     Comic Con is a convention that caters to fans of comics, movies, books and more. Not only from the science fiction and fantasy realm, but all realms. The first Comic Con was held in San Diego, California in March of 1970. Little was known then as to what a phenomenon it would become. This convention is not just for the young, or the science fiction enthusiast, there are fans from all genres of entertainment. Some of the costumes seen will be from comic books, movies, books, and cartoons.

There were booths with merchandise from various Sci-Fi television shows, movies, books, comic books and the artists.
