In 39 Pictures: I went to Comic Con and was stunned by the extraordinary costumes and makeup

Portsmouth Comic Con, which is being held at Guildhall on May 11 and 12, is an event that is incredibly popular amongst people up and down the country – and this morning (May 11) thousands of people turned out to get involved in the fun. The day consisted of immersive experiences, stalls, panels, q&a’s and a range of costumes to feast your eyes upon. Many people that arrived at the venue were eager to show off their handmade costumes that required hours of work to get perfect.
