Est. at the Century Bowling Alley · St. Louis
The Midwest’s Oldest Comic Book Show
From humble roots at a local bowling lane to the show that generations of collectors still circle on the calendar. The Spector Club has never missed a beat.
The Story
It started on the lanes
The Spector Club began at the Century Bowling Alley with a handful of folding tables and a few boxes of back issues. Word traveled. Tables multiplied. The lanes gave way to bigger halls, and every iteration since has carried the same thing forward: a room full of people who love comics.
What to Expect
A show built for collectors
Dealers & Artists
Vetted dealers, working artists, and small-press creators under one roof. Talk shop, get a sketch, and meet the people behind the panels.
A St. Louis Tradition
Decades of showing up, every iteration. This is the room where St. Louis collectors have swapped stories, and stacks, for generations.
Back-Issue Bins
Aisles of longboxes from Golden Age keys to last week’s releases. Dig deep. You’ll find the book you’ve been chasing for years.
