Comic-Con… 1982

comic-con-1982.jpg

Eighties cosplay! No one can figure out who these die-hard comic fans are dressed up as. I’m guessing it’s a confused group of Starjammers.

Alan Light’s photo set of San Diego Comic-Con 1982 is full candid shots of legends like Will Eisner, Milt Caniff, Burne Hogarth and Jack Kirby walking around like they’re normal people.

And (unrelated to illustration) check out the rest of Alan’s galleries. He’s pretty much put his whole life online.

    The number 2 guy, with the envelope, looks like he’s acting like Sean Connery in Outland.
    Well his outfit looks something like the one in Outland…he’s a bit wee, like.
