From humble beginnings with just a few hundred people gathering to celebrate comics to more than 100,000 fans from all over the world nerding out together.

Comic-Con International has been an annual pop culture paradise for 50 years and it starts again in San Diego this week. To mark the occasion, we join forces with San Diego News Fix — a daily news podcast at the Union-Tribune — for a special episode that will play on both podcasts.

First up, reporters Phil Molnar and Charlie Clark discuss survival tips and coverage plans for Comic-Con with Daniel Wheaton and Abby Hamblin.

Then, at 22:50 Peter Rowe discusses the history of Comic-Con.
