F.A.C.T.S. and comics?

[lucalias]

Hi,

I'm planning to go to the Facts this year, mainly for the comics.
Are there a lot of comics ? Are there also TPBs/Hardcovers ? Are there statues ? etc.

Thanks in advance,

What kind of comics/tpbs/HCs are you looking for ?

Statues have always been easy to find at FACTS, not as common as toys, but some dealers will have them.
Strangely enough I've never seen a comics dealer that sold statues, it's always a toys dealer.

When I went in 2004 I had amazing finds comicwise...

So I hope this year it will be the same ofcourse!

I'm mostly looking for The Amazing Spider-Man, single issues, TPBS and Hardcovers. Maybe also some Civil War tie-ins.

TBS's are usually easy to find (I only collect single issues and as such are not really interested in those). I'm sure you'll find some Amazing stuff, mostly 80s-90s. Don't count too much on older issues though (and this goes for most series, not only Amazing).

Hot, current issues are kind'a tricky. These used to be easy to find at F.A.C.T.S. But these days, a lot of retailers are working mainly through pre-orders and as a result don't have much overstock. So, if it's new and hot, it might be hard to find and maybe rather expensive, which raises the question if it's really worth it (but that's another discussion). Your best options here are individuals who bought something, read it and didn't really like it, or people looking for some quick money by concentrating on the hot books of the month (I call it the Wizard rage).

Too bad... I just sold a bunch of singles and a Masterwork HC...
