Comic Con Cape Town is more than a fan convention. It is a celebration of South Africa’s fandom culture, which encompasses comics, films games and next-level cosplay.
It’s also a space where proud pop culture aficionados can meet up, have fun and feel a sense of belonging. And in a world that’s feeling off-axis these days, it’s the least one can ask for.
