Comic-Con Fans Find Diversity With ‘Black Panther’ and ‘Captain Marvel’; New York Times, 7/24/16

Brooks Barnes, New York Times; Comic-Con Fans Find Diversity With ‘Black Panther’ and ‘Captain Marvel’ :
"Comic-Con, which ran from Wednesday to Sunday, started in the 1970s as an almost entirely male gathering of comic book enthusiasts. It has grown into a sprawling event for fans of superheroes, horror movies, animation and television shows of all kinds, attracting roughly 140,000 people to downtown San Diego every July. The nonprofit organization behind the event does not release demographic information about attendees, except to say that crowds are now roughly 50 percent female."
