I went to the San Diego ComicsCon back in 1997. Apart from the usual geeky comicbook fans, there are also more independent publishers and film studios. Mad props to Fantagraphics and Troma Films for making my last vistit to San Diego memorable for different reasons. At the Fantagraphics booth, I was privileged to meet Jim Woodring, creator of the Book of Frank. Meanwhile, Troma’s films never fail to out-gross in the gross-out catagory.

The best thing, though, is staying cheaply and taking the Trolly system within walking distance to the Convention Center where the ComicsCon is a long-standing source of tourist revenue. Bring lots of money for the restaurants, many of which live up to their “A” ratings by the health department.

While I haven’t been there for awhlle, I may return there one day.
