The annual summer holiday extravaganza Ani-Com & Games Hong Kong made a comeback on Friday, drawing a swarm of enthusiasts for animation, comics, video games, collectibles and music.

Running from Friday to Tuesday, this year's event entered its 27th edition with must-see activities including comic masters gatherings to demonstrate live painting skills, battling spinning top contests, a carnival for top cosplayers, animation music performances, autograph sessions and more.

China Daily photographer Adam Lam captured the highlights on the first day of the show.
