CNET wrote about San Diego Comic-Con at nearly 50 years of cosplay, collectibles and long lines. The article included an interview with Agnes Garbowska. When asked about the event, Agnes was quoted as saying: “I find myself educating people about comics,” The article continued by saying “As someone who used to hide her childhood comic books to avoid being labeled too “weird,” she’s happy to see a broader acceptance of geekery. She would, though, like to see more cross-promotion between the source material and its adaptations.”
