The San Diego Comic-Con Oral History Panel That Won't Be fantagraphics sdcc
, Yours Truly and the man behind this popular book, Mathew Klickstein. Our pitch was rejected. I want an explanation. Everyone loves a mystery, but this one makes me feel queasy."
Klickstein sees the rejection of his panel as the confirmation of a microcosm of larger issues in the San Diego Comic-Con community. Firstly, that it needs to be more transparent and have more accountability over how the committee run the show, and there is a disparity between the image of the show and what others have experienced regarding everything from Artists Alley to convention programming to the Eisner Swards themselves.
But I couldn't help feel that, from all the above, there is a good chance that this panel could have been an hour-long whinge about San Diego Comic-Con, how it's not as good as it used to be, now that they've let all these film, games, TV and cosplayers in, especially with a firebrand complainer like Gary Groth. And maybe in the show's position, I wouldn't be that inclined to approve such a panel either.
