วีดีโอ

I recently found a Tomb of Dracula #18 crossover with Werewolf by night French Edition (mid high grade)that i have added to my collection. The French books definitely had interesting covers.

Viva la France! Thanks for the images from there and from inside the shops!

Hey Leo, get out of those comic shops and go to Versailles, the Louvre and Las Invalides ( favorite), etc.!

This was great! Thanks for sharing the experience!

You could have taken the chance to pick up some actual European comics. Particularly, you could have asked if they had comics made by LEO. LEO is a Brazilian artist who's lived in France for over 40 years, and he mostly does science fiction, about deep space exploration and colonization.

Leo, great video, appears you are having/had a good time. That lunch seemed more American that French to me! Coincidentally, my sister and her family were just in Paris (they flew back two days ago).

That is truly fascinating. I'm amazed at the availability and amount of American 🇺🇸 comics! This video is a delight! Thanks for the upload Leo! Bon Frits!

what a tour! Il ya nouveux. Its great and new. Good hunting and travels.! Don't forget to taste some of the famous bread they make over there and some of the wine.

yes! comic books are available in France, to. Mais Oui! C'est fantastique, non? Even there, you can find comic books!

🇫🇷French Quickseen Leo , very tasty to savor fair our American titles translated though I am slightly ALl BUMmed out that you didn't explore the interiors of Lili and Charlot ; which from their covers appeared to be of the humor / Archie category. A neat see through them would have been interesting ; comparing French humor with the American style. Oui appreciate your taking time to include us in yore travel. Mere see we the sights but what we saw Vive La France!

a fun looking con . thanks for bringing us along

Hey Leo, loved the episode! Nice local con and you picked up a ton of great comics! Take it easy my friend!

i love the beginning to see digging in the boxes to see which ones i already have !

🤓 BELAive in the CONtent this episode presents Leo. The simple , small and satisfying surroundings of comic collecting. The music played during the Tales Of Suspense short box display definitely was of a cool 60s era vibe that added to the sense of real time sight seeing. A nice mixture of genre titles ; reprints certainly can be classified as being time travel lore. What is old becomes new / knew again which (hopefully) may become a truism for future Conventions.

Amazing haul! That con really looks fun.

You are my favourite TH-camr at the moment. Your passion and joy brings me back to the early days of TH-cam. It’s fascinating to watch your videos getting better each time you upload. Keep it up, I’m sure the algorithm will pick you up sooner or later and make you big.

Time Travel Comics reporting from Bela Con! Doing interviews, exploring a small local convention (these are the best!), getting the facts! And what an amazing haul! Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze and Modern. Vintage Charlton, Gold Key, DC, etc. Romance, sci-fi, war, funny cartoons, etc. * * * The Tippy Teen is a great catch! I've never even seen an issue in the wilds. * * * Love the From Beyond the Unknown reprint series! * * * By the way, UFO Flying Saucers and UFO & Outer Space are the same series. The name just changed during it's run. * * * Original Ditko Blue Beetle from Charlton for $5! What a sweet bargain! * * * Hagar the Horrible is also one of my favorite comic strip since I was a kid (second only to Peanuts).

Awesome artist and covers!

Fantastic! Very nice little tribute to one of my favorite female artists!

Shogun Warriors all the way!

You started with Space Adventures #17, but the first appearance of Rocky Jones in Space Adventures is from #15. Are you just using comics you have a physical copy of, or did you think #17 was better than 15 and 16? I looked up the issues on Comic Book Plus.

I love his work!

A 4 in 1 Charlton comic? Wow!

That 4 in 1 is a great comic and a wonderful find!

Loving that Adventure Comics 431 behind your left shoulder

I see lots of goodies at the convention! Great to join you and The Captain for lunch again! The burgers look great! Harlo's menu actually reminds me of a comic cover. I enjoyed all the nice covers of the books that you both picked up. Woah, that Blue Bolt has seen better days! It seems a rarity though and for a book from the '40s, that seems a decent price. Have a pleasant weekend fellas! ~Eric

Nice footage of what appeared to be a fantastic convention! I moved from central Illinois in 2004 so I never attended that show but I may try to get there for the next one. Great pick-ups of both the pulps and the comics Leo! Loved the episode!

Outstanding find. Great book to have in your collection 👌

Love Frank Thorne’s work on Sonja but definitely Conan

Really neat! The King Features binder copy was very interesting.

Leo, great video. Wish I could have been there. I am familiar with Terry's Comics. He was a longtime dealer at the San Diego Comicon back in the 90's when I was attending that convention. He has actually been to a small show here in Denver a few times. I've only bought a few things from him over the years as he is very expensive. Did you find that to be the case? Overall, how were the prices? I don't collect pulps, but always good to see those fantastic covers.

Time had an article on the first(?) pulp convention on july 10 1939!

Very enjoyable.

thank you for taking us along

Fantastic old time comics! Nostalgia art and when Sci fi and comic books were young and rich with ideas!

That looked like a fabulous show with all the pulps and vintage comic books. You certainly picked up some great stuff. I like looking at the pulp covers but this is a rabbit hole I'm trying very, very hard to stay away from. I do own a lot of pulp stories collected editions and I adore the stories from that era. You were on to something there on pointing out the link between pulps and comics. Gardner Fox is far from the only one who made the transition from pulp to comics. The architect of DC's awesome Silver Age, Julius Schwartz, was a literary agent for many pulp writers, and even partnered with future Superman editor Mort Weisenger (who also wrote for pulps and became editor of the Thrilling Wonder Stories pulp magazine) for a while. Among the many pulp writers who also worked in comics are: Otto Binder (who wrote around 500 stories for Fawcett's Captain Marvel family of titles, and later co-created the Legion of Super-heroes and Supergirl), David V. Reed (who wrote a lot of Batman stories up to the 70's, co-creating Deadshot), Alfred Bester (who wrote the original Green Lantern Oath in the Golden Age), Manly Wade Wellman (who wrote for Fawcett comics and wrote The Spirit while Will Eisner was serving in the military during WWII), Edmond Hamilton (writer of the influential Captain Future pulp hero, and later a regular on Julius Schwartz edited Strange Adventures sci-fi anthology and author of many early Legion of Super-heroes classic tales).

😎 When They Sit Thee , Pulppare to be Amazed as I was with both those Gingerlicious covers of The Galsexy Redhairs .. I mean Raiders and that earlier screened Sheena cover ! "Enough of the pulps" Leo? 😄😄😄... Never enough pulpsating perspectives pacing passed us. Oh back sometime in the late 1980s I spent some time at a local Con traveling sightfully through a vendors collection of pulp magazines as well as some bag & boarded pulp covers ; I bought 6 magazines (circa late 1940s and early 1950s ) and 6 pulp covers (circa 1950s). Yes, not only is the cover art splendid but so are many of the interior illustrations. I've always been a fan of anthologies and that's what I really enjoy about pulps and comics such as those DC and ACG you showed. Comic strips are King IMO and not only those featured in that splendid issue you Kingly showed us. I apologize if I've mentioned this before Leo but it is a fan-cination for me when it comes to Archie ; as you've noticed on many early 50s Riverdale cover issues Betty & Jughead are often together. I believe there were plans to couple them up as had been done on a few episodes of the Archie radio show. I for one who am a fan of both characters , picking up their individual titles from the spinner rack , would have been agreeable to the idea , especially with Harry Lucey and Sam Schwartz (early 1970s ) doing the artwork.

Those are some sharp-looking books. Love the art, especially on SHEENA. Some wild and expressive layouts. Gotta love that leopard-print.

Greetings Leo! Wonderful AOK from LP! Another one I hadn’t seen before.. Very nice. Great pick-ups from your LCS also.. Love all the sci fi, GK, and Charlton goodness.. Was just rebagging and boarding some of my Phantom issues a couple of nights ago. Thanks for sharing my friend! Take care 😊

Wow such a awesome book and it says Jumbo! On the front. So much good stuff inside too . Thanks for the travel back in time.

great old stories!Not familiar with Lead Paint. Will have to check him out. Pacific Comics , Silver star are great displays of the stories and art that were abundant in those old days.

🗣 " hEY O'Kay are you visiting us today?" "Yes, yes " she smiles " Comics are on their way!" , " Where , where ?" we wide eyed stare😲! As she tousles her ginger hair she points "Over there!" , Leo's Laboratory of Lasting Literature is where! Speaking of Ginger hair , Yes indeed Leo do I stare : Silver is not the Star on that Kirby PC book the Ginger alongside him is ; Red Sonja in any pose is all I knows! I too have those : UFO: Flying Saucer , 25¢ Strange Adventures and Charlton's Phantom! To respond to your question of "who was the first super hero?" I offer Mel Graff's Phantom Magician who appeared in The Adventures of Patsy comic strip circa 1935 ; a swashbuckling style costume and domino mask , supernatural powers and the ability to fly as well as predating Marvel's Mighty Thor with a similar way of communicating with his father -- the King of Magicians ! Smilin'Jack without moustache on the cover of promo book ; Jack grows a moustache in an early 1940s adventure when he is mistakenly imprisoned on a Devils Island type prison. Love the Felix , Donald and Mighty Mouse additions to your collection and Yes , indeed Everything's Archie 👍!

Great gift from the great Lead Paint! Always impressed with the wonderful content. Im looking for that 160 pager from Archie

Great that you received and enjoy the book Leo! Lots of other nice pick-ups as well! Love the channel my friend!

All the comics you showed today are great, I’m a big Jack Kirby fan and your Silver Star #3 is a good one to have and all the other Pacific comics

Maybe canon is better😊

Fantastic...I was a major Charlton fan...goldkey too.

How did I miss this? 😱 Amazing sci-fi goodness and space ships! Well done Leo!

Hey Leo! Wow, what a great find! I’d never seen or heard of this book before 😮And what a fantastic package with those 4 features ! As a Charlton fan I may have a hard time finding this, but is definitely going on my list ! Thanks for sharing! 😊

Fabulous find! This is so rare. Thanks for showing us inside this beauty.👏
