The festival, returning for its fifth year, is a massively popular event where visitors can embrace being themselves.
This is regardless of their cultural background, physical ability, or personal identity, says the station.
Fans have an opportunity to admire artwork, get inspired, exchange techniques and even purchase and commission artwork from vendors. 5FM will be broadcasting live from Comic Con, bringing the noise with shows like 5 Lunch and 5 Weekend Afternoons, exclusive interviews with international guests and a listener give-away of 20 double tickets.
According to the station, the event hosts:
- comics
- gaming
- film
- merch
- food
- games arenas
- cosplay
- a KidsCon Zone for young enthusiasts
- the Entelect Challenge, and
- Artist Alley, which is devoted to celebrating local and international artists of comic book, original pieces and fan fiction.
"Comic Con is a massive local and international hit that is hugely popular in the youth market, so it's an excellent fit for South Africa's favourite youth radio station," concludes 5FM and Good Hope FM PCS Combo Business Manager Masixole Mdingane. "Whether you're into gaming, comic books, film, character, villain or superhero cosplay or anything in between, there's no bigger, better and more epic than Comic Con. We'll see you there."
