Cosplayers is cartoonist Dash Shaw's ode to that defining element of fandom. Artfully celebrating both the culture's obvious theatricality and uniquely D.I.Y. beauty, as well as its often awkward conflation of fantasy and reality, Cosplayers explores these delicate psychological balancing acts via a series of interconnected short stories surrounding two young women, Annie and Verti, who combine their love of cosplaying with their love of popular culture.

An expanded, updated edition to coincide with the release of Dash Shaw's 2017 feature film, My Entire High School is Sinking Into the Sea.
