The Cape Comic Con festival attracted thousands of cosplayers and gamers to South Africa on April 28.

The festival is being held over four days at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. Collectors are encouraged to dress in costumes and indulge their love of fantasy and comedic superheroes.

Comic sketch artist TS Zombie says the event is an important part of his business as a freelancer and provides the bulk of his income. He sketches books of known superheroes and of his own making.

Jemma van Wyk wore a homemade outfit to represent Alice in Wonderland. She is supporting a friend who is an exhibitor and bought a weekend pass.

Nathan Jackson designed his own costume and is attending the event with friends. He enjoys cosplay and said the festival allows him the freedom to dress up as any superhero without being judged.
