Fun video, especially when I am in it during the 1980 segment. The con sure has changed over the years.

Omg, that’s my son at the 30:15 mark in the Batman outfit lol. He was 5 years old-and just turned 18 this year. I exhibit every year and so he attends each year as well, as we did this past year. He’s wearing a pin button for my comic book series. I had never seen this clip before, what a shock it was to see this after I randomly decided to play this report in the background as I worked.

Thank you for showing what the real Comicon used to be like. It got taken over by people who are way to into stuff like CosPlay and all that and made it kind of overdone. Just people who enjoyed reading and sharing comics.

This is a wonderful mostly spot on accurate 36-minute history of San Diego Comicon which Randy Reynaldo brought to our attention this morning. This local TV production rightfully names Shel Dorf as founder. He mistakes Shel's previous comics convention roots to New York City when he should have mentioned Shel was also a founder beginning in 1964 of Detroit Triple Fan Fair with Jerry Bails, Ed April, Jack Promo & others. Am pleasantly surprised to show up at the 1:30 mark. Right after my edited segment, long time friend David Scroggy chimes in. We witness Terry Stroud (LA), Bill Emerson (NY), Bob Clampett, Ray Bradbury, Jack Kirby and many more long time SDCC attendees as it grew. And grew. Well worth scoping out. Enjoy

I googled the current prices of those comics that were selling for $250-$700 - some are commanding a $12k to $30k price tag now 😳😳😳

Blows my mind to see how mainstream comics have become, I got out of it at 18 because it was still considered kid stuff (except for the prices).
