Valiant represented - sort of - Geppi's Entertainment Museum

Post by greg »

My wife is having a conference in Washington, D.C.,
so I am along for the ride. Today, I went to Baltimore
and visited Geppi's Entertainment Museum.

I knew that one Valiant book was there, because I had seen a photo,
but there are actually four Valiant books on display in the museum.
The museum has thousands of comics on display, so it's cool that Valiant
has four books, but it's not exactly like it's a Valiant museum.
Most visitors probably won't even notice them. :P

A buddy of mine and I are planning a trip out there pretty soon.

I only live about 20 miles south of DC. I work 11 miles from the Pentagon. How long are you going to be in the area?

I actually have a couple of those Nintendo comics.

Still, X-O #1 or something would have been better to put.

It's right next door to Camden Yards... literally.
I think that's actually a photo of the back of the building (from the train stop).
The front of the building looks like a courthouse.
(But the entrance is in the back, so I guess that is the right side to show.) :think: :P
