The fifth edition of the three-day fantasy event is hosting a total of 250 exhibitors besides national and international icons from the world of comics, gaming, movies and television.
Captain Jack Sparrow, Batman, Joker, Sub-Zero and Thor -- characters from comic books, films and TV series seemed to come alive here as fans dressed up as their favourite characters thronged the Delhi Comic Convention that kicked off on Friday afternoon.
The fifth edition of the three-day fantasy event, which is hosting a total of 250 exhibitors besides national and international icons from the world of comics, gaming, movies and television got off to a start at a bigger venue at the NSIC grounds. The event is being held after nearly two years. Merchandise of the fantasy fiction series Game of Thrones and the upcoming Batman vs Superman film clearly dominated the sprawling venue that brimmed with stalls selling a plethora of items ranging from T shirts and caps to masks and other accessories.
Major attractions on the opening day included interactive sessions with Game of Thrones actor Kristian Nairn who plays the character of Hodor in the TV series besides Rob DenBleyker, one of the writers of the popular web comic Cyanide and Happyness. "This is one of the friendliest and the best Comic Con I have ever attended. I can't wait to meet all the fans of Game of Thrones," Nairn said.

DenBleyker said he found the Delhi Comic con at par with the original version of the event that is held in San Diego and felt that hosting the event at city levels across the world widens the popularity of comic culture. "I think Comic Cons are one of the best things that has happened in the last 10 years. Earlier there was only San Diego, then came the New York Comic Con, but now it feels there is a Comic Con in every city. It is a chance for fans to come together and celebrate their passion," he said.
