COSPLAYER SPOTLIGHT

 2020 has seen many things put on hold. If you are comic book fan, there have been no conventions since the end of February. In addition, movies like Black Widow and Wonder Woman 1984 have  been delayed. In the spirit of the things not seen this year, I'd like to share a memory of both an event and of Wonder Woman.

One of my favorite things about tabling at comic book conventions is seeing all of the wonderful cosplayers. I'm always so impressed by the care and the workmanship that goes into the costumes that people make. There are some that really stand out.


Last August I attended Wizard World Chicago. As I looked into the crowd of people walking through the convention I was struck by a tall woman who was a dead ringer for the Linda Carter Wonder Woman.





The cosplayer is professional model and burlesque artist Ruby Spencer. Ruby's specialty is retro pin-up poses, and had been recruited to help one of the vendors at the convention.





In addition to Wonder Woman, Ruby also came dressed as Zatana and 1960's Julie Newmar Catwoman.






These  outfits are but the tip-off the iceberg for this local Chicago model. Check out her social media sites:
