San Diego 1980, and whipper snapper Scott Williams is first bitten by the original art bug. Needless to say, he and his wallet were never the same thereafter.

Congrats on your unforgettable first taste of original art, I've had to wait about 15 years since then to finally have mine :)

At first glance, I thought it was a pic of Bill Clinton. Lol. It's amazing to see all those grail pieces all at 1 dealer table. Thanks for sharing Scott. Cheers! N.

I got the Batman 243 cover over 20 years later Tom. Needless to say, the cost was a tad more than what it might have gone for in the early 80's. LOL!

Oh my god, all these Neal Adams covers. And there, just on the left of your face, the Incredible Adventure into Fear#11 cover ! Such a beauty even if a closer look shows it reversed according to the printed book picture. Anyway also a very good taste indeed with this Strange Adventures book in your hand. Congratulations Scott SDCC was probably fantastic to live in 1980.

What information can other collectors provide about Sandy Blatt? When I started collecting in 1990, I do not recall his still being around at the SDCC. BTW, long live the old San Diego Civic Center. My first very show was the last year this site hosted the SDCC.
