DeeCon 2015 will be held at Dundee University Students’ Association on Saturday, with doors opening at noon.
Last year 2,000 people, many in costume, attended the convention and this year that figure is expected to be even bigger.
The many events and activities taking place throughout the day include the artists’ alley, comics corner, cosplaying, video games tournaments, table-top gaming and screenings of popular anime films.
DeeCon plays host to a variety of guest speakers from the comics, animation, cosplay and academic worlds and the day’s fun will be rounded off at the after-party where DJ Nanashi will be providing the beats.
Kerri Targett, a member of the organising committee, said she was looking forward to another successful event.
She said: “We are extremely excited to be hosting DeeCon 2015 and it is amazing to see the support and following it has accumulated since its beginning.
“We are grateful for all those who come along and make the day such a success and help out the final-year animation students.
“This year we will be integrating the Dundee Comics Expo, which will expand DeeCon’s interest and adds to the event by celebrating Dundee’s, and Scotland’s, comic and graphic novel heritage.
The event is organised predominantly by students and alumni of Dundee University’s Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design.
It is a fundraising event with all proceeds going towards the college’s animation degree show next month.
