"數十萬人湧進漫博"

為期六天的展覽從15號盛大開始，創下破紀錄的參訪人次。

年度的漫畫博覽會最近在台北世貿中心舉辦，第一天就吸引了將近十萬人次參加。許多瘋狂漫畫迷為了能夠搶到各式各樣限量的收藏品和漫畫家的親筆簽名，於活動開始前就已經在場地外排隊了。有些人甚至一個月前就開始輪流排隊。

今年有將近70間動漫界的企業參加漫博，設立了459個攤位。像是《變態王子與不笑貓》的系列，兩小時內就賣出了兩千本，而爭議性十足的漫畫《進擊的巨人》第一天就賣出了上百套。估計總營業額將達到2.5億元。

尖端出版社首席執行長黃鎮隆，說展覽能夠幫助凝聚漫畫迷並替這個產業加溫。他也預估這個活動帶來的銷售量，將佔他們年度銷量的3%，主要是透過產品的差異還有提高每個消費者的平均購買量。

(Culture) Hundreds of Thousands of People Flock to Comic Exhibition

The 6-day exhibition kicked off to a brilliant start on the 15th, drawing in a record-breaking number of people.

The annual comic exhibition was recently held at Taipei World Trade Center, attracting nearly 100,000 attendees on its first day. Many comic enthusiasts had lined up outside the venue before the event started in order to get their hands on various limited edition collectibles and comic book artists autographs. Some had even been taking turns waiting in line since over a month ago.

This year, almost 70 businesses in the cartoon and comic book industry participated in the event with 459 booths being set up. Series like The HENTAI prince and the stony cat sold 2000 copies in just two hours and the controversial comic Attack on Titan sold hundreds of sets on the first day. It was expected that total sales at the exhibition would reach $250 million.

Michael Huang, CEO of Sharp Point Publishing Group, said the exhibition can help bring together comic fans and heat up the industry. He also estimated that sales generated from the event, mainly through product differentiation and increasing average sales per customer, would account for 3% of their annual sales.
