Dark Horse Wants to Certify Your Cosplay!

Joseph Luster March 26, 2013

Dark Horse plans to show some appreciation for cosplayers dedicated enough to dress up as their favorite Dark Horse manga characters at conventions. In an effort to acknowledge the effort put into costumes from the likes of FLCL, Hellsing, Blade of the Immortal, Gantz and beyond, the publisher will be bestowing cosplayers with their official Cosplayer Certificate of Appreciation.

All folks dressed as Dark Horse characters have to do to receive a certificate is head to the Dark Horse manga booth in costume. The certificate itself, pictured below, is decked out with Dark Horse’s 25th anniversary manga logo and a special red ink stamp with calligraphy by Final Fantasy artist Yoshitaka Amano.

Here’s the full list of cons where Dark Horse will be offering up certificates:
