A LOOK BACK AT COMIC-CON 2006
The life and career of Will Eisner was one of the primary special themes of Comic-Con International 2005. The Spirit™ & ©2006 Will Eisner. The 2006 Comic‑Con Souvenir Book!Comic‑Con International offers each attendee a free copy of this attractive, trade paperback sized commemorative book. Here are some of the special themes and anniversaries we're working on for Comic-Con 2006, for both programming and our Souvenir Book. • Robert E. Howard's 100th BirthdayThe creator of Conan, Solomon Kane, and Kull turns 100. Robert E. Howard's characters started in the pulp magazines of the 1930s, but conquered the worlds of comics and film later on. We celebrate Howard's creations and his lasting influence on fantasy, comics and film.• Universal Monsters' 75th AnniversaryIn 1931, both of the Universal versions of Bram Stoker's Dracula and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein monster shambled into our lives. They've been scaring us ever since! We celebrate the iconic monsters of Universal Studios, including Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, and the Wolf Man, just to name a few, and the actors who portrayed them and are so indelibly etched in our minds as associated with these beloved "monsters."• 75th Anniversary of Dick TracyHe's the world's greatest comic strip detective and he's been entertaining readers since 1931! Chester Gould's Dick Tracy has conquered movies, TV and cartoons and remains one of the most thrilling strips ever published. Known under Gould as being torn from the headlines, the strip grew out of the lawless era of the Depression when real-life figure like Al Capone and John Dillinger ruled the headlines.• Archie's 65th BirthdayAmerica's most beloved perennial teenager is 65! And he doesn't look a day over 16! Comic-Con celebrates the long history of one of the best-selling comics ever.• Captain America's 65th AnniversaryHard to believe, but it's been 65 years since Captain America made his first flag-waving appearance in comics. Created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, Cap has been a constant in almost every decade of comics since. We salute the Captain and his many years in comics.• 50th Anniversary of the Flash and the Silver Age of ComicsOkay...we can argue this until the cows don bright red suits and dash home faster than the speed of sound, but some fans regard the recreation of The Flash, first appearing in Showcase #4 in 1956, as the "official" beginning of the Silver Age of Comics.• 50th Anniversary of GumbyHe was once a little green slab of clay...but now he's 50, dammit! Hard to believe the little green guy (not to mention his pony pal, Pokey, too) is celebrating a half-century of pop culture popularity.• 40th Anniversary of the original Star TrekFrom its humble beginnings on network television, Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek franchise went on to become a juggernaut, producing multiple TV series, a score of feature films, and more merchandise than a cargo hold full of tribbles. Now it's time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original Enterprise crew, who continually fulfilled its mission to, "Boldly go where no man has gone before..."• 40th Anniversary of Space GhostBefore he went "Coast to Coast," he was a popular 60s' Saturday morning cartoon character. Comic-Con celebrates the enduring appeal of this character who has survived to become a Cartoon Network "talk show host" and the star of his own DC Comics mini-series!We're sorry, but we are no longer accepting Souvenir Book submissions. Thank you to those who have contributed. |
