Sergio Aragonés: The San Diego Comic-Con 1976 Program

Anyone who didn't make it to the 1976 San Diego Comic-Con may have missed the program's cover art. It shows a gate-crashing Comic-Con crowd scene by Sergio Aragonés of Mad magazine fame. Individual attendees are shown wearing logos for Mad and Superman, but there is no cosplay to speak of. Aragonés has depicted himself in the frenzy. Can you find him? (Solution below.)


The back cover ad from Pacific Comics puns on the bicentennial:
