Baltimore Comic-Con’s X-Mas Gifts to You!
Baltimore Comic-Con may not
be until August 20-21, 2011, but we’ve been as busy as Santa’s elves
lining up some absolutely amazing guests for our 12th annual event. Who
are they? Well, we could tell you you’ll just have to wait and see, but
it being the holidays and all, we have a couple of gifts for you. You
are on Santa’s “nice” list, right?
Zombies may not be what you want to see under your Christmas tree
(they’re tough on all those nicely wrapped gifts), but come August,
they’ll be all you’re thinking about when you head to the Baltimore
Comic-Con. We’ve lined up the one and only Charlie Adlard, who’s been
grossing you out (and breaking your heart) since issue 7 of The Walking
Dead. He may have studied film in school, but he found his calling when
he picked up a pencil. Since then, he’s had an almost 20-year career in
comics, lending his creative vision to such titles as The X-Files, The
Crow, and Batman and Superman.
Remember when your parents would (if you were really good and
promised to stopaskingforfiveminutes-already) let you open one gift
early? You’d tear that paper to shreds, yelp with delight at whatever
awesome toy was inside, and then, five minutes later…want another
present. Well, we’re not your parents, so we’re going to give you it to
you. Charlie Adlard’s not the only top-of-the-line talent we have lined
up for the 12th annual Baltimore Comic-Con. We’ve got writer Jason Aaron
of Wolverine, Scalped, and Ultimate Comics Captain America. He’s such a
force that he’s recently been named a “Marvel Architect,” a designation
reserved for the artists and writers who are creating the most exciting
stories in the Marvel Universe.
You know, we have a feeling you’ve been REALLY good this year, so
we’re going to give you a just a little bit more. After all, there are
going to be so many incredible guests at the Baltimore Comic-Con, what’s
telling you about two more? Write and artist Mike Grell, creator or
Warlord and the Editor-In-Chief of Arrden Entertainment. Additionally,
artist Ron Frenz may be best known for his work on The Amazing
Spider-Man and Spider-Girl, but it was also his design that bowled over
DC Comics when it came time to change Superman’s look.
Mark your calendar (if you haven’t already!) for August 20-21, 2011,
and keep watching for more great news throughout the year on guests, the
Harvey Awards, industry exclusives, and programming. The latest
information can always be found at our website, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and ComicSpace pages.
