Hundreds of residents from Sudbury and other parts of the North escaped to the coolness of the Sudbury Arena Saturday to enjoy seeing hundreds of other people in costume.
Despite the crowds, the floor of the arena was a significally cooper place to be when compared to the afternoon temperatures outside on Elgin Street Saturday.
Organizer Neil Stephen, who is president of the volunteer board of directors for Graphic-Con, explained what the event was about. He said the event has its roots in the popularity of graphic novels and it also allows people to explore fantasy characters and act out in the roles of many of those characters.
The arena was packed was fans seeking souvenirs, books, CDs, posters and costume pieces for future events. Just as many of the spectators were in costume as those who were not.
