| Green Lantern (Rob) and Superman |
The Baltimore Comic-Con happened last week, and I (Rob) go every year to shop for comics and graphic novels (which I still collect and have since the 1970s), and I like to cosplay (dress as a hero or villain).
My favorite costume is Green Lantern, because everyone says I have the character's hair and body type. So, I put a Green Lantern costume together several years ago and drove to Baltimore in full attire. I met many other heroes and some villains. Here are some highlights from the comic-con...

| Two women as characters I don't know and Spiderman |
MANY CHARACTERS - Since there are now so many comics, and so many publishers, it's impossible to keep track of all of the characters and who people were dressed like. I photographed 2 costumed woman and a guy dressed as Spiderman, but I had no idea who the women were dressed as (although one could have been from Star Wars films).

THE BLUE SKINNED GUY - One tall guy had a blue complexion and a fin on his head. He's apparently a character from the movie and comics series "Guardians of the Galaxy." The Character's name is Yondu, and he
is a space pirate leading one of the factions of
"The Ravagers". He also appears in the film's 2017 sequel, Guardians of
the Galaxy Vol. 2.

CAPTAIN AMERICA AND PRINCESS - One dad was dressed as Captain America, and he brought his daughter who was dressed as a princess. It was so cute, I had to get their picture!
