See You At San Diego is the comprehensive chronicle of Comic-Con International

nearly fifty of the most integral members of the Comic-Con and fandom scene. This
full-fledged oral history, bursting with intimate reflections, hilarious observations,
and at times, heartbreaking, often thought-provoking stories, is about how the
geek at last inherited the earth and the story of the transformation of mainstream
American pop culture into comic book culture over the past century.

into the spiraling galaxy of geek culture through the kaleidoscopic lens of the planet’s

Diego Comic-Con. With such special guests as: Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller, Kevin
Smith, Bruce Campbell, Felicia Day, Scott Aukerman, Stan Sakai, Sergio Aragonés,
Trina Robbins, the Russo Bros., Lloyd Kaufman, Tim Seeley, Kevin Eastman, and
many others – along with 400+ photos and art – the book also features forewords by
Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo) and by Jeff Smith (Bone), plus an afterword by Wu-Tang
Clan’s own uber-nerd mastermind RZA.
