Electric City's Comicon Aug 8 2015

The main branch of Anderson library hosted the Electric City's first Comicon on Saturday, August 8th.  What had started as a kids costume party morphed into a full blown comicon with cosplay and cosdesign, panel discussions, contests and a parade..  Young and old got into dressing as  their favorite character.  The convention planners thought there might be 500 attendees.  The final count was over 1100.  Since the event was such a success, hopefully it will be held again next year and for years to come.



Be careful, Bob, that's Edward Scissor Hands in front of you.

An earlier blog-post featured statutes outside the library.  This one, entitled "The Future" is at the entrance of the children's section.

There was a time when I probably could have identified every victor, victim, and villain.  Now I mostly have to say,"Neat costume".

"Neat costume", Jaws, Wonder Woman, and Cat Woman

 

Mini Wonder Woman is now officially entered in the costume contest.  Today's paper reported that her outfit was all hand made, except for the crown, which had come in a kid's meal pack.

I told him to "smile for the camera", but I think the humor was lost on him.  By the way, "neat costume" 

The wingless Malelficent

Batman but, I don't think that's the Boy Wonder with him
