Comic Con International: San Diego 2017
Comic-Con International: San Diego began in 1970 when a group of comics, movie and science-fiction fans, including Shel Dorf, Ken Krueger and Richard Alf, put on the first comic-book convention in Southern California. Comic-Con started on March 21, 1970, as a one-day event called San Diego's Golden State Comic-Minicon, held at the U.S. Grant Hotel in downtown. The purpose of this single-day event — which included special guests Forrest J Ackerman and Mike Royer and drew about 100 attendees — was to raise funds and generate interest for a larger convention. The success of the minicon led to the full-fledged, three-day San Diego's Golden State Comic-Con, held August 1–3, 1970, at the same locale, with guests Ray Bradbury, Jack Kirby and A. E. van Vogt. Over 300 attendees packed into the hotel's basement for that groundbreaking event, which featured a dealers' room, programs and panels, film screenings, and more: essentially, the model for every comic-book convention to follow.6:30-7:30 Apex Comics Group Universe — Stan Lee God Woke and William Shatner War Chronicles Writer/Artist/Publisher, Mariano Nicieza proudly announceS the launch of a new comic book imprint!
