Comic-Con and Fan Culture

Posted by Luke Arnott Jul 19, 2009

With the San Diego Comic-Con International this weekend, I thought I'd rummage through my old back issues to get some perspective on how comics artists and writers have satirized Fan Culture and Comics Conventions over the years. Enjoy!

(Also, I have to admit it's a good way to fill out the category here on Suite – when they were setting up the comics sub-categories before my FW tenure, it got put in, but alas, no one writes for it. A rather narrow topic, I think. It may be a while before categories can – if ever – be rearranged, for technical reasons. We'll just have to deal with it.)

But, we do have an article on the Comic-Con's background, so check it out. Reminisce about the old days, before Comic-Con was sold out months in advance, or before you had to enter a draw to stand in line to meet Stan Lee (like there will be this year).
