Shasta's work amazes us time and time again, but her Playtime cosplay for @captainbluehen.bsky.social's Local Comic Shop Day event was really spectacular.

Check out Minor Threats: The Last Devil Left Alive #1 at your LCS this Wednesday!

Two images side-by-side.
On the left: costumer extraordinaire Shasta Schatz cosplaying as the character Playtime from the comic series Minor Threats (wearing a domino mask and a green jacket) against a backdrop for Captain Blue Hen Comics.
On the right: the cover to Minor Threats - The Last Devil Left Alive #1, out from Dark Horse Comics on October 1st.
