It Happens at Comic-Con
It Happens at Comic-Con: Ethnographic Essays on a Pop Culture Phenomenon | Matthew J. Smith, Ben Bolling
5 posts
This collection of 13 new essays employs ethnographic methods to investigate San Diego's Comic-Con International, the largest annual celebration of the popular arts in North America. Working from a common grounding in fan studies, these individual explorations examine a range of cultural practices at an event drawing crowds of nearly 125,000 each summer. Investigations range from the practices of fans costuming themselves to the talk of corporate marketers. The collection seeks to expand fan studies, exploring Comic-Con International more deeply than any publication before it.

Just got this in the mail! A cape and mask for my 4-year old - Super K 😊

Any Litizens going to Portland‘s Rose City Comic-con this September 7-9th? If so, meet up? 😉

I‘ve checked out the guest lists and there will be lots of artists/creators of several of the graphic novels I‘m currently reading, one mangaka from Japan, a Japanese voice actress from an anime that I love and many more!

Woo hoo!
