Comic Book Conventions
An internationally known comic book convention is held in San Diego, CA and is known as Comic Con or as Comic Con International: San Diego. It is a four day convention that has been going on since the 1970s when Shel Dorf founded it. There are two other conventions held annually by the same organization but are in San Francisco, WonderCon and the Alternative Press Expo.
The conventions are held to showcase comic books. In addition, the convention also features science fiction, fantasy, television, and film. Because the convention has gained momentum over the years, the convention has broadened its feature topics. At the convention you will also learn about fantasy novels, anime, horror, collectible card games, webcomics, video games, and manga. On average at the San Diego Comic Con there are 125,000 attendees. If you are a part of these industries, you can have the chance to win the Inkpot Award.
At the convention you will participate, see, and hear different panels, workshops, and seminars. All of which are held by comic book professionals. Comic con is held in a large venue because they need a lot of floor space for everything that is offered at the convention. There are a lot of exhibits to see about comic books, TV networks, and media production companies. Comic book collectors show off their prized possession comic books, and merchants are there to sell them as well. After buying a comic book, or bringing your own, you can get them signed. Comic Con has what they call Artists’ Alley set up. Different comic artists and writers are lined up and willing to autograph their comic books.
This summer the Comic Con convention is being held July 23-26. There is a preview night that will take place on July 22 at the San Diego Convention Center. However, if you don’t have your tickets already, you won’t be able to go. The convention has already sold out. The first time the convention sold out was last year, 2008. The convention has come a long way since its debut 40 years ago. The first convention was held at the U.S. Grant Hotel, in San Diego, and was only a one day event. The first convention was held as a test to see if people would be interest in later conventions. They used the event to raise funds for San Diego Comic Con. The first show was a hit and set the ground work for the next 40 years.
