Before Cosmicon , Canadian risible conventions were mostly small gatherings of nightspot members and barter meets .
In 1968 , Captain George Henderson – proprietor of Canada ’s first comics workshop , Memory Lane , had impart Stan Lee to the city for the Triple FanFair ( no doubt inspired by the convention of the same name that had been taking billet in Detroit around the same time – the three fandoms in the name being skill fiction , movies and strip ) .
