The first San Diego Comic-Con, the most-attended comic convention in the country, was held in In more recent years, these conventions have become more popular, and at some cons, like San Diego Comic-Con, the subject areas have expanded from comics to cover television shows, movies, and other forms of art and fiction that are more mainstream.
There are comic conventions all around the country, but San Diego Comic-Con trademarked "Comic-Con" in and has threatened legal action against other conventions that use "Comic-Con" in their names.
In response , SLCCC pointed out that there were multiple conventions or "comic-cons" that existed before the trademark. The bottom line here is that there are multiple conventions, there are different companies behind each one, and there's a lot of value in them. If there weren't, why would San Diego Comic-Con apply for a trademark?
The main difference between the two, and really what sets San Diego apart from all other comic conventions, is how connected SDCC is to Hollywood and its many marketing teams.
But the convention's pop culture dominance has been growing since the late s, when SDCC began hosting the casts of TV and film properties like Glee and Twilight. Though many of them had nothing to do with comics, they would come to the convention and promote their work, much to fans' delight. Even though New York Comic Con has grown more and more popular, it has a lower profile.
In terms of scale, the biggest event at New York Comic Con tends to be the annual panel for The Walking Dead , whose cast members pay a visit to the convention every year.
But even The Walking Dead is no Avengers. This lack of Hollywood hype for New York Comic Con translates to more attention paid to smaller projects and more of a focus on comics news.
Hundreds of thousands. You'll notice that San Diego has had a sustained ,plus audience since We plugged in , as San Diego Comic-Con's numbers. New York Comic Con considers itself the "second-largest comic book and pop culture event in the country. There are many reasons why comic conventions have gained so much steam in the last few years, including mainstream pop culture being inundated with comic book projects, more people being interested in comic books, and so on.
San Diego Comic-Con's constant popularity has probably affected the profile of other conventions, too. They imagined a place where fans could come together to celebrate the things they love, not just for a few days each summer, but all year long. A place where the public could learn about areas of art and pop culture of which they may not even be aware.
A space where everyone is included, where old fans and new could enjoy the passion, creativity, and imagination of Comic-Con, while learning about science, technology, art, storytelling and much more. Now, with the help of fans like you, that dream will soon become reality. With classes and activities during the day, movie screenings and trivia contests at night, and programs available online anytime, the Comic-Con Museum will be an experience unlike any other.
Our focus will be on community and not collection by bringing diverse audiences together for shared, vibrant experiences. Through regularly rotating exhibits, hands-on workshops for kids as well as adults, and interactive experiences to try, you will always find something new and exciting to explore. Opening in , the Comic-Con Museum will be a participatory place where audiences can connect with the magic of Comic-Con year-round.
These values are the core beliefs of Comic-Con and the Museum. They will be shared by the institution, its stakeholders, staff and volunteers alike. They will also be evident to visitors in each and every offering put forth by the Museum. Comic-Con began in when a small group of comics, movie and science fiction fans from San Diego put on an event attended by just people.
Since then, Comic-Con has grown into a global phenomenon and is widely recognized as the premier pop culture convention in the world. Annually, the organization is focused on:.

Comic artist Matt Groening came to the Con as an unknown guest who had just started selling his cartoon Life In Hell to alternative magazines and papers that year. Then organizers issued a plea for fans to donate money or bid on donated artwork, the money was replaced, and the bad guys were foiled. Consider this the origin of anime and manga at the Con.
