No movie stars or studio celebs? No problem.

Despite fears that the actors’ strike would throw a damper on festivities, the Exhibit Hall and lobby areas were packed on Day 1 of San Diego Comic-Con International.

Thursday also saw no dearth of Darth Vaders, Spidermen and Barbies at the annual San Diego Convention Center cosplay free-for-all — with long lines to buy collectibles.

Here are some of the best dressed badge-holders we saw Thursday.
