"Batman" & "Alien"

Glasgow Comic Art Convention, 1993

Contestants dressed as Batman and Alien

These two were taking part in the costume parade at the Glasgow convention; the chap in the Alien costume had been carrying it around in a big carrier bag all weekend. It was a modified set of motorbike leathers, and very convincing, even close up.

The lad dressed as Batman was using a balaclava as a mask; he had to keep tweaking the corners to make them come to points. When someone from the audience shouted out "what about your ears?," he replied, "yes, I'm having them syringed on Saturday."
