SHOPPERS must have thought they had walked through the doors of the intu Braehead mall today and landed in a galaxy far, far away.
They were met with the sight of characters from all kinds of films, TV shows and comics as they hit the shops.
Thousands of sci-fi fans turned out for the Film and Comic Con Glasgow event being held in The Arena at intu Braehead.
Many fans were dressed in the costumes of their favourite sci-fi characters and they certainly caught the attention of shoppers in and around the malls.
They also flocked to hundreds of stalls set up in The Arena to snap up movie memorabilia and sought-after rare comics.
The event continues tomorrow when even more fans are expected to attend.
Marketing manager for intu Braehead, David Lyon said: “Where else but intu Braehead would Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, Spiderman and Superman come for a weekend’s shopping when they visit planet Earth?
“This Film and Comic Con is one of the most eye-catching events we have at intu Braehead and we look forward to it every year.
“Shoppers just love to see the fans dressed in their amazing costumes and you just never know who you’re going to bump into!”
