About Comic-Con International
Comic-Con International: San Diego began in 1970 when a group of
comics, movie, and science fiction fans – including the late Shel
Dorf, Ken Krueger, and Richard Alf – banded together to put on the
first comic book convention in southern California. From the
beginning, the founders of the show set out to include not only the
comic books they loved, but also other aspects of the popular arts
that they enjoyed and felt deserved wider recognition, including
films and science fiction/fantasy literature. Comic-Con has
presented literally thousands of special guests at its conventions
over the years, bringing comics creators, science fiction and
fantasy authors, film and television directors, producers, and
writers, and creators from all aspects of the popular arts together
with their fans for a fun and often times candid discussion of
various art forms. That love of the comics medium continues to be
its guiding factor as the event moves toward its second
half-century as the premier comic book and popular arts style
convention in the world.
