San Diego Comic Con 2010

July 21-25, 2010

This was our seventh year of attending Comic Con in costume and the fun keeps on going. This year found new challenges and new characters along with the classic Batman crew.

Well, one of the main costumes I did this year at SDCC was Zorro as portrayed by the amazing Guy Williams.

The costume was made mostly by my wife, Vickie with some of the pieces worked on by myself
merely days before the convention. Vickie did the makeup which took over an hour.Vickie airbrushed my skin for a deeper tone and then added the mustache by brushing spirit gum along the mustache line wanted and laying in individual patches of crepe wool. She then trimmed the mustache to the desired look.

With Vickie who was the character Novice Hame from Doctor Who. She’s really taken on some adventurous projects in makeup and sewing. She did her own makeup for the cat nun for two of the days. That one is about a three hour process to put on and about an hour to remove. What a trooper!

Posing for pictures with my friends the Marvels. Vickie also made the Mary Marvel outfit for our friend Teri.

Classic bubble gum cards

Standing at Odin’s throne at the Marvel booth. It almost looks like it could have belonged in a Zorro movie.

There’s a great area by the Marriott’s pool for taking pictures.

“Ho! Ha Ha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha! Thrust!”

Here’s some more from our fun at SDCC.

Thursday was Star Trek TOS Day. Vickie made the dresses and tunics for most of the crew.

Isn’t is great you can get all these cool Trek props from TRU nowadays?

Those Klingon bastards!

I think I found a scratch here, Seth. That’s the last time I let you take the car out.

I traded Kato in for some Hornets

Later on Friday, I switched into my old standy, Batman to join up with Robin, Catwoman and the Marvels.

“Green Hornet? He was here earlier? You don’t say…”

Kids are the best!

Sunday I didn’t dress up but Vickie went as Novice Hame while Teri was the Black Canary.
