COMIC-CON 2012: STEVE GEPPI MUSEUM

Steve Geppi, the founder and owner of Diamond Distributors, the largest comic direct distributor since 1982, was quite generous with funding the Richard Alf memorial dinner at the U.S. Grant Hotel during Comic-Con. One act of generosity that was much appreciated by all attendees at the dinner was the gift bag that I am posting the contents of here. The highlight is a wonderful hardback book on pop culture. This is the exhibition catalogue to the permanent collection at Geppi’s Entertainment Museum. It is entitled, “Pop Culture with Character,” by Dr. Arnold T. Blumberg. What a delight. I definitely want to go see this for myself! Located in Baltimore, Maryland, it is a must-see.
