more grateful to Icctrombone for starting up Zoom meetings during Covid. They've made me feel much more involved in the community here,

George mentioned Black Kiss in passing and how it was a big, big seller. Then we talked about how the second volume did not sell as well. Probably due to a change in publishers and people not seeing it as the comic shops. That was about it. We did not get into details about the content. I never got the sense that it was a big seller--I remember it as one of those things like Ronin where it was easy to find the early issues, but later ones were tough as stores right-sized their ordering.
I also remember being shocked at the $1.25 price tag for 10 story pages (when regular 4-color books were still under a dollar). I hung on, but was never happy w/ the supernatural turn the story took.

We had a nice meeting with 6 attendees. tartanphantom , Slam_Bradley , Rob Allen , kirby101 , spoon and icctrombone Subjects covered: George Tuska The Black Kiss book Bob Brown The Howard the Duck /Disney battle over its appearance Vince Colletta Pimp ? Free comic book day Kirby's Captain America run Creating comics for Charlton without interference Ditko's second time at Marvel McFarlane Overrated ? Why Kirby left Marvel Movie trailers and the spoilers Reveals in movies Bongo comics And much more but I need a secretary to record all the content. What a great mix of topics, so eclectic. I mean, Bongo Comics, why Kirby left Marvel, and McFarlane overrated all in one topic. That’s a great mix. Also, I had no idea until now that there’d been a battle between Disney and Marvel over Howard the Duck. Sorry I missed it--curious about what people had to say about Black Kiss.
Ithacon has been disappointing the past couple years--it doesn't seem to know if it wants to remain a mainstream/older fan show (Simonson, Mike Gold, and Don Simpson were among the guest) or play up the indie/maker/family focus/cosplay scene, so it feels like neither.

From back in the day when places like Brentano's would sell sell inappropriate stuff to obviously underage kids. Read 'em to death.
