The day started with a bang as
people showed up in droves for the grand opening. |
|
|
 |
|
|
Soon the isles were crowded. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
The checkout stayed busy for
most of the day ... |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
... at some points the line
stretched to back of the store. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
With a large selection of rare
back-issues a comic fan could become lost for hours just browsing
the massive selection. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Florida Super Comics also stocks
an impressive selection of new and current issues. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Along that opposite wall from the
comics and toys you will find all of the current table top games ... |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
... including the ever popular
War Hammer. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Outside
thousands of back issues were being sold at five for a dollar and
hundreds of trades were marked at 50% off ... |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
... there were also hundreds of
classic toys at unbelievably low prices. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Back inside the creator's section
was always busy ... |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
... as fans got a chance to
meet Marvel and DC cover artist
Greg Horn ... |
|
|
 |
|
|
... golden age legend Allen
Bellman ... |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
... cover artist
Vinnie Tartamella
(and his brother) ... |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
... actress
Cindy Morgan (star of
Caddyshack and
Tron) ... |
|
|
 |
|
|
... local artists (and all around
nice guys)
Manny Aguilera and
DeLeon Walters
... |
|
|
 |
|
|
... and Marvel and DC artist
Mark Sparacio. |
|
|
 |
|
|
Elsewhere in the store fans could
meet voice actors
Bill Rogers
and
Dana Snyder. |
|
|
 |
|
|
Later in the day
Bill Rogers
(Brock from Pokemon) hosted a Q&A from the wrestling rink in
the parking lot (where cos-play wrestling would later take place). |
|
|
 |
|
|
Outside guests could meet the
gang from
Students of the Unusual and the
crew of the
USS Blackstar. |
|
|
 |
|
|
Falcon experts were also on hand.
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Back inside things were heating
up at the gaming tables. |
|
|
 |
|
|
Naturally no event associated
with
Florida SuperCon
would be complete without costumes and there where plenty. Here we
have a "unique" Zatanna and Princess Peach. |
|
|
 |
|
|
His holiness was on hand to bless
the event. |
|
|
 |
|
|
Kitty Pryde was there, back in
solid form. |
|
|
 |
|
|
All in all it was an amazing
event and if this grand opening was any indication ...
Florida Super Comics, Games, Anime + More
will be around for many years to come. |
