Amazing Spider-Man #1. Fantastic Four #1. Hulk #1. X-Men #1. Tales Of Suspense #39 (First Iron Man). Journey Into Mystery #83 (First Thor). Some of the hottest Silver Age comic books that exist.

WWE wrestler-turned-actor Sheamus was was at the con. A little more restrained, he bought some Kenneth Rocafort Comics & Ponies merchandise for Bebop & Rocksteady. He's a big TMNT fan, and came out to see Kevin Eastman...
