Comic book characters and other elements of fantasy descended on Huashan Culture Park in Taipei, Taiwan on April 18th for a comic book convention. Many came out dressed as their favorite characters in what was seemingly a World War II Europe type theme. For those of you unfamiliar with cosplay, take a look at this post I wrote last year outlining some of its history. More after the jump.
As I mentioned above, there seemed to be a 1930-40s Euro-type theme, with many wearing clothes of the era including a large number of military uniforms and Iron Crosses. For anyone interested in shooting some cosplay, I think this event is continuing on Sunday April 19 as well, so get down to Huashan and check it out. Here’s a few more photos. For a full galery, take a look at the cosplay gallery I have just uploaded.

That looks like a really interesting event. Wonderful portraits. The first and the fourth are my faves.
Thanks Stevo. Cosplay is so strange (to me) that it's always interesting to see,
The cutest Wehrmacht I've ever seen!
