COMIC-CON AND THE BUSINESS OF POP CULTURE What the World's Wildest Trade Show Can Tell Us About the Future of Entertainment

Futurist and comics fanboy Salkowitz takes listeners on a tour of the most famous of comic book conventions, the San Diego Comic-Con. His aim is to explore its cultural significance and the future of comics in popular culture. Narrator Colby Elliott delivers a cool and calm voice that fits perfectly with Salkowitz's prose. The audiobook, clearly a work of love for the author, also provides insights into what the comic business can teach us about pop-culture industries. Elliott uses a series of generic voices for the many different people (both well-known and unknown) whom Salkowitz speaks with on the event floor, on different panels, and at after-parties.
