The Comic-Con Experience 2008

Since that first convention in 1970, with just 300 people in attendance, San Diego Comic-Con has been devoted to the celebration of the popular arts. While the heart of Comic-Con may be comic books and graphic novels, over the years the event has developed into something of a geek haven, with little bit of everything, appealing to fans across genres. It is this culture of diversity, this unabashed love of popular art – including horror – that now draws over 100,000 people to the San Diego Convention Center, including the staff of Classic-Horror.com

While our main reasons for going to Comic-Con is to cover upcoming horror event and gain modern insight into horror past, even our dedicated staff isn’t immune to the draw and culture of Comic-Con. We may be press, but we’re also conventioneers. And, with this in mind, we at Classic-Horror.com will be bringing you The Comic-Con Experience, a series of six feature highlights from the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con.
