The third in the Silicon Web Costumers’ Guild webinar series has been announced. The webinar takes place on Sunday Jan 29, 2023 from 1-2.30pm PT, 4-5.30pm ET.
Join author Andrew Liptak as he discusses his book Cosplay: A History. The book is a deep dive into the origins and culture of cosplay that covers a wide swath of its history to understand where it came from, how it has evolved, and why it has become such a mainstream phenomenon.
According to Adam Savage, who wrote the introduction to the book, “Andrew has done a great service to the world by writing this book and treating this beautiful art with the seriousness it deserves, despite cosplay’s penchant for absurdity.”
Andrew Liptak is a writer and historian, and a member of the 501st Legion, an international fan-based organization dedicated to the dark side of Star Wars.
