Well, I'm very sad to hear that Comic-Con founder Sheldon Dorf has died. He was 76 and had been suffering from diabetes.
According to the Associated Press, he started the show in 1970 after moving there from Detroit.
He was also a freelance artist and letterer.
As the attendee of a few Comic-Cons, I can say he started a great thing, and I'm sure he'll be greatly missed in the comics community.
