Comic Con gets bigger and better every year. This year, it had to be moved to Tyagaraj Stadium, behind INA market. The swelling attendance hit the traffic on the street outside and the crowd became almost unmanageable in some places. Though I went on day 3, I managed to catch a fraction of the excitement. People dressed up as Arvind Kejriwal, Captain Jack Sparrow, and ofcourse the hot favorite- The Joker. The cutest Iron Man ever was there too. The range of books, guest speakers and overall excitement is worth the time spent. Spotted some pretty rare stuff here which are normally not available in books stores like Manga comics, a lot of imported books, Mad commemorative issues sold like they'd disappear off the face of the earth, cartoon guides to chemistry, physics, genetics and statistics... interesting stuff! And ofcourse, that careless sense of money flying out of your wallet on stuff like spiderman flip flops, Judge Dredd comics you may never read, Wacom equipment. Aarrgh!
It was so good to see Pran being celebrated- the man who gave us Chacha Chowdhary.
