About Comic Fiesta~

Hello and welcome to Comic Fiesta! Comic Fiesta is first and foremost an event,
which is made for fans by fans, that is held every year in the middle of
December. It is a celebration of our interest in animation, comics and games
(ACG), and its founding in 2002 stems from the founders’ wish to see similar ACG
conventions to be held in Malaysia.Being a fandom-oriented event, Comic
Fiesta’s main attractions include fan activities like the selling of doujinshi
(DIY amateur comics) and cosplay (‘costume play’). Every year during Comic
Fiesta, contests are held for drawing, artist booths and cosplay. We even have
an online forums that supports an active ACG fans community that hail from all
over Malaysia and its neighbouring countries.The forums are also where
private gatherings like the monthly Art Jams are organised. Most of all, Comic
Fiesta is interested in encouraging the emergence of local artistic talent,
especially in the comic production sector. From about 20 tables in 2002, the
amount of artist booths has grown to over 70 tables in 2006. The standard of
doujinshi sold at CF ’06 has also been especially encouraging, with overseas
artists from also taking part.As the local ACG fan population grows, so
did the local ACG scene in terms of retail and production. Through media
coverage, there has been increased public recognition of ACG as a hobby that is
not just child’s play, but an interest for an audience of varying ages. Thus
far, Comic Fiesta has looked to overseas conventions such as Comic World in Hong
Kong, Anime Expo in the United States and especially Comic Market in Japan for
reference and inspiration.
Based on these observations, combined with
yearly event feedback, our committee works to bring up the quality of your Comic
Fiesta experience. Today our core project team consists of about 20 people, all
students and young professionals.
We recruit more people through friends
and word-of-mouth to assist in event promotion and helping out before, during
and after the event. That said, we hope to see you there at Comic Fiesta 2007.
