I recently acquired the magic ticket, or more accurately pass, to this year’s New York Comic Con. I’ve been attending the event since it began when it was much smaller. It’s expansion and increased commercialization has it’s good and bad points. The insane crowds can be a definite minus, although it gives the convention the clout to get big name TV and movie personalities to come.
The imaginative outfits are a definite plus. You can see intricate detail in many of the cowls and capes. They wear their characters like totems, reminding me of the animal garb of ancient tribal dancers. The rest of my photos capture these costumes and other sites at the event.
