No, Denise Dorman, it’s not cosplayers
I read Denise Dorman’s interview in Bleeding Cool today where she launches into her thoughts on the declining revenue her artist husband, Dave Dorman (and reportedly others) have seen at recent large comic conventions. Ms. Dorman largely blames this on cosplayers and their need to be seen,…
I think people have to understand that most conventions like SDCC function as trade shows to some extent. It’s geared towards fans and pros alike. The vendors which include the artists/writers behind the comics and books we love have to earn a living. Without financial support they will not survive, this is especially true of independent publishers. The fandom needs to stop being so…dare I say it, narcissistic.
