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 different options when it comes to their display. Some artists use enlarged photo images which are copies of their work to show off their artistry. Others might actually allow certain attendees to peruse later editions of their prized collection. Technology also has its place here. For instance, many use LED backlight screens to provide a more enhanced color experience.
The convention also brings together an entertainment aspect. For instance, many larger publishers would hire and arrange for a person to dress up as one their major characters. The person would then walk about the floor to engage and garner the attention of the attendees. Obviously, there are many ways to grab people's attention. In general, most of the story lines that sell involve some type of violence and a sexy heroine or woman in distress. This is a bit clich', but true.
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 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.
My experience as a comic book convention attendee was definitely unique. The talents of the artists and the newer publishers are quite extraordinary. However, from my understanding, becoming a well known artist or publisher can be quite a challenge. To be successful, one needs a great plot, an identifiable character, and an artistic flair. Competition amongst artists is generally fierce.
