March 2010

On March 21, 1970, San Diego’s Golden State Comic-Minicon was held in the basement of the U.S. Grant Hotel in downtown San Diego. This small, one-day convention was held to raise funds and fan-recognition for the initial three-day convention, San Diego’s Golden State Comic-Con, to be held in August of that year. Richard Alf, who was Minicon Co-Chairman (Bob Sourk was Chairman) recently found a set of photographs from that small event. One of these is reproduced above.

Ken’s son Timothy “Gus” Krueger just sent in these scans of a birthday card that Shel Dorf created for Ken’s 47th birthday in 1973. (Images are courtesy of The Krueger Archive.)
