For comic book fans, there are two, count them two (2) reasons to head to Wallingford this weekend.
First, Comics Dungeon (319 NE 45th St) is having an anniversary sale / mini-convention / block party this weekend, August 9th and 10th:
This will be our biggest summer sale yet! With the support of our neighbors at Frame Central we are taking over the block! We will be bringing in dozens of back issue boxes from our convention stock and setting up tables on the sidewalks and the Frame Central parking lot. We will also have 2 food trucks here for each day of the event! Plus cosplayers every day, and customers are welcome to show up in costume!
There look to be about a dozen or so special guests throughout the weekend. Check out their Facebook page for details.
Coincidentally, we think, Deborah Mallory of the Sophisticated Swine writes:
I will be having a Wallingford Comic Con Estate Sale on Saturday, August 9th from 9:00-4:00. There are over 1,000 collectible toys for sale. There are many items never out of the box. I have Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Battlestar, Star Trek, Dunny’s, Muppets, Halo Nightmare before Christmas, Corpse Bride and many more. Come in costume. Door prize for best dressed.
Address: 2312 N 57th St. All proceeds go to Clients Childrens’ Scholarship Fund.
I’m not sure what the Client’s Childrens Scholarship Fund is, or whether it’s supposed to be capitalized. but there ya go.
