Among the well worn stack of comics that I refer to as Barbershop Comics<\/a> was an old issue of the X-Men<\/em> that hit the stands late in 1981. There is nothing special about that particular issue, but the advertisement above for comic conventions caught my eye. I attended the Philadelphia convention!<\/p>\n

The mists of time have obscured many of the details, but as far as I remember, it was the winter of 1982 and I just returned to the Philadelphia College of Art after the outrageously long winter break. Once there, I rushed back up to the 13th floor office of the school’s quasi-newspaper DUCKWORK<\/em><\/a> to see the fellows that put together that publication. They were excited about publishing future issues of the paper for which I had a few ideas, but they were more excited about the upcoming Creation Convention<\/em> where they were going to have a table to promote COMICO!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
