Thousands of fans dressed in elaborate homemade costumes gathered at Exhibition Centre Liverpool today (Saturday, October 10) as one of Europe's biggest pop culture conventions returned to the city. The two-day celebration of sci-fi, fantasy, comic books, video games, anime and manga, and all things "geeky" began this morning, with attendees invited to meet some of their favourite actors and pop culture icons.
Star guests and second event of the year
Major stars due to appear this weekend include Jude Law, David Harbour and Christopher Lloyd. This weekend's event is the second in the Liverpool Comic Con's annual calendar, following an earlier convention in May that welcomed thousands of visitors dressed as their favourite video game, television and film characters.
Fans showcase creativity
A collection of pictures from this year's Comic Con events shows the creativity on display, with costumes ranging from Spider-Man and Ghost Rider to Master Chief from the Halo series, characters from One Piece, Star Wars Stormtroopers, and figures from Stranger Things, Dr Who and The Muppets.
Among the attendees spotted were Liverpool radio personality Pete Price, actor Steven Ogg, who played Trevor in Grand Theft Auto V, and actor Zach Galligan from Gremlins.
