Today, the expo has expanded beyond comic books to also include gaming culture and television pop icons.

Tickets for day one of the event on Saturday sold out days in advance, but organisers still expect thousands of people to keep flowing in when Comic Con Africa 2019 concludes tomorrow afternoon on Heritage Day.
