Union-Tribune Profiles CCI Volunteers

I'm a sucker for fandom-related histories, at least when modestly told, and this article in the San Diego Union-Tribune about how young fans helped midwife the first few years of what is now Comic-Con International certainly fits the bill. One thing I always liked about comic books when I was a kid is that you basically had this still-living kids: a lot of the founders and original talents were still around. I think that stems from learning about sports history, I'm not sure. At any rate, it's fascinating to me how much of today's industries was shaped by a generation of kids that fairly imagined a lot of this stuff into being.
