Getting my "Nerd On" from the weekend...

Usually when a comic book convention comes around there are those people who take pictures of the freaks, the cosplayers, and all the fat guys who are an unconfortable pale white. However, The Comic Book Expo in Toronto this past weekend didn't get that from me. I was scoring key comics for my comic book collection, and...



I got to meet Neal Adams.

Here are some of the key comics I scored...

All Star Western #10 - First Appearance of Johan Hex
The Saga of The Swamp Thing #20 - Alan Moore's first issue for Swamp Thing
The Saga of The Swamp Thing #37 - First Appearance of John Constantine
Weird Western Tales #39 - First Appearance of Scalphunter (part of a Western Revival from DC in the 70's)
Weird Western Tales #48 - First Appearance of Cinnamon (again, part of a Western Revival from DC in the 70's)
Green Lantern #196 - Guy Gardner first adventure as a real Green Lantern
Uncanny X-Men #131 - First Appearance of The White Queen, Emma Frost

I also completed my Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol run, and my Uncanny X-Men run is at the stage of just plain creepy.

I'll admit, I had one serious "Nerd On" this weekend.
