Comic Conventions have grown enormously over the last decade, and are attended by people from all walks of life.
Nearly 100.000 people attended the London Comic Con in May – and that was just one such convention out of many that happen around the year. They are no longer niche gatherings for geeks – they are a chance to dress up and play and be who you want to be… at least for one day.
