San Diego Comic-Con International

San Diego Comic-Con International is a multigenre entertainment and comic convention held annually in San Diego, California. It was founded as the Golden State Comic Book Convention in 1970 by a group of San Diegans, which included Shel Dorf, Richard Alf, Ken Krueger, and Mike Towry; later, it was called the "San Diego Comic Book Convention". The name, as given on its website, is Comic-Con International: San Diego; but it is commonly known simply as Comic-Con or the San Diego Comic-Con or "SDCC".〔(Shel Dorf Tribute )〕〔(Ken Krueger Tribute )〕 It is a four-day event (Thursday–Sunday) held during the summer at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. On the Wednesday evening prior to the official opening of the event, there is a preview for professionals, exhibitors, and select guests pre-registered for all four days.
Comic-Con International also produces two other conventions, WonderCon, held in Anaheim, California, and the Alternative Press Expo (APE), held in San Francisco. Since 1974, Comic-Con has bestowed its annual Inkpot Award on guests and persons of interest in the popular arts industries, as well as on members of Comic-Con's board of directors and the Convention committee. It is also the home of the Will Eisner Awards.
Originally showcasing primarily comic books and science fiction/fantasy related film, television, and similar popular arts, the convention now includes a larger range of pop culture and entertainment elements across virtually all genres, including horror, animation, anime, manga, toys, collectible card games, video games, webcomics, and fantasy novels. According to ''Forbes'', the convention is the "largest convention of its kind in the world;" ''Publishers Weekly'' wrote "Comic-Con International: San Diego is the largest show in North America;" it is also the largest convention held in San Diego. In 2010, it filled the San Diego Convention Center to capacity with more than 130,000 attendees.〔
==History and organization==
The convention was founded in 1970 by Shel Dorf, Richard Alf, Ken Krueger, Mike Towry, and Greg Bear.〔〔 Detroit, Michigan-born comics fan Shel Dorf, had in the mid-1960s mounted the Detroit Triple-Fan Fairs, one of the first commercial comics-fan conventions. When he moved to San Diego, California in 1970,〔("Founder of Comic-Con Dies at 76" ), City News Service via Fox5SanDiego.com, November 4, 2009〕 he organized a one-day convention (Golden State Comic-Minicon) on March 21, 1970 "as a kind of 'dry run' for the larger convention he hoped to stage." Dorf went on to be associated with the convention as president or manager, variously, for years until becoming estranged from the organization.〔Evanier, Mark. (POV Online (column of November 3, 2009): "Shel Dorf, R.I.P." )〕 Alf co-chaired the first convention with Krueger and became chairman in 1971.〔
Following the initial gathering, Dorf's first three-day San Diego comics convention, the Golden State Comic-Con,〔 drew 300 people〔Comic-Con Souvenir Book No. 40 p.61 (2009)〕 and was held at the U.S. Grant Hotel〔 from August 1–3, 1970.〔Rowe, Peter. ("Obituary: Sheldon Dorf; Comic-Con co-founder" ). 'The San Diego Union-Tribune''. Sign On San Diego. November 4, 2009〕 Other locations in the convention's early years included the El Cortez Hotel, the University of California, San Diego, and Golden Hall, before being moved to the San Diego Convention Center in 1991. Richard Alf, chairman in 1971, has noted an early factor in the Con's growth was an effort "to expand the Comic-Con () committee base by networking with other fandoms such as the Society for Creative Anachronism and the Mythopoeic Society, among others. (We found a lot of talent and strength through diversity)."〔"Comic Con Memories The 70s". Comic-Con Souvenir Book No. 40 p.75 (2009)〕 By the late 1970s the show had grown to such an extent that Bob Schreck recalled visiting with his then-boss Gary Berman of Creation Conventions and reflecting, "While () kept repeating (attempting to convince himself) 'This show's not any bigger than ours!' I was quietly walking the floor stunned and in awe of just how much bigger it really was. I was blown away."〔"Comic Con Memories The 80s". Comic-Con Souvenir Book No. 40 p.90 (2009)〕
The convention is organized by a panel of 13 board members, 16 to 20 full-time and part-time workers, and 80 volunteers who assist via committees. Comic Con International is a non-profit organization, and proceeds of the event go to funding it, as well as the Alternative Press Expo (APE) and WonderCon.〔 The convention logo was designed by Richard Bruning and Josh Beatman in 1995. In September 2010, the convention announced that it would stay in San Diego through 2015.〔("Comic-Con To Stay in SD At Least Through 2015" ). 10news.com. September 30, 2010〕〔Kilpatrick, Conor. ("Comic-Con International to stay in San Diego through 2015" ). iFanboy.com. Retrieved September 2010〕 In 2015, working with Lionsgate, a video channel was created to host Comic-Con related content.〔

According to the San Diego Convention and Visitor's Bureau the convention has an annual regional economic impact of $162.8 million,〔
〕 with a $180 million economic impact in 2011.
