Wizards, superheroes, sorceresses, aliens. On October 7, they all met in New York, for the first edition of Comic Con since the start of the global coronavirus pandemic.
“The cosplaying, the fancy dress with my friends, the fact of coming here in a group all that I missed!” Exclaims Andrea Pellot, a 20-year-old waitress disguised as a manga character.

And then I have another one here, which I found on an online site for 10 dollars ”, laughs Keown Kaney, social worker of 27 years, obviously very fan of the manga Dragon Ball .
