Our last episode was one of our most popular yet, so for our eighth installment, we hit the road yet again, this time to Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC! My guest for the first hour is Benno Rothschild. Benno is the former editor of the CFA-APA (Comic and Fantasy Art, Amateur Press Association) and a 40+ year collector of original comic art. Benno asked to talk about enjoying the hobby without being a high-roller. So the unofficial theme of this episode is "collecting on a budget".   But no episode would be complete without some mention of Frank Miller's THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS (sorry!). Check out his historic DKR splash, along with other favorites, on his show-and-tell video on our YouTube channel:     Our second hour is a roundtable discussion with artist Nick Pitarra and collectors Shannon Slayton and Jimmy Lawrence where we talk commissions! We've all had a lot of experience getting them and share the good, the bad, and the ugly!   Follow us on , , and . Also, subscribe to our YouTube channel ().
