San Diego Comic-Con wasn’t the first comic book convention; supposedly that was held in New York City in 1964.
Essentially, every local “Comic-Con” is going to have to change their name; Salt Lake Comic-Con is already now known as “FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention,” which truly rolls of the tongue like salt off a lake.
And if you’re thinking about starting your own comic-book convention, remember: Only Comic-Con can host a Comic-Con.
As Comic-Con has become one of the most widely known pop culture events of the entire year, local copies have popped up aping it.
