For comic book enthusiasts, one of the major events of their year is attending the 4 day Comic-con International conducted in San Diego. This is like Mecca. Over a hundred thousand comic book fans attend the conference and since its inception almost forty years ago, people from all over the world flock in to have fun, enjoy the festivities, and most importantly, look for comic books. Comic book collecting has never known fun like this in other places.
If you are a first timer in attending the biggest event known to comicbookdom, then it would be wise to be prepared. Thousands of people will be there and you can easily get overwhelmed. But if you want to find the crŠme de la crŠme of comic books to add to your collection, this may very well be the event to help you do so.
The very first thing you should do is to book your tickets early as they go fast, plan your flight and accommodations way ahead. Try to be there for the special preview night so that you will be able to have a distinct advantage over those that didn't.
Warning, never take your car to the convention, this is much more of a hassle. You just might end up wasting all your time looking for a parking space. If all you're planning to purchase are comic books, then you don't need a car to haul things home.
Another thing, try to go to the website of the convention. There you will be able to know beforehand what's ahead of you. There's also an event guide that you can lug around or better yet study before the convention so you know which event you want to go to. This way, you can plan your days and enjoy more of what interests you.
A comic book collection is more than just having comic books, especially if you plan to display them. A comic book convention of this magnitude would surely have collectibles that any true blue comic book fan would drool over. But, make a decision to have a limit on your spending first. Its easy to go overboard when shopping at the San Diego Comic-Con International.
Comic book collecting may seem dull for others, but we know better. Its conventions like these that allow us to have our own special fun. So let your hair down and have 4 days of the best comic book convention entertainment there is.
