An interview with Andrew Litpak, author of Cosplay: A History and a look at the history of The Demon, Etrigan on his 50th anniversary. Plus news and more on Superhero Suite.
It’s con season, so you will be seeing a lot of fans dressed as superheroes. But where did all this costuming begin?
This week we talk to author Andrew Liptak about his new book Cosplay: A History. And 50 years ago, Jack Kirby was asked to come up with a new character for a new age of comics. His answer was The Demon, Etrigan. While his popularity waned after a few years, he has continued to be a periodically important character in the DC universe. Jay and Josh show the world how bad they are at medieval poetry on Superhero Suite.
