Equicon 73, Progress Report 4

Equicon, 1973. Item #72073

The first Equicon (almost always combined with Filmcon) was held in 1971 in Santa Barbara, California.

The early Equicons focused on general science fiction and fantasy and were held in a smaller venue in Santa Barbara.

In late 1971, after seeing the proposed plans for Star Trek Lives!, Bjo Trimble first announced plans for Equicon to have more Trek programming. See A Convention in Planning. In 1973, this Star Trek programming was added, and for that reason the 1973 Equicon is called "Equicon I" by many fans. The convention also relocated to Los Angeles, CA to handle the larger crowds.

This is a brochure given out there. The guests included Ray Bradbury, Robert Bloch. Also, many original Star Trek stars including Michelle Nichols, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei and others. Very Good condition.

Price: $45.00
