- Chuck Clayton finds out that his grandmother has a copy of the oldest known comic book, created by his ancestor Charles Clayton during the Revolutionary War. It is first displayed at a convention in New York City, then at Chicago Con and finally at San Diego Comic-Con. Wherever it is displayed, someone tries to steal it, until the thief is caught at San Diego.

Charles Clayton is Chuck's ancestor who was a cartoonist during the American Revolution.
There are many in-joke references to parts of comic fandom. For instance, the Wendell Comics characters of Wendell, Brenda and Cobina, which are spoofs of Archie, Betty and Veronica. Archie is continually being mistaken as Wendell by comic fans, and Betty and Veronica enter the three of them in the costume contest at San Diego as the Wendell Comics characters.
