The pics from the old conventions are great, but it'd be great to get some explanation of who the people are (not the creators, but the other people).  If they're identified by name from pictures over 4 decades old, I get the feeling they're well known enough that I should know who they are, but actually I have no idea for many of them.

You kinda had to be there. Mostly pioneering fans and the fans who started SDCC. Was mostly a west coast thing.

I like them pics of pioneering into comic collecting world very much! Thank you, NerV! (Makes me dream of "What if ..." scenarios. )

I have to say Bob that it was really a national comic thing. Most of those old dealer guys who are mentioned in Nerv's picture also were attending Houston Con and East coast shows as well. I bought my first Timely, a nice Marvel Mystery 72, from Irving and Larry Bigman. I would also love to get some background on the bigger name West Coast fans.

Definitely by mid 70’s (1973-74) it was a lot more than a west coast thing although most  all the major west coast players were there too. Gawd just look at the guest lists over the years. The history in that respect is staggering. I wish I had been much older in those early years to take pictures because I got to meet a hell of a lot of people in all aspects of the industry that you just can’t imagine. Kirby, Schultz, Moore, LB Cole, Infantino, Foray,etc., etc.  It didn’t seem that big of a deal at the time but it’s kind of mind blowing after a few decades of meeting people.

After the 1974 convention Marvel even did an issue set in San Diego and at the Con. Remember?
