In 2018 the South African Comic Con journey began when the annual Comic Con Africa was launched in Johannesburg to much excitement and with great success. In 2019 Comic Con Africa in Johannesburg reached 71,000 guests over four days. We are passionate about developing local fandoms and services and geek culture. We can’t wait to show Cape Town what Comic Con is all about!
