Background

Comic-cons and pop expos are popular in the US, UK, Australia, and Japan. For years Bangladeshi fans wished for such events in Bangladesh.

Their wishes finally came true - DHAKA COMICON, then DHAKA POP CULTURE EXPO, then UNMAD-JCC COMIC CON.

DHAKA POP CULTURE EXPO (called 'DHAKA POP EXPO' for short) is a convention for fans of comic books, film, TV, anime, and video games to gather and celebrate the things they love!
