MORE than 4,000 comic book fans streamed into Aberdeen’s first Comic Con.

The Granite City Comic Con hosted its inaugural event on Saturday at the newly revamped Transition Extreme at the beach.

Chris Robertson, who is one of three organisers, said the event went “extremely well”.

He added: “It was massively busy with huge queues and the feedback we’ve been getting is amazing.”

The free one-day event recognised Scotland’s contribution to the billion-dollar comic book industry and saw artists, writers, retailers and independent publishers gather in Aberdeen.

The event has already got the go-ahead for next year with organisers saying the event will take place in a bigger venue over two days.
