San Diego Comic-Con International | News 8 Throwback Special

Take a trip down San Diego Comic-Con memory lane with us as we look back at the convention in the 1970s and through the decades, with videos from the CBS 8 archives. Comic-Con started as a one-day event called San Diego’s Golden State Comic-Minicon, on March 21, 1970 at the U.S. Grant Hotel in downtown San Diego. These days the convention is anything but "mini," and celebrates a variety of pop culture and entertainment genres. Carlo Cecchetto is your guide.
