If you’re looking for a local event where you feel like you’ve stepped into a different universe, look no further than your local comic book convention.
I just got back from Dallas Fan Days in Irving, Texas where I had an amazing time. I saw tons of talented cosplayers from all over the country.
If you aren’t familiar with the term, cosplay is a contraction of costume play where cosplayers dress up as characters from movies, comic books, anime, video games, literature – the list is endless.
Many cosplayers make their own costumes and props and do their own make-up. You might see costumes and make-up that rival anything you’d see in a big budget science fiction movie.
Cosplay isn’t just a hobby for many – it’s a passionate subculture, too.
Tinker Bell at Dallas Comic Con Fan DaysI usually take my camera and take tons of cosplay pictures like the ones on this blog post. I’ll be sharing those pictures with some of the cosplay Facegroup groups in a few days.
In addition to the cosplayers, you’ll found dozens, if not hundreds of vendors selling comic books, original art, videos, t-shirts, books, and all kinds of collectibles.
There were several thousand attendees at Dallas Fan Days this year. And they are an interesting group of people. I always make a few new friends when I go to a comic con.
There are hundreds held each year all over the world. If you’ve never been to a “con” before, you owe it to yourself to experience one.
You don’t have to wear a costume to a con, but it gives you a good excuse if you want to.
