Hey there
Earthlings, Alternatives and Trollers. Put down that mouse and lend
an ear. Welcome to The Bandersnatch blog where we talk weird, wacky
and wondrous. I'm Mama Ogre and I have no idea what I'm doing.
Random
blog day boo yah. As you should know Fridays is random blog day were
we talk anything and everything and pretty much run with it. Today's
blog is on Brighton comic-con.
A comic
book convention or Comic-con is an event with a primary focus on
comic books and comic book culture, in which comic book fans gather
to meet creators, experts and each other. Commonly comic conventions
are multi-day events hosted at convention centres, hotels, or college
campuses. They feature a wide variety of activities and panels, with
a larger number of attendees participating in cosplay than most other
types of fan conventions. Comic book conventions are also used as a
vehicle for industry, in which publishers, distributes, and retailers
represent their comic-related releases. Comic book conventions may be
considered derivatives of Science-fiction conventions, which began in
the late 1930's.

Comic-con wiki
The first
official convention for comic books was held in 1964 in NYC and was
called NYC comic-con. Early con's were usually small affairs, usually
organised by local enthusiasts (such as Jerry Bails, aka the Father
of Comic Fandom and Dave Kaler of the Academy of Comic-book fans and
collectors) and featured several people of the industry as guests.
Nowadays Comic-cons are BIG business with reoccurring events in many
major towns and cities across the world. Comic book conventions in
name only the biggest shows include horror, animation, anime, Manga,
Toys, Collectables and More.
Brighton
Comic-con and Gaming festival is being run by Moose events. Moose
events is a small Husband and Wife team predominantly in the
south-west after doing a successful comic-con event in October of
2017. Moose Events now runs several cons across the south from Devon
and Cornwall to Somerset.
Now I am
very excited for a comic-con to be in Brighton, since that's where I
live and the nearest comic-cons to us are The MCM at the Excel
London, and The LFCC at the London Olympia which often requires
several months of planning, a multi-day hotel stay and several train
tickets.
