One of our local comic shops All About Books and Comics hosted several in-store events. Their website said they would have artist Dustin Nguyen available for autographs. So we grabbed our copy of WildCats 3.0 #1 and headed down there. The store was packed! [...] [...] This year was the first Free Comic Book Day we attended.

I love the original incarnation of the Doom Patrol and have always been exasperated with the later incarnations. Although, Morrison certainly deserves many kudos for taking the team in a truly weird direction that the Doom Patrol deserves. I would love to see the series relaunched with the simplicity of the original and just have the original characters globe trotting and fighting monsters, a la Hellboy. I'd love to see Darwyn Cooke take them on.

Thank you so much for sharing your original Flash art!!! I'm a Flash fan myself, and I just had to see your collection in the store. I made it in last Wednesday evening, after stopping in earlier in the afternoon to pick up Flashpoint & Justice League, so I was limited on time to view your art till then. Taking advantage of the 50% off back issue sale that day, I also was able to pick up 3 more Flash issues to add to my collection that I'm building. MY Flash artist growing up was Irv Novick, as the first issue I bought was Flash #246, with the Neal Adams cover! I then became hooked more on comics after Flash #248/249, and discovering that Barry Allen was a comic book collector. With Flash#250 and the intoduction of The Golden Glider, sister of Captain Cold, and former lover of The Top, The Flash and his Rogues Gallery of villains would become my all-time favorites!! I may have left the Flash for awhile, but I started to pick it up again once I started hearing good things about Geoff Johns/Scott Kolins. And after that great Brian Bolland cover with the Rogues, Flash #184, I haven't left the Flash since. Kolins is my current favorite Flash artist, and I got to get a sketch done by him of Wally as the Flash. I'll have to bring it into the store so you can see it. I look forward to discovering more Flash treasures as I slowly build my collection, so thanks again for bringing in your collection, and restocking the back issues with Bronze age Flash issues!! And I hope you can share some more of your art collection in the store in the future! Thanks! Domingo Hi Phil!
