Black & white interiors, with some full color ads, has small pics and bios of various media and comic book guests, ads from shops and companies, some gaming and Anime company info. Ask me if you need to know about the major guests. All mine were mailed to me so have the address printed on back, and some handling wear. I see some places asking $3-$10 for these, don't know why. Buy mine cheaper, only $1 each! (View all my Megacon programs):
- 2002 − Nice Green Arrow cover painting, artist unknown. Minor handling, let's give it a VF.
- 2003 − Nice Witchblade and Magdalena cover by FJM and Gorder. VF/VF+.
- 2005 − Green Lantern vs. Sinestro cover (Hal Jordan GL it appears), by Peters? Has light fold line up the right side through 'Megacon', but not creased, affects cover and a few pages. F/VF.
- 2006 − Superman vs. invisible guy in tuxedo riding a flaming head horse? By George Perez. Light mailing fold up the middle, mostly noticeable on bottom half but doesn't bother the looks much.
