Going To The Comic Book Convention
It is that time of year again, time for the annual comic book convention. In this day and age, some have begun to call it the graphic novels convention. Which ever way it is phrased comic book conventions tend to gather people from all social stratas. The ages also vary, however, an average age of an attendee can be placed at around thirty years of age.
The style of comics that are presented for sale or display can vary tremendously. The common type of comic book one thinks of is the super hero comic. However, there are also more sinister and darker stories told with pictures. A graphic novel, such as it is called, means a novel told with graphics or pictures. This does not necessarily imply adult themed or erotic comics.
The presenters use different means to display their art. Some have photo images copied and enlarged to show the caliber of workmanship. Others might allow low grade editions to be carefully perused. Still some use technology to their benefit and display the books on LED backlight screens which provide for a more enhanced color display.
The presenters also incorporate different entertainment ploys. For example, some more prominent publishers would arrange for someone to dress up as a character and engage the crowds. This character would prance about the floor and lure in viewers. There are other ways to solicit attention, as well. Most graphic based stories involve some type of tragedy or violence. There is also the occasional sexy heroine or female in distress. As cliche as it may sound, it happens.
There was one artist that stood out this year. He had gone as far as to hire a band to play's his story's theme song. The band was composed of a drummer, a takamine acoustic guitar player, and a singer. Dancers were positioned on either side of the band for effect. Hopefully, the artist was able to generate enough sales revenue to offset his expense. The expense of some of these displays can be staggering.
As an attendee, one can only expect to have fun and, perhaps, even find inspiration. The stories usually have some good triumphing over evil sub plot. However, there are some plots that can be more diabolical or sinister, even bordering on the fetish. Others can be more light hearted and even have a soap opera feel. The intense novels tend to be a bit more intense with gore and nudity. Many of the recent publishers have story lines that are more contemporary rather then taking place in the distant future or past.
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.
