You never know who you will see comics professionals, independent scholars you never see anywhere else, professors from around the world, students & young scholars presenting for the first time … it’s a great experience. ![]() ![]() The CAC room is like a sea of tranquility in the midst of a hurricane of craziness, and I am constantly slipping in & out of the room while the festivities are going on. The instigators, Peter Coogan and Randy Duncan (still co-chairs and active participants) were awarded the Inkpot this year in commemoration of this feat. It was so cool! And great costumes!Īnyway, not so many costumes at the Comic Arts Conference, the comics scholarship conference that celebrated its 20th anniversary at this year’s convention. I’ll never forget the year that I went into a room early to catch a spotlight on J J Sedelmaier, and found myself in the middle of the Klingon Lifestyle Presentation, an annual drama featuring the crew of the IKV Stranglehold. There are so many different communities getting together that it would be just about impossible to touch on all of them. One of the most amazing things about San Diego Comic-Con is that it contains more universes than that bag of marbles at the end of Men in Black. ![]()
