Which was good since this year we were fighting a deadline while working to debut our all new expanded space we were renovating in the months leading up to the event. Luckily we were done just in time to reveal the new space on Free Comic Book Day, adding almost 4,000 Square Feet of space to the existing layout bringing the store to almost 9,000 square feet overall. We worked all day on Friday filling our goodie bags and prepping for the day with staff leaving at Midnight, we returned at around 5:00 AM to start setting up. Baltimore Local Business Zeke's Coffee set up on the corner to sling coffee to our line of early birds and staff. The first person in line showed up at 4:30 PM on Friday May 3rd (Day Before) and by 5:00 AM Saturday Morning over 150 fans lined up. At 9:00 AM more than 600 fans patiently waited in a line that stretched 5 Blocks into the neighborhood! We Opened the doors and allowed fans to start grabbing their Free Comics in the tents at 9:00 AM. This year we were giving out 50 Iron Man 3 Movie Tickets to the first 50 people in line, and $75 worth of Merchandise including Graphic Novels, Comics and Collectibles to the first 50 people in line as well as $25 in Merchandise to the next 50 in line. .

Noel sketched, signed and greeted fans all day. The winners of our 3rd Annual FCBD Costume Contest were Drow Elf Female, Loki & Harry Potter. Again we noticed even more children and families this year and it was another record breaking event for the store with two registers blazing with lines from the counter to the front door from 9:00 AM til 9:00 PM. We had this documentary of being filmed by WISE Films during the day with interviews and footage from morning til afternoon along with our own in store videos taken by volunteers & fans along with photos by professional photographer, Pete Redel. Collectors Corner would like to thank everyone again for making this year our Biggest & Best Free Comic Book Day ever. Huge thanks to our customers who spread the word that not only is Collectors Corner the best place to be for FCBD in Baltimore, but the Best place to be every Wednesday for New Comics and to hang out at anytime. Without our awesome customers none of these events would be possible and thanks to all the amazing artists, photographers, film-makers and models as well as volunteers for the day. Now we start planning for next year...

Collectors Cornered #40 - Collectors Con MD!

Collectors Cornered is a weekly video column, filmed inside Collectors Corner in Baltimore. Join us every week as we discuss comic book news from a different point of view and get instant feedback from real customers on New Comics Day, as we literally corner them and and ask questions about comic books and related topics. Unscripted, reality CC. This Installment we cover Collectors Con MD (www.collectorsconmd.com), Our First attempt as a Store at Organizing and running our own Pop Culture Convention. The goal was to cover more than just comic books and try to encapsulate more of the pop culture genre from comics to games, toys and beyond. We worked hard to bring together local, regional and out of state vendors selling everything from Arts & Crafts to Comic Books, video games and everything in between. We set up our own booth and staffed the Con with volunteers waiting for fans to pour in. Almost 400 attendees came through the doors and including tons of costumed kids and adults ready to compete in our cosplay contest and shop. Artists and Creators set up in Artists Alley including HC Noel, GCP Comics, Vince Sneed, Rob Emm, Greg LaRocque, Marc Hempel, Neil Vokes, JT Krul, Fred Van Lente, Mike Riley, Matt Heuston & David Crispino (CC's Store Manager). Comic Book Men's co-star Robert Bruce not only joined us as a Vendor in the Dealer's Room but hosted a Panel talking about collecting and pop culture. We also featured panels from local film makers, Aspen Comics with JT Krul, IDW Comics with Fred Van Lente and hosted Super Art Fight and a super cool costume contest too.
