FASHION TIPS FROM COMIC STRIPS

Sartorialist Meets Superhero: J’onn J’ozz and M’gann M’orzz stylin’ on you. 

PERFECTION. I love their twee, 50’s digs, especially the coordination of M’gann’s peter pan collared blouse with the red cigarette pants.

Dudes, please take notes on J’onn’s ensemble.

Best Cosplay Ever (This Week) - 06.06.11

Although cosplay has been present for decades within the comics, anime, and sci-fi/fantasy fandoms, social media has played an integral role in the thriving community of costuming that exists today and cosplay communities such as Cosplay.com and the Superhero Costuming Forum. In honor of the many fans who’ve displayed excellence in the mastery of homemade disguise, craftsmanship, and sartorial superheroics, ComicsAlliance has created Best Cosplay Ever (This Week), a weekly collection of some of the most impeccable, creative, and clever costumes that we’ve discovered and assembled into our own super-showcase of pure fan-devoted talent.

Check out this week’s round-up of the Best Cosplay Ever on ComicsAlliance, featuring Zatanna, Martian Manhunter, Jem & the Holograms, The Question (above), and more!

Featured comic guest Darwyn Cooke created this amazing t-shirt for the upcoming Boston Comic Con. I can’t wait to grab one of these at the end of the month!

EDIT: According to @BostonComicCon, DC Comics refused licensing for the production of these shirts. What a shame - I would’ve loved a shirt and/or a poster of this artwork, especially since it reps my hometown, my love for Darwyn Cooke, and my life-long allegiance to DC Comics.
