Suzanne Smith calls her husband to find out what “Star Wars” items he wants while her sons Kyle, middle, 4, and Cody, right, 2, show her what they want at the 2005 Stockdale High Comic Book and Gaming Show.
That’s a statement that probably won’t be disputed.
Tens of thousands of comic books will be on sale, and innumerable toys, action figures and other collectibles will be on hand.
The 23rd annual Stockdale High Comic Book & Gaming Show takes place Saturday.
“For the gamer or someone into trading cards, there should be something there for everyone,” said show coordinator Tony Valenti.
A Halo2 tournament gets under way at 11:30 a.m., and other card tournaments will also be held.
Proceeds from the show benefit the Stockdale High School senior college scholarship fund.
• Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Stockdale High School cafeteria, 2800 Buena Vista Road. (Corner of White Lane and Buena Vista Road)
• $3 includes one free comic book; Halo2 tournament entry is $10, sign-up starts at 10:30 a.m.
• Phone: 654-0903.
