Going To The Comic Book Convention

Every year there is a comic book convention. Some even call it a graphic novels convention. Whatever, the case may be, the convention usually brings together a wide variety of people from different occupations, regions, and heritage. The average age of the attendee is probably closer to thirty.

The types of comics they present for sale or display varies as well. There are the usual super hero comic books. There are also more dark and mysterious stories told in graphic style. Graphic style means picture and not the adult type. However, there is also a section on erotic comics.

The convention presenters have a lot of different means at their disposal to show off their work. Many, often, enlarge certain photo images to give a glimpse into their work and style. Still others might even let the public handle some of their lesser prized books. Technology has also made its way into the comic book circles. Many, in fact, use LED backlight screens, to display their images. These screens allow for greater breadth and depth of colors to be displayed.

A comic book convention is all about entertainment. To this end, many large and prominent producers arrange and hire actors to impersonate certain of their characters. They would dress up accordingly and act as if they were in the comics. The idea would be to lure passersby and other attendees to visit the artist's booth. Many different mechanisms are employed. Generally, the typical story line of the more popular comics revolves around violence and/or some type of sexy female heroine or character in distress, as cliche as that might sound.

One artist, this time around, actually went as far as to put together a band. The band's playlist was composed of the leading character's theme song. The drummer, takamine acoustic guitar player, and singer were all dressed as part of the comic. Dancers were placed on either side of the band to grab the viewer's attention. The cost of putting together such a show can be high, but tolerable if the publisher is able to generate the incremental sales.

As a convention attendee I usually have fun and also find some inspiration. The stories are generally about the triumph of good versus evil. Other story plots can be more diabolical or even serve a fetish. There are some that can be likened to a soap opera and others are more intense in nature, including gore and nudity. The more recent comics tend to have more contemporary story lines as opposed to being placed in the distant past or future.

The experience is definitely unique and puts on display the talents of some of the newer and up and coming artists. Breaking into the comic book industry is a tough challenge. One not only needs a great story, but an engaging character. Then the story has to be displayed artistically. The competition can be fierce.
