I went in 1980 for the first time. It was big then but it's HUGE now.

Marvel, DC dominated but there were European comics like Asterix and Heavy Metal. Also underground comics. A little bit of animation but no anime. Can't remember if there were manga. Stan Lee, John Buscema were there. The brilliant Frank Frazetta too. Saw HR Giger - the guy who designed the monsters for the movie Alien. No movie stars or anything like that though. I was 14.

The art styles were nice back then too: I think I would enjoy a Comic Con that focused just on comics, and the entertainment side could be its own Con. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah big money ruined comic con to me. You used to be able to really have conversations with the people. Jim Shooter - the editor in chief at Marvel asked me a question! That would never happen these days. Now it's a god damn circus.
It should be 100% comics, maybe some movie tie-ins but not all the other shit. I'm biased but yeah, I agree with you. 70's & 80's comics were great. The look, the smell. I loved everything about them. I still have about 20 somewhere. Frank Miller's Daredevil, Powerman (Luke Cage). Good shit. --- It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The Big Apple Comic Con is closer to that at least in terms of smaller scale, but it still focuses on the entertainment side too. I was able to have a nice conversation with Joe Madureira without his attention being split at least.

It's usually a couple months before ComiCon. --- It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. ... Copied to Clipboard!
