Anyone with an interest in pop-culture sub-genres, like myself, will find a blissful smile uplift their face in the presence of so much "junk." G.I. Joe dolls in action poses, Simpsons dioramas and full-scale sculptures of creatures from the Lord of Rings movies get museum-like attention. And why shouldn't they? Andy Warhol, who you can easily imagine walking around the Con, redefined...
