JEDDAH — Nobody gave Ahmed al-Dainiy a second glance on Thursday as he walked among the youthful crowd on the opening day of Saudi Arabia’s first Comic-Con event, wearing a horse head mask. Unrelated men and women are normally segregated in Saudi Arabia, where restaurants have separate sections for "single" men and families. In contrast, most women at the event wore traditional black robes and head covers. ’Family appeal’"Many people in Saudi Arabia like Japanese culture so much, and Korean culture," Abdul Aziz said, calling it "amazing" that Comic-Con is taking place in her country. "Saudi Arabia now is opening," the smiling young woman said.
