Comic book fans and self-confessed geeks have often had the negative stereotype attached of a sad loner living in his mother’s basement hoarding his comic books. However, with the evolution of the comic book genre into movie franchises and all its associated paraphernalia, it has become increasingly cool to be a geek. Cape Town held its first FanCon in 2016, due to this rise in popularity, to great success, and has now established itself as a must-attend event on the South African geek calendar. All the fans that attend get an entertaining and lively experience, where every aspect of comics, pop culture, and geekdom in general find expression in a diverse range of activities including the ever popular Cosplay competitions.
