Come to Baltimore's Inner Harbor for the premiere inaugural three-day Baltimore Comic-Con, September 5-7, 2014, at the Baltimore Convention Center!

Joining our line-up of comics super-stars are two titans of the industry: Dan Jurgens and Keith Giffen! Both have written and drawn significant storylines at major publishers over the course of their respective careers.
 
Jurgens, who has written or drawn virtually every major title at Marvel and DC, started his career at DC Comics on The Warlord, and worked his way through titles including Booster Gold, Green Arrow, and Justice League of America. He is also the writing talent behind the award-winning "Death of Superman" storyline, which was part of his 10-year run on the Superman title.

He moved over to Marvel Comics to launch The Sensational Spider-Man, followed by Captain America and a 7-year run on Thor. He has since returned to DC Comics where he returned to Booster Gold and has contributed art and writing on numerous New 52 titles.
 
Giffen has gained acclaim for his art and writing contributions to many titles, series, and events over the course of his career. Noted for his contributions to multiple runs of DC Comics' Legion of Super-Heroes, he is also part of the creative team behind the humorous Justice League International, Justice League Europe, Formerly Known as the Justice League, and JLA Classified. He is also responsible for creating DC's Lobo and Ambush Bug characters. At Marvel Comics, Giffen's work includes a relaunch of The Defenders, Annihilation and the event's supporting titles, and Nick Fury's Howling Commandos.
 
He has also contributed to titles such as Dark Horse's Division 13 and Agents of Law, Valiant's Solar, Man of the Atom, X-O Manowar, and Magnus, Robot Fighter, Tokyopop's I Luv Halloween, BOOM! Studios' Heroes Squared, Image's Common Foe and Tabula Rasa, and many others titles and publishers, big and small.
 
Together, Giffen and Jurgens are teaming up to co-write DC Comics' The New 52: Future's End, a year-long series set 5 years into the future of DC's continuity.
 
"Future's End promises to be a really fantastic story," said Marc Nathan, promoter of the Baltimore Comic-Con, "and we are so happy to have Keith and Dan to the show, as we know our fans are as well!"
