Comic-Con International, most commonly known as The Comic-Con or the San Diego Comic-Con, (SDCC) is an annual fan convention held in San Diego, California.  It first was named the 'Golden State Comic Book Convention' and became known later as the 'San Diego Comic Book Convention'.

It was started in 1970 by Shel Dorf and a group of San Diegans. Today it is traditionally a four-day event (Thursday through Sunday) held during the summer in San Diego, California, at the San Diego Convention Center.  In recent years the Con has held a 'Preview Night' on the Wednesday night before opening day for members with four day badges only.

Originally a showcase for comic books, the convention has expanded over the years to include a larger range of pop culture, including science fiction, fantasy,  animation/anime, manga, toys, collectible card games, video games, television shows previews, and movies trailers screenings.

This convention is the largest of its kind in the United States, last year filling to capacity the San Diego Convention Center with 125,000 attendees. Indeed on Saturday the Con had to stop allowing new one day ticket sales to attendees for a few hours due to the fire marshall's request.

Every year there are awards shows, a masquerade, art auctions, and lots more! Plus superheroes (and villains) stroll the aisles daily !

We will be buying comics at the Con, but will not have a booth to sell as we currently have thousands of comics listed in our eBay Featured Store .
