| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Fan conventions are a popular means of celebrating a shared interest in a subject and are extremely popular in the world of comics and related genres including anime, manga, collectible card games and more. This book introduces the major conventions of the world including San Diego Comic-Con International and the Angouleme International Comics Festival. It also individually examines the major genres and media celebrated, with attention to distinguishing characteristics, genre history and important works.
