Somebody dressed up as the new Joker? Gee, I wonder if I'll see a lot of these at the Comic-Con?
Ahh, the lucrative business of selling overpriced bootleg DVDs.
A classic Vincent Price Halloween activity - Shrunken Head Apple Sculpture!
How many superheroes do you know who always keep some luggage on hand?
More booth babes... yadda, yadda.
Maybe it's just me, but that Superman logo emblem on his chest it a tad bit on the large side.
A nice touch was that he actually had a small radio playing the Superman theme song under his cape.
Holy crapballs! It's William Kat - aka: The Greatest American Hero!
And his partner Bill Maxwell (Robert Culp) - who I was surprised to see is still alive. Awesome.
Seth Green (Robot Chicken) also stopped by the Greatest American Hero booth to pay his respects.
He's also a regular at my favorite theater in L.A., the New Beverly Cinema. Rock on, Seth.
Bat-o-licious!
Perhaps I should wear animals on my head like this guy instead of the pickle hat?
This girl really had the evil Joker smile down to a science.
A mix of modern and classic, Garbage Pail Kids and Wacky Packages through the ages.
A "Universal Monsters" Ninja Turtles figure and a Swamp Thing "Bog Rover", just because you don't see them too often.
Please, no matter how much you want to be the Joker this Halloween, do NOT buy this shitty looking mask.
Especially for $50.00.
With a fairly large team of security guys surrounding him, Kevin Spacey wandered the Comic-Con floor.
Ashley Laurence from the first two Hellraiser films is still busy as ever in the world of horror.
The Toxic Avenger continues to be a staple of the Comic-Con, and always good for an interview... or janitorial duties.
Where's the rest o' your burlesque troupe?
As always, there were plenty o' robot characters on display at the 'con.
If I had a nickel for every person who touched this plastic replica and said, "It's not really carbonite!"
I'd be a very rich man.
There are still many more

Awesome pics RoG, really nice work. Glad to see some of the costumes I missed (though I could've done without that one Wonder Woman's ass. She was hovering by the Slave Labor Graphics booth when I was stuck in line, and it wasn't pretty to look). And massive kudos for finding the two really awesome Jokers amidst a sea of them (I think that Nurse one was also the one carrying the pencil around, extra points there). But where's the shot of the giant GIR costume?
compare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DrMrsTheMonarch.jpg
too much manboob and too many oddly unnattractive freaks though.
Not like they are ugly people,because I'm sure they'd look fine in their regular clothing,
but the sort of people who shouldnt dress up as something they cant pull off.
and a few of those pictures might earn you a spot on a predator list. =P
SO yeah, agenda is currently: Get a dog, buy a pump, go to Comic-Con '09.
Hey, I think Nick has a nifty idea for you. Ever thought about creating a Pickleman costume for yourself and maul people with a giant pickle at the con?
You have a very difficult life going to these things as a business expense don't you.
I wish I could've gone. Alas, it's a pipe dream.
Look interesting though. Just a little too crowded for my taste.
And as for the other mystery, (http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/comic-con08/276.jpg) The one with horns looks like a Yuna Berserker from Final Fantasy X-2, but I've got no idea on the maid.
PS - Rog, you still suck for being able to go and I didn't, but awsome pics, man! Loved looking at them all!
Also, RoG, the chick with the green hair in that one G.I.JOE pic is Zartan's daughter. She's in the comics only. So don't worry, it wasn't a really bad Baroness or anything.
My favorite pic this year is definitely the Stormtrooper and the little kid Spider-Man. That fucking rules.
I really hope I can make it out there for next year's con.

And thanks for clearing up about Zartan's daughter. I was afraid, myself, that it was a poor Baroness cosplay, and then it was "Wait, Zartan had a daughter?!"
Second on the favorite photo and second on the "hope to be there next year" but unfortunately, I shall have to likely have to continue living vicariously through Rog's photo galleries.
Also, I had a friend tell me about the Yu Gi Oh thing a while ago. I stopped playing a while ago because it just got so stupid. Now, in the show, they play on those duel-runner motorcycle things. THEY PLAY CARDS WHILE RACING ON MOTORCYCLES.
As always the designer toy photos were awesome, I ought to get me some of those.
Secondly, you should have brought a bunch of bananas for Kevin Spacey so he can recreate that scene from K-PAX.
