In addition to the treasure trove of art and photos, this 208-page, 9 x 12 full-color hardbound pictorial history contains a decade-by-decade look at the show. Numerous special articles explore the Masquerade, the Comic Book Expo, WonderCon, the Alternative Press Expo, Comic-Con's T-shirts, the Eisner Awards, and much more. There are articles and photos focusing on some of the most important writers and artists who have been Comic-Con favorites over the years, including Jack Kirby, Will Eisner, Ray Bradbury (who also provided the foreword for the book), Forry Ackerman, Dave Stevens, Frank Miller, Neil Gaiman, and more. Each chapter ends with a comprehensive list of first-time guests who attended in each decade, and the book's vast appendices contain a complete list of Eisner, Inkpot, Bob Clampett, Bill Finger, and Russ Manning award recipients. Sprinkled throughout the book are quotes and observations from leading professionals in comics, movies, and television, commenting on their own experiences at the show.
The whole package is capped off with an amazing new full-color wraparound cover by one of Comic-Con's favorite special guests: Sergio Aragonés. Masterfully colored by Tom Luth, the cover alone will provide hours of viewing pleasure!
