Wikipedia Description: San Diego Comic-Con International
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

San Diego Comic-Con International is a multi-genre entertainment and comic convention held annually in San Diego, California. It was founded as the Golden State Comic Book Convention in 1970 by a group of San Diegans, which included Shel Dorf, Richard Alf, Ken Krueger, and Mike Towry; later, it was called the "San Diego Comic Book Convention". The name, as given on its website, is Comic-Con International: San Diego; but it is commonly known simply as Comic-Con or the San Diego Comic-Con or "SDCC". It is a four-day event (Thursday–Sunday) held during the summer at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. On the Wednesday evening prior to the official opening of the event, there is a preview for professionals, exhibitors, and select guests pre-registered for all four days.

Comic-Con International also produces two other conventions, WonderCon, held in Los Angeles, California, and the Alternative Press Expo (APE), held in San Francisco. Since 1974, Comic-Con has bestowed its annual Inkpot Award on guests and persons of interest in the popular arts industries, as well as on members of Comic-Con's board of directors and the Convention committee. It is also the home of the Will Eisner Awards.

Originally showcasing primarily comic books and science fiction/fantasy related film, television, and similar popular arts, the convention has since included a larger range of pop culture and entertainment elements across virtually all genres, including horror, animation, anime, manga, toys, collectible card games, video games, webcomics, and fantasy novels. According to Forbes, the convention is the "largest convention of its kind in the world;" Publishers Weekly wrote "Comic-Con International: San Diego is the largest show in North America;" it is also the largest convention held in San Diego. In 2010, it filled the San Diego Convention Center to capacity with more than 130,000 attendees.
Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SDCCST_180719_007.JPG: All hail her most Imperial Majesty, Mother of the Fatherland, Overlord of Vulcan, Dominus of Kronos, Regina Andor. All hail the Emperor, Philippa Georgiou Augustus Iaponius Centaurius
2. SDCCST_180719_018.JPG: Star Trek: Discovery Imperial Guard Truncheon Imposing brute-force weapons, these truncheons were used by imperial guards to maintain order and keep control of prisoners and enemies of the Emperor. The truncheons were 3D printed, then molded and cast in a soft acrylic and foam combination to be used in stunt fights.
3. SDCCST_180719_024.JPG: Star Trek: Discovery Terran Empire Throwing Disc These deadly weapons were favored in combat by Emperor Philippa Georgiou. Georgiou was extremely skilled with these spinning, multi-bladed weapons, which could be thrown with enough speed and accuracy to kill multiple opponents in a single, swift gesture. The throwing discs feature a dragon motif, multi-level blade design, and were designed and 3D printed in Toronto with a custom, weathered gold paint finish.
4. SDCCST_180719_029.JPG: Star Trek: Discovery Emperor Georgiou's Imperial Sword & Scabbard Emperor Philippa Georgiou's sword was both ceremonial and a deadly weapon she would not hesitate to use for combat or executions as the situation warranted. The beautiful and ornate sword features a polished aluminum blade with bronze castings for the pommel and crosspiece. The handle was made from carved wood with leather inset and bronze banding while the scabbard and belt were created from wood and leather.
5. SDCCST_180719_031.JPG: Star Trek: Discovery Emperor Georgiou Undercover Attire While working undercover on the Klingon homeworld, Terran emperor Philippa Georgiou attempted to dress down to better blend in to the Orion district on Qo'noS. Costume designer Gersha Phillips was striving for a "space pirate" look that would also allow the deposed emperor to retain a sinister regality. The costume features many different looks including leather pants, a three-quarter sleeve leather jacket with a built-in harness, and a holster from her Terran uniform. The ensemble was assembled by the Star Trek: Discovery costume department.
6. SDCCST_180719_037.JPG: Star Trek: Discovery Michael Burnham's Terran Empire Captain Uniform This two-piece Terran Empire Captain's uniform was worn by Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) aboard the I.S.S. Shenzhou. The gold piping and ornate gold chest and sleeve armor signify a senior officer in the Empire. The uniform jumpsuit is a custom dyed fabric and leather, and the body armor is thermoplastic with custom leather overlays. It was assembled by the Star Trek: Discovery costume department under the direction of costume designer Gersha Phillips.
7. SDCCST_180719_053.JPG: (left) Star Trek: Discovery Paul Stamet's Terran Empire Science Uniform This is a standard Terran Empire duty uniform worn by the Mirror Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp) aboard the Terran flagship ISS Charon. The silver-colored piping and trim details on the armor signify an officer in the Empire;s science division. The leather armor was created from custom molded thermoplastic with a custom leather overlay. Leather gloves were custom designed and feature neoprene knuckle padding. The fabric for the uniform jumpsuit was hand-dyed in Switzerland and assembled by the Star Trek: Discovery costume department under the direction of costume designer Gersha Phillips.
8. SDCCST_180719_064.JPG: Star Trek: Discovery First Officer Keyla Detmer's Command Uniform This uniform was worn by First Officer Keyla Detmer (Emily Coutts) of the ISS Shenzhou. The gold-colored piping and hashed trim details on the chest armor signify Detmer's role as first officer aboard ISS Shenzhou and the sleeve armor is indicative of a senior officer. Pins denoting her rank and awarded medals are also visible on the armor. The leather armor was crafted from molded thermoplastic with a custom leather overlay, while the jumpsuit was created from hand dyed fabric by the Star Trek: Discovery wardrobe team under the direction of costume designer Gersha Phillips.
9. SDCCST_180719_069.JPG: Star Trek: Discovery Terran Resistance Officer Members of the Terran Resistance face harsh and unforgiving conditions as they attempt to elude the Empire, so their clothing is designed for utilitarian use. This uniform was worn by the willful Andorian, Shukar (Riley Gilchrist), a trusted lieutenant of The Fire Wolf (the leader of the resistance), later revealed to be the Klingon, Voq. Costume designer Gersha Phillips learned into Andorian costumes from Star Trek: Enterprise for a detailed look using sleeve cording and multiple bonded leathers to create alien textures. Elements were aged and distressed to create a look consistent with a resistance colony.
10. SDCCST_180719_081.JPG: Star Trek: Discovery Mirror Universe Sarek Sarek (James Frain) is known among the Terran-Resistance as "The Prophet," an oracle prized by the resistance for his mind-melding ability and behavioral insights. His traditional dress reflects the Vulcan culture and expresses his devotion to a way of life far different from that of the Empire. Sarek's costume features leather leggings, a textured leather tunic, and customized boots and spats, all distressed and aged to create the look of a dystopian resistance member. The costume was designed by Gersha Phillips and built by the Star Trek: Discovery costume department.
11. SDCCST_180719_086.JPG: Star Trek: Discovery Sylvia Tilly's Terran Empire Captain Uniform This two-piece Terran Empire Captain's uniform was worn by Cadet Sylvia Tilly (Mary Wiseman) aboard the USS/ISS Discovery while masquerading as her more sadistic and murderous Terran counterpart, "Captain Killy." The gold piping and ornate gold chest and shoulder armor signify a senior officer in the Empire. The uniform jumpsuit is custom dyed fabric and leather, and the body armor is thermoplastic with custom leather overlays, it was assembled by the Star Trek: Discovery costume department under the direction of costume designer Gersha Phillips.
12. SDCCST_180719_099.JPG: Star Trek: Discovery Terran Empire Regalia In addition to the standard Empire insignia, Terran officer uniforms are marked by the use of various regalia pins denoting key achievements in one's career. The individual insignia are created from milled aluminum and laser cut plastic. Seen here are the achievement regalia for Master of Poisons, 50 kills, 100 kills, 150 kills, Bridge Crew, Badge of Victory, First Officer, and Mortal Wound Survivor. Terran Empire Insignia Terran Empire insignia badges from the Mirror Universe indicate command, operations, and science divisions just as in Starfleet. The gold, copper, and silver badges were made in Toronto by making wax models from 3D prints, then creating plaster molds for bronze to be poured into. The badges were then polished and plated by a jeweler to create the custom colors for Discovery.
13. SDCCST_180719_112.JPG: Star Trek: Discovery Terran Empire Daggers A standard-issue, traditional bladed weapon of the Terran Empire that is used in close quarters combat. Daggers are often used both in combat and for self-defense from those who challenge an officer's place in the command structure. Shown here is a standard-issue Terran dagger as well as the ceremonial gold dagger of Emperor Philippa Georgiou. These daggers were created from milled aluminum in Toronto, Canada.
14. SDCCST_180719_124.JPG: Star Trek: Discovery Terran Empire Hand Agonizer The Hand Agonizer is a smaller version of the Empire's preferred punishment protocol, the agonizer booth. Hand agonizers are standard issue devices used for on-the-spot punishment and are extremely painful to their victims. The hand agonizers were first 3D printed, then molds were made to mass produce them and to create the translucent red finish.
15. SDCCST_180719_128.JPG: Star Trek: Discovery Sylvia Tilly's Terran Empire Captain Uniform
16. SDCCST_180719_135.JPG: Star Trek: Discovery Ash Tyler's Terran Empire Security Uniform This standard Terran Empire duty uniform was worn by Ash Tyler (Shazad Latif) while aboard the ISS Shenzhou. The copper-colored piping and trim details on the armor pieces signify a senior security officer in the Empire. The leather armor was created from custom molded thermoplastic with a custom leather overlay. Leather gloves were custom designed and feature neoprene knuckle padding. The fabric for the uniform jumpsuit was hand-dyed in Switzerland and assembled by the Star Trek: Discovery costume department under the direction of costume designer Gersha Phillips.
