JOIN COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL’S LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY (LADIES AND) GENTLEMEN Without a doubt, the real heroes of Comic-Con International are the volunteers. They’re the crew that not only keeps this massive ship running, but also help prevent it from crashing into the Pacific Ocean. Last year, over 1,200 folks answered CCI’s cries for help, and because 2005 is shaping up to be another big year, we could use your services, too! You can volunteer from one to four days—it’s up to you! You are expected to help out for about 3 hours out of a day; the rest of the time you’re free to crawl the convention walls as much as you’d like. The volunteers coordinators will do their best to accommodate your schedule. WHY SHOULD YOU VOLUNTEER? Because with great power, comes great responsibility… Oh wait, wrong hero. Because it’s an awesome show and you get some really cool perks, too! •Free entrance to the convention! That means no waiting in line, and extra cash to spend. •Super troopers who complete four shifts get a free volunteer T-shirt. Not sold in stores, this shirt allows fellow convention heroes to spot you while in your secret identity. And the super bonus? •If you pre-register to volunteer you’re invited to attend Preview Night! That’s early admission to check out the massively cool Exhibit Hall before the general public. •And ask former volunteers, some of their best friendships were formed while working at CCI! HOW CAN YOU VOLUNTEER? Pre-registration forms are being accepted through June 18, 2005. To secure a form or obtain more info, contact the Volunteers Department via mail, fax, or e-mail (volunteers@comic-con.org) or by marking the appropriate space on the Multipurpose Form in this booklet and mailing it. You can also download everything you need at www.comic-con.org. And yes, you can register onsite—just make the Volunteer Desk your first stop when landing at the Convention Center. But remember, without preregistering there will be no Preview Night for you. So rip off that reporter’s suit, bust out of your clothes while turning green, spin in an explosive circle, and tap your cane into a magical hammer because now is the time for action!
