Adam Malin was 13 when he went into business, and his chosen profession was the business of sci-fi and comic books. This was back in 1971, years before his proliferation of fan gatherings to celebrate the likes of "Star Trek" and "Xena," an effort Malin and his partner continue to run through their Glendale-based Creation Entertainment.
After two decades in New York, the company relocated here from New York in 1992 and now hosts some 30 major entertainment events across North America, including last weekend's “Grand Slam Convention: Star Trek and Sci-Fi Summit” at Bob Hope Airport. The gathering included a full-cast reunion with the actors from “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” while fans waited in lines for memorabilia, to converse freely in Klingon and to show off their often meticulous costumes.
“I'm still a huge star Trek fan after all these years,” says Malin, 56, who has raised two children in Glendale. “I've been watching for 47 years and loving it since it first started.”
