Comic-Con Pioneer Bridged Hollywood and Nerd Culture
Jeffrey Walker helped transform Comic-Con into a major pop culture hub by linking Hollywood with sci fi and comics. From early LA music publicity to marketing for Warner Bros and Amblin, he brought trailer glimpses and 16 mm featurettes to conventions and co founded Thinking Cap Co. His work supported growth of geek culture and the modern fan universe.
