I went to that local show I mentioned a few weeks ago, and got to meet Staton. It was a pretty cool experience, and Mr Staton was a very nice gentleman. I basically got to meet the guy who drew GL when I became a fan. I got to say the things I always wanted to say to him, and I got a GREAT full page inked drawing of Hal Jordan. I brought my son, and he chatted with both of us while drawing. And I got to get his autograph on a sentimental GL issue for me.
I got some cool swag too. Free stuff was a Flash pin and three of those GL rings that are floating around. They're the same mold as the ones that come with the DCD figs, but a different shade of green plastic.
For purchases, I got Atom #2 (silver age) to fill a whole in my collection. Also got B+B #86 for my Deadman collection. I got the variant cover to GA/BC #1 for 6 bucks. I got Green Arrow #69, which was the only issue of that series I was missing.
I accidentally bought a mystery box GL that I already had. The one from series two, that's the statue with the checkered base shrunk down. Now I have two for no good reason other than a faulty memory.
My BIG purchase (that I have no intention of telling Jen about!) is that I bought BOTH Sandman Absolute editions. They retail for 100 bucks each, and I got one for 50 bucks, and the other for 75. I planned on spending more money on older stuff, but I really wanted those two books, and I knew I'd break down and buy them down the road anyway. And I'd problably pay closer to cover price and kick myself, and I broke down and got these.
