L.A. Con spotlights classic fan films

The Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention returns this Sunday to the Shrine Expo Center. Guests include writer Don Glut and artist Jesse Santos, who worked on the 1970s Gold Key comics The Occult Files of Doctor Spektor and Dagar the Invincible. Both also worked in animation and Glut wrote the novelization of “The Empire Strikes Back” in 1980. The show features a Superhero Fan Film Festival starting at 11 a.m., including some by Glut made back in the 1960s that are likely some of the earliest fan films ever made.
