Abstract
A comic-con may seem like a strange fit for a library. People may think of comic books as an inferior form of literature, or not as literature at all, and they may think of a comic-con as a commercial enterprise (which it can be, but often isn’t). The most famous comic-con, popularly known as the Comic-Con, is the International Comic-Con: San Diego. Started in 1970, it has since grown to draw upwards of 13,000 people, and features superstar creators and authors of the comic, sci-fi, and fantasy world.
