Sci-Fi City, which began as
Enterprise 1701, was founded in 1976 in Longwood, FL. The original name
was derived from the name and number of the original starship on Star Trek.
We started as a small, 500 square foot store. We have moved
three times since the original location and were at our last site (on Corrine
Dr.) for fifteen years.
Enterprise 1701 has been an important part of
the Science Fiction, Gaming, Anime and Comic Industry in Central Florida
for many years. We are well known and respected industry wide. In June
of 1998 we moved to our current site changing both our name and corporate
status - we are now Sci-Fi City with
more than 10,000 square feet of space.
We have hosted many local and
national artists, writers, game designers, and television and movie
actors, including such luminaries as:
- Ethan Van Sciver (Penciler for Green Lantern: Rebirth)
- Tim Townsend
(Inker for X-Men: Age of Apocalypse)
- James O'Barr (creator of The
Crow)
- David Prowse (Darth Vader)
- Kenny Baker (R2-D2)
- Tim Bradstreet
(artist for various books and games)
- Real Musgrave (creator
of Pocket Dragons)
- Terry Brooks (The Shannara novel series and
the new Star Wars: Episode I novel)
- Michael Stackpole (many
Star Wars novels)
We look forward to a future of many exciting events, and hope to be
the center of your sci-fi universe! |
