Hi everyone. Back Issues Comicon was over two weeks ago. We’ve had time to talk to vendors and attendees alike. The overwhelming, positive feedback about these shows is incredibly heartwarming. So to everyone who attended, to every vendor and every individual who helped get the word out: THANK YOU!

Loved the event last weekend. It was the 3rd @backissuescomicon.bsky.social to take place and not only was it fun, packed with great comics, collectibles and art, but it was double the size of the previous two events! Were you there? Give Back Issue a follow and I hope to see you at the next one.

Last weekend at Back Issues Comicon!

We’re rocking and rolling on both levels today!

I expect to see a lot of the usual here: Cape #comics and other titles with a movie franchise attached. But dig deep enough through a longbox and you strike gold. Comics that are pure comics. Passion projects and throwing stuff against the wall. Amazing artists no one talks about now. Good stuff

This is tomorrow in Dartmouth! Come check out this great show!

Good for hot or cold, we’ve been looking at getting some travel cups made. These are just the samples. Not sure if we’ll have any for sale at the show, but if we do, they may look like these. Either a 20oz (591 ml) or a shorter 16oz (473 ml). I think they look pretty good, eh?

We are 1 WEEK out from the 3rd Back Issues Comicon! Our 5th and final guest is a brilliant writer and well known for his work on IRON FIST, BATMAN, GHOST RIDER, PREDATOR, THE DISPLACED and recent titles: SILVERHAWKS & THUNDERCATS: LOST! Please roll out the welcome mat for the inimitable Ed Brisson!

Our next guest is another towering figure in the comics community, literally. An artist and writer, his comic ADAM (“in any other story, he’d be the bad guy”) boldly claims to be the Maritimes #1 comic book. Come pick up a copy and see for yourself. Please welcome comic creator, Andrew Clark!

Our next guest is a verifiable comic legend. The patriarch of the maritime comic community, the original artist on the MEN IN BLACK and publisher of DARK COAST (Dark Coast issue 2's official mainland launch is at our show Saturday April 5th). Please welcome Sandstone Comics' own, Sandy Carruthers!

We are exactly TWO weeks from our 3rd Back Issues event and we are starting our announcements off with a big one (yes, he's tall)! Our first comic guest is currently writing The Avengers AND the X-Men. He redefined Black Cat and Moon Knight for a new generation. He is...Jed MacKay!
