San Diego Comic Convention: The Buyer
The Comic-Con International: San Diego (or the San Diego Comic-Con as it is more commonly known) is a yearly fan convention event founded by Shel Dorf and a group of people from San Diego. It spans to nearly forty years now, having been started during 1970. Traditionally, it is a four day event held in summer at San Diego, California - San Diego Convention Center.
For the buyer who wishes to purchase comics in the convention, think of it as something more of an investment rather than as a hobby. You would certainly know how hard it is for a person to obtain a day pass, how much more for a multi-day pass? Your investment already starts with entering the place. It is not just a market for comics, it also is an investment for the mind.
The event has a lot of activities that would be very helpful for the art-minded person. Comic book workshops, panels and seminars featuring esteemed comic book artists, writers, and publishers; also previews of upcoming comics, review sessions with some of the companies, video game previews (video games are considered part of the fantasy literature genre). A crowd-drawer is the Masquerade, a costume contest of different comic book characters. It is like cosplay, in Japanese terms.
The major point of doing your comic shopping in Comic-con is the exclusive collectibles “the one-time items” that the convention is selling. Some of the companies like Hasbro, Mattel and others sell toys and collectibles at the convention that would not be sold again. Most of the exclusives are licensed books and PVC statues of animated and comic characters.
Take note of the things to prepare when buying. Wear comfortable clothes, avoid bringing in too much money (enough for buying, transportation and food) and watch out for your cellphone, iPod or whatever do-hickey you have. Standard procedure for security. Be early as well, and don’t forget to bring your pass so you do not experience hassle in any form.
