Comic Creator Photo Gallery [NYCC 2013]

We might be big fans of cosplay on ComicsAlliance, but we're bigger fans of the creators that make the worlds they celebrate possible. We hit Artist's Alley and the (very, very crowded) floor of his year's New York Comic-Con and tried to capture just a few of the talented individuals who had made the trek to the Javits Center.

All photos by Kevin Church. Yes, they're in black and white.
