This is only a preview!
Wow! Free Comic Book Day was a blast this year! I just want everyone who I took pictures of to know that I am trying really hard to get your pictures up on this blog. But over 400 pictures were taken on Saturday so please have patience with me as I sort through all of them and make sure I have at least one good picture of everyone. I should have the next post with all the pictures by the end of this week. Until then, I hope you enjoy this look back at the great cosplay characters that volunteer their time to make your day more fun.










Black Spiderman: The Costume
by Cookster on Apr.28, 2010, under Costumes
Anyone who does crafts that require the use of superglue knows that they will eventually glue their fingers together. Spiderman wranglers are no exception. Of course I am not officially a wrangler, but at the moment I have been made in charge of gluing the “hard to reach” webs on my son Todd’s costume. Luckily we were prepared with acetone for me to place adhesive where it shouldn’t belong.
Is my costume ready yet?

Wow! It has been awhile since I wrote a post on this blog. I really have no excuse other than I have just been busy with other things. This year I took a break during my regular sewing binge to visit Disneyland during Halloween time. I did manage to get some costuming in during this period, though. 

Who you gonna call?

I put a link on my blog last week for the Arizona Ghostbusters and I really wanted to highlight them a little more than just that. AZspidey, in-between gigs as The Joker or his version of Spiderman, was asked to join the Arizona Ghostbusters a few months ago.
This group is a fan based costume club, but what makes them really special is their spirit. I am not talking ghostly spirit here, but charitable spirit like in doing community service work for many of the organizations helping children and families. These guys are not paid for their services and spend countless hours of their own time attending events and collecting donations for many charities. The Arizona Ghostbusters are committed to not only having Marshmallow Man-size fun, but to making a difference in the lives of many people.![]()
You won’t need Ecto Goggles or a PKE Meter to find these guys, just go to www.arizonaghostbusters.com and look for their next upcoming event! See them in California at San Diego Comicon 2009 in July!

AZspidey’s homemade props
by Cookster on Mar.10, 2009, under Props
Todd is a very talented graphic designer, but he loves to tinker with things. Making some of his favorite movie props has become quite a challenge and it has been amazing what he has been able to do with a little ingenuity and a trip to Home Depot.
