Here is a photo of Forrest J. Ackerman literally inventing cosplay. He was the first person to wear a costume to a science fiction convention. This was the World Science Fiction convention (Nycon 1) which was held during the 1939 World Fair.
Several members of the Futurians fan club were specifically banned from attending the convention - including Donald A. Wolheim and Frederik Pohl. This just goes to show you that fandom has ALWAYS been full of infighting and arguing. The internet just makes it easier to see.
