BGCP Comic Con staged its first-ever event in Inverness with thousands in attendance.

Held at Inverness Leisure Centre, the event was the first in several similar ones planned including in Perth, Glasgow and Renfrew in August.

More than 2,000 people attended, where they were able to indulge their passion for comic books, superheroes and video games.

More than 60 traders were on hand to help with anyone on the hunt for collectible from the worlds of Marvel, DC, Pokemon, Star Wars, Dungeons & Dragons and everything in between.

Queues built ahead of doors opening on an event described by organisers as a “super affordable fun day that’s suitable for all ages”.

Three people dressed as Batman, Captain America and Marv from Sin City recreated a battle scene for audiences.

Steven Clelland, leisure manager at Inverness Leisure said: “It was great to see so many people attending this weekend’s BGCP Comic Con event at Inverness Leisure.

“Considering there were other very high-profile events taking place in and around Inverness, seeing so many enthusiasts coming along demonstrates the popularity of these kind of events.

“We would very hope to see the event return again in the future.”

Our photographer Jason Hedges was there to capture some of the best moments.
