Unfortunately, a huge ape that likes to think he looks like Hulk Hogan stole about 90% of my collectibles and though I took the deputy to where he hid them, nothing was ever retrieved. From my early childhood, I collected figurines, action figures, comic books, books, pictures, etc. Realistically, I prefer to take a more romantic approach and consider my vast inventory: the tangible evidence of my favorite memories. If I am being truly honest with myself, I am a hoarder. Hello, I am Michelle, I am a 45 year old woman and I collect comics. Some things change, but even with those changes most things seem to remain the same. From Cincy, I have a photo of me with Predator. In NYC I had a photo op with a Storm Trooper. In Cincy, a guy convinced me to purchase his graphic novel by letting me read a passage where the character was someone pregnant with an “alien” and she was desperately trying to get an abortion. In NYC I picked up the Pope John Paul II comic book. My media favorite in NYC was Adam West (THE Batman) so it should not be surprising that my media favorite of Cincy was Julie Newmar (THE Catwoman).
Eight years later, the second comic book convention I attended was in Cincy, planned for and with a handful of goals in mind. The first comic book convention I attended was in NYC, on a whim and with no real direction ( for that blog click: here). It’s nice to stand among them and feel right at home. These freaks, these crazies, these people who are looked at from the peripheral and never taken seriously, this band of brothers – they will generally accept you, no matter how “different” you may seem to the rest of the world.

There is something about standing in a convention hall full of people that would be considered batshit crazy out on the street. But there are pictures to entertain you along the way.
