Sheldon Dorf, who founded the world famous Comic-Con International comic book convention, has died. He was 76. A longtime friend, Greg Koudoulian, says the Ocean Beach resident died at a San Diego hospital on Tuesday from kidney failure. He had diabetes and had been hospitalized for about a year. Dorf, a freelance artist and comic strip letterer, founded Comic-Con in San Diego in 1970 after moving from Detroit. Today, the convention draws 125,000 fans a year and is a major gathering for comic book fans, artists, writers and movie stars. Koudoulian says Dorf was friends with comic greats such as Marvel artist Jack Kirby ... Read Full Story

4-day passes for the 2010 Comic-con International San Diego, which won't be held for another eight months (in late July 2010), have now already sold out. The total attendance at the four day event is now capped at 125,000 each year. Last month, only three comic books sold even 100,000 copies, with the #1 seller being a mere 137,000 copies. The only two that I still buy on a semi-regular basis sold 9,000 and 14,000 copies last month, respectively. Those figures give a fairly stark numerical insight into how little "comic book" there really is in the San Diego Comic-Con each year now. Read Full Story

Now that the comics industry has overtaken film, its outstanding writers are starting to step up to the biopic bar. Subversive brainiac Grant Morrison is up next, with a dedicated documentary due in time for next year’s Comic-Con International. “He has an uncanny ability to tell stories that are both accessible and progressively avant-garde,” explained indie [...] Related posts:Grant Morrison’s International Guide To Living FabulouslyNew...

This summer, however, the camera is poised to turn to Morrison himself. Director Patrick Meaney's been chronicling Morrison's life for some time, most recently recording the longest interview [...]

Comic fandom's rarely held to be a welcoming place for girls. But one correspondent remembers fondly her trip to the 1978 San Diego Comic-Con, when she was a wee 8-year old girl. Other females, however, were few and far between....

Can I make a confession? I'm not 100% gung-ho about Tron Legacy, as I know other writers and Comic-Con attendees have been. Maybe it's because Tron wasn't a huge part of my childhood, or maybe it's because I was underwhelmed by the footage (or lack thereof) at Comic-Con this year. Either way, what we've seen so far hasn't really tickled my fancy yet, although obviously if the movie (or even the trailer) ends up being completely badass, I'm...

With the San Diego Comic-Con now running like clockwork as one of the biggest gatherings for comics, movies, and any other vaguely nerdy pop-culture ephemera in the world, it's hard to believe that it's largely the work of one man. Shel Dorf, a comic book collector who moved from Detroit to San Diego, put together the first con back in 1970, which was attended by 300 people. The most recent SDCC, this past August, was attended by 125,000...

Yet New England — perhaps more than any other area in the country — really has been the untapped frontier of conventions.
