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 Centers, 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, Distributors, and Retailers represent their Comic-Related Releases. Comic Book Conventions may be considered Derivatives of Science-Fiction Conventions, which began in the late 1930s.
At Commercial Events, Comic Book Creators often give out Autographs to the Fans, sometimes in exchange for a Flat Appearance Fee, and sometimes may draw Illustrations for a Per-Item Fee. Commercial Conventions are usually quite Expensive. This represents a Change in Comic Book Conventions, which traditionally were more oriented toward Comic Books as a mode of Literature, and maintained a less Caste-Like Differentiation between Professional and Fan. Nowadays, Comic Conventions are Big Business with recurring Shows in Major Cities.The Biggest Shows include a large range of Pop Culture and Entertainment Elements across virtually all genres, including Horror, Animation, Anime, Manga, Toys, Collectible Card Games, Video Games, Webcomics, and Fantasy Novels.
