If you missed National Geek Pride Day on May 25, think of the Tower District Comic Crawl as belated celebration.

The annual event is a cosplay-laden ode to supe heroes, villains, action and horror films and science-fiction adventure series.

Dress up as Iron Man, Batman, Darth Vader or Rey (that’s Daisy Ridley’s character in the upcoming “Star Wars” film). Wander between the dozen restaurants, bars and clubs offering live entertainment and drink specials for the night. There will also be a photo scavenger hunt and vendors selling an assortment of geek-chic gear and novelties.
