If you were a college student in the city in the 2010s, you’d recall the excitement that arose during November-December about having to head to Goregaon’s Bombay Exhibition Centre. It was where Comic Con India (CCI) would be held — quite the trek for the collegians down in SoBo, but one that would definitely be worth it. It was then, and is still, arguably the largest pop culture convention after all. And you wouldn’t want to miss out on catching a glimpse of or meeting the greatest personalities in the comics world — from David Lloyd, the illustrator of V for Vendetta, to Mark Gatiss, the co-creator of BBC’s Sherlock.
