This year's Comic-Con
International at San Diego, the 41st of this annual geekfest,
was filmed for a documentary by director Morgan Spurlock
(Super Size Me, Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden) and a team of producers including
Marvel Comic's icon Stan Lee and Joss Whedon (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”
writer/director). Entitled Comic-Con Episode Four: A Fan's Hope,
the documentary, quoth independent.co.uk, followed seven people from around the
world attending the Con July 21-25. Stan Lee, naturally, rejoiced and indulged
in a little deserved back-patting: "Many of our highest-grossing movies,
best selling toys and most popular video games owe their existence to the increasingly
influential comic book."
