Best Comic Book Halloween Costume: Actual Comic Book Drawing
Halloween is just around the corner, and if you haven't picked a costume, you'd best get on that, stat. Personally, I'm going as Batwoman, and while most fans will agree that comic book costumes are a solid choice, every once in a while someone spins their love of the medium into something special. Today, we tip our hat to this lady, who transformed herself not into a comic book character but an actual comic book drawing, with inking, Ben-Day dots and all.

That is like the best costume ever! I am 18 and I dressed up as a candy corn witch with my friends. I wish I dressed up like a comic book character.

It's interesting that it's based on a Lichtenstein painting, but either way it's still an awesome costume for someone who wants to dress up as a Ben-Day dotted comic book character.

Too bad she's not actually dressed as a comic book character, she's actually portraying one of Roy Lichtenstein classic paintings, not a comic.

She isn't just a generic comic book character, she's a Lichtenstein painting. And this was a project done by Mac Cosmetics.

Wow, that is amazing. Really brilliant idea, well executed. I hope she made a lot of pics so she can photoshop them into panels.

This is terrific, using old-timey letterpress halftone dots hand painted as precisely as if they'd been screened onto her body. Kudos to all!

It was great to come across this here! My friend Karin did the original design of this makeup. She is an amazing makeup artist working for M.A.C. in Chicago. Thanks for sharing!
