I love the comic show that happens in the VFW found at 7300 Lansdowne in Shrewsbury. Put on the Spector Club, it is consistently full of great comics at a wide range of price points. There are plenty of big and fancy major key issues as well as a ton of dollar (or less!) books! I got out there early in the day and had so much fun browsing, chatting, trading, and buying!
A bunch of my friends were there including Spike of Lost in Space Toys and Collectibles, John from Bigfoot Comics, as well as Tom of Alliance Comics, Toys, and Games, to name a few. They had a great mix of comics and I enjoyed visiting with my chum Jack of Fortress Comics--he had lots of $5 Silver and Bronze series! Dave from All American Collectibles was busy working with Spike to coordinate the show and I was happy to see him too.

The show had a good mix of modern and older books--with my expertise being, "Newer," stuff from the 2000s and up but I loved looking at the vintage comics from the 80s, 70s, 60s, and even older! There were some new sellers at the show as well as folks who set up at almost every event. I always love digging in the short and longboxes at this comic show as I find cool stuff at basically every seller's table! The next show is May 5th and getting in costs only three bucks after 10AM with kiddos free (six dollars for early-bird attendees at 9AM). I'd encourage anyone who will be in the area on May 5th to visit the next Spector Club Comic Show and enjoy all the neat stuff you'll find on sale!
