In the 1970s, groups of people in the USA met for a few days each year to
celebrate their hobbies. These meetings were especially popular with
video gamers, comic book fans and sci-fi fans. In 1987, a group of friends
noticed it was common to find fans of all three hobbies. So, Dragon Con
began – one huge event for everyone!
