AnimeCon ’91: Desslok Cosplay

Posted by Michael Pinto on Jan 28, 2007 in Fandom |

This is some old school cosplay from AnimeCon 91 (the first major American anime con with major guests from Japan)! This is Robert Fenelon cosplaying as Leader Desslok from Star Blazers:

I first met Rob about ten years (or more?) before the above video was shot. Anime fandom was very small back in the day, we were blown away if you could get 100 people to show up at a C/FO (Cartoon/Fantasy Organization) meeting. Rob was very much a central figure back in those days, and after I handed the Star Blazers Fan Club over to him he created the first full color anime fanzine “Anime-Zine” back in the early 80s.
