| San Diego Comic Con 1973 Stan Lee?
I have published my photo of me at the San Diego Comic Con from 1973 several times before in previous blog posts and on the web site. I have also published a few excerpts from my story of my personal history with the Con, back when it was known as 'The Golden State Comic Con' in 1970 at the U.S. Grant Hotel. It then became known as 'San Diego's West Coast Comic Con in 1972 while at the El Cortez Hotel. The con ended up as the 'San Diego Comic Con' in 1973 at the Sheraton Hotel, keeping that name until 1995 when it started going by 'Comic Con International'. However in 1973 there were only approximately 1,100 of us in attendance. I had set up a table by myself to sell at this Con, and thus was not able to break away for the programs or to even meet all the pros! It appears I must have missed Neal Adams, June Foray, Jack Kirby, Carmine Infantino, DC Fontana, and now even Stan Lee! That's right!Even tho I was there... I don't recall meeting all of these celebrities and pros at that time! I did meet them in later years tho! I am so glad that nowadays, going on 35 years later, that Tina and I make a good team in standing in line for each other, or attending one program while another one is running that we are interested in! And no, I gave up setting up a booth at the Con years ago! I have much more fun now buying and attending programs so I don't miss the pros or celebs!! Thanks for reading our pop culture - comics - comic book blog post! Michael |
