Hi Bernie,

Do you have any info on the first Comic Con in 1964 NY? I have had these forever. They are believed to be tabletop standees, that stood on the tables of the 1964 NY Comic Con.

Batman / Flash

Although they are in a frame, they are tabletop standees and have rigid cardboard attached behind frame ( as seen in one of my pictures ). Each one measures 2′ x 3’…

Looking for any other info or anyone that may have original picture of 1964 Comic Con, or someone that is still alive that may have attended to verify? Also, Keen Wong had framed these ( he is now a famous artist )!

I can send photos of the two standees…

It is these kind of comments that keep me writing about one of my favorite subjects, comic books!
Thanks again for stopping by! – greg

Gee what a nice review for the book. I have to give author/editor J. Ballmann all the credit for never giving up during his search for all the forgotten or lost memories of this convention. I never thought he could fill over 250 pages with so much information and photos. We were just kids and we wanted to put on a comic book convention and never thought about preserving anything for history. We were just having fun. Glad to see you got a kick out of it. Ballmann outdid himself in the reconstruction of that day’s minute by minute timeline. I felt I was still there.
