  1. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Dan Mora Attending: Saturday and Sunday FIRST UK APPEARANCE Artist: Hexed; Klaus COSTA Rican artist only began working in comics in 2014, initially drawing the solitary issue of Quixote, AndWorld Design's one and only title. Almost immediately he was hired by BOOM! Studios for which he illustrated all 11 issues of Hexed. When that title ended in 2015, he moved over to join legendary Scots writer, Grant Morrison on his current project, Klaus, a BOOM! six-parter that premieres simultaneously with his appearance at Newcastle Film and Comic Con 2015.
  2. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Joe Benitez Attending: Saturday and Sunday Writer/Artist: Lady Mechanika; Weapon Zero; The Darkness CURRENTLY writing and drawing Lady Mechanika for his own Benitez Productions, Joe Benitez first came to notice as the co-creator of Weapon Zero, illustrating and co-writing Top Cow’s initial 1995 five-parter and all 15 issues of the monthly series that followed in 1996. Prior to the series’ launch Benitez had already been working for the Image imprint and its WildStorm associate for almost two years, assisting on a variety of titles. While illustrating the ongoing Weapon Zero, he was also a significant contributor to Devil’s Reign, working on the Ballistic/Wolverine, Witchblade/Elektra and Silver Surfer/Weapon Zero chapters of the 1997 Marvel/Top Cow crossover. Wrapping up on the Weapon Zero monthly the artist remained with Top Cow to illustrate 18 issues of The Darkness and then 2000’s Magdalena three-parter following which he played a major role in both issues of the Overkill: Witchblade/Aliens/Darkness/Predator crossover. Increasingly in demand as a cover artist, Benitez produced no further story art until 2003 when he was heavily involved with two one-shots: The Magdalena/Vampirella and Witchblade: Nottingham. His first major non-Top Cow project followed in 2005 when he co-wrote and drew the six issues of Wraithborn for WildStorm, which had been acquired by DC in 1999. Work on a variety of DC superhero titles followed although he was also producing covers for an increasing number of publishers; Aspen, Zenescope, IDW, Dynamite and Extreme Studios (another Image imprint) as well as DC among them. Benitez – who pencilled 2010’s Pilot Season: Demonic one shot for Top Cow – continues with his’ cover work although his primary focus these days is Lady Mechanika, which he launched at Aspen in 2010.
  3.

  4. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Roger Langridge Attending: Friday, Saturday and Sunday Writer/artist: The Muppet Show; Snarked!; Fin Fang Four; Popeye; Thor the Mighty Avenger ALTHOUGH he is now famed for his humour comics, Roger Langridge first came to prominence in 1991 as the illustrator of a 15-chapter serial featuring the eponymous Lawman of the Future for Judge Dredd Megazine. The New Zealander had, however, begun his career a year earlier, drawing the four issues of Art d’Ecco for Fantagraphics. Those comics were written by his brother, Andrew with whom he also collaborated on the publisher’s Leather Underwear one-shot as well as on a story for an issue of its Graphic Story Monthly. He then went solo, writing and drawing a contribution to the four issues of Marvel/Epic’s A1 anthology. While working on the Megazine, Langridge – who has been based in London since 1993 – also drew both issues of Fantagraphics’ Knuckles the Malevolent Nun before reuniting with his brother in 1992 for the six issues of Zoot!. Two years later he was contributing to The Big Book of… series published by DC’s Piranha Press imprint. Drawing stories in the first nine volumes of that title took him into 1997 although he fitted in a 1995 four-parter for Dark Horse Presents – with a second following in 1996 – along the way. Going on to draw for another half-dozen volumes of The Big Book of… between 1997 and 2000, Langridge also inked all 14 issues of Gross Point for DC, pencilling a handful of stories for that 1997 along the way. Two years later Langridge’s most famous creation appeared in print for the first time when Les Cartoonistes Dangereux released Fred the Clown, a one-shot that collected the webcomic the writer/artist had premiered earlier in the year. Subsequently he drew strips for a short run on Doctor Who Magazine while also working on DC’s 1999 Bizarro Comics anthology and the first four issues of Graphic Classics for Eureka Productions. In addition he wrote and drew Frankenstein meets Shirley Temple, He released that 2000 one-shot under his own Hotel Fred Press banner through which he would also publish six issues of Fred the Clown, a series he launched in 2001, as well as Muppet Maybes (a collection of unpublished cartoons) in 2008 and Doctor Sputnik two years later. By 2004 most of Langridge’s work was outside comics although he did draw (and co-write) Marvel Monsters: Fin Fang Four (a 2005 one-shot) as well as illustrating strips in two other one-offs that year: Marvel Holiday Special and Bizarro World, DC’s follow up to Bizarro Comics. He also reworked a story for the following year’’s Marvel Romance Redux: But I thought he Loved Me! #1 and illustrated one for Marvel’s one-off Civil War: Choosing Sides comic. After contributions to a handful of other Marvel anthologies, Langridge revisited a 2005 one-shot for 2008’s four-issue Fin Fang Four before moving over to BOOM! Studios to take on his most high profile project to date. As writer/artist, he produced all four issues of The Muppet Show and of The Muppet Show: The Treasure of Peg Leg Wilson before authoring all 11 issues of The Muppet Show Comic Book that followed in the wake of those 2009 minis. His writing skills then took him back to Marvel for the eight issues of 2010’s Thor the Mighty Avenger after which he returned to BOOM! with another of his creations. While generating the 12 issues of Snarked! Langridge also scripted Marvel’s John Carter A Princess of Mars five-parter in 2011 before joining IDW in 2012 as writer of the 12 issues of Popeye and the four-parter The Rocketeer: Hollywood Horror that followed in 2013. After involvement in three Dynamite one-shots – L’il Ernie, L’il Battlestar Galactica and L’il Sonja – the trail took Langridge back to IDW as the artist on Rocky & Bullwinkle, a 2014 four-parter, which he followed with the four-issue Abigail and the Snowman for BOOM!. He is currently writing King: Mandrake the Magician, a series launched by Dynamite in 2015.

While continuing to work with Pacheco, in 2008 Merino embarked on a return to his roots. He illustrated Action Comics #865 as he sought to establish himself in America as a penciller, which was where his career had started in Spain – between 1996 and 1998 he had drawn three miniseries for Linea Laberinto, an imprint of Planeta De Agostini, the publisher best known for reprinting Marvel comics in Spain.

Baskerville has drastically reduced his comics output since the turn of the century though he followed some contributions to 2000 AD with a 2012 return to Hasbro’s Robots in Disguise, reuniting with Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman for IDW’s Transformers: Regeneration One, which he followed by inking The Transformers: Drift – Empire of Stone, an IDW 2014 four-parter.

The strip was originally serialised in Warrior between 1982 and 1984 before being concluded at DC in 1989. That was almost 15 years after the artist got his break drawing a story for The Magician Annual 1975 although that proved to be a false start – it was another three years before his career took off.

Come 1979 he was given his first regular assignment –drawing Night Raven (a strip he co-created) – in Hulk Weekly although he moved on to a regular slot in Doctor Who Weekly later that same year.

While illustrating the ongoing Weapon Zero, he was also a significant contributor to Devil’s Reign, working on the Ballistic/Wolverine, Witchblade/Elektra and Silver Surfer/Weapon Zero chapters of the 1997 Marvel/Top Cow crossover. Wrapping up on the Weapon Zero monthly the artist remained with Top Cow to illustrate 18 issues of The Darkness and then 2000’s Magdalena three-parter following which he played a major role in both issues of the Overkill: Witchblade/Aliens/Darkness/Predator crossover. Increasingly in demand as a cover artist, Benitez produced no further story art until 2003 when he was heavily involved with two one-shots: The Magdalena/Vampirella and Witchblade: Nottingham. His first major non-Top Cow project followed in 2005 when he co-wrote and drew the six issues of Wraithborn for WildStorm, which had been acquired by DC in 1999. Work on a variety of DC superhero titles followed although he was also producing covers for an increasing number of publishers; Aspen, Zenescope, IDW, Dynamite and Extreme Studios (another Image imprint) as well as DC among them.

  15. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Mike Collins Attending: Saturday and Sunday Artist: Doctor Who; 2000 AD; Darkstars ACROSS a career that dates back to 1983, Mike Collins has pretty much drawn all the major superheroes for DC as well as quite a few for Marvel. The co-creator of Gambit (introduced in 1990’s Uncanny X-Men #266) made his professional debut illustrating a four-pager written by the soon-to-be-a-comicbook legend Alan Moore published by Marvel UK in The Daredevils #8. Soon in demand as both a penciller and an inker, Collins contributed to various other titles – notably Transformers – for the House of Ideas’ British arm before adding 2000 AD to his growing CV. His first US work was for Eclipse where he drew strips for issues of Laser Eraser and Pressbutton in 1986. The following year he was hired by DC to draw New Teen Titans Annual #3, the first of a number of one-off assignments he fulfilled alongside his continuing work for various British comics, among them Doctor Who Magazine, a title with which he has remained closely associated ever since. In 1992 Collins launched Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt, writing and drawing all 12 of its issues before moving on to pencil all but one of the final 21 issues of another DC comic, Darkstars. Come early 1998, the artist was involved with two new series: Star Trek: Untold Voyages (aborted after just five issues) and Babylon 5: In Valen’s Name, a three-parter on which he collaborated with J Michael Straczynski, creator of the television series. While much of his focus since the millennium has been outside the comics field, Collins – who has recently produced storyboards for BBC-TV’s Doctor Who series – continues to contribute to Doctor Who and 2000 AD as well as to its companion title, Judge Dredd Megazine.
  16. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Andrew Wildman Attending: Friday, Saturday and Sunday Artist: Transformers; 2000 AD; Felicia Hardy: The Black Cat; G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero Like so many other British artists of his generation, Andrew Wildman began his professional career in the pages of 2000 AD; in 1987’s Prog 539. Within a year he’d migrated to Marvel UK where he contributed to such titles as Real Ghostbusters, Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, Incredible Hulk Presents and Slimer but it was on Transformers that he was to really make his mark. His initial three-year association with the comicbook adventures of Hasbro’s Robots in Disguise continued until 1992 and included a run on the US version of the title. Transformers subsequently became a constant thread throughout his career. He reunited with acclaimed Transformers writer Simon Furman for Transformers: Regeneration, a 2012 IDW series that continued and wrapped up the story left unfinished when Marvel (US) cancelled its Transformers comic in 1991. It concluded in 2014. Wildman includes Felicia Hardy: The Black Cat, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, Mission: Impossible, Venom: Carnage Unleashed and X-Men Adventures among his many credits. The artist, who made his US debut in 1989 with G.I. Joe European Missions #10, is the founder of Draw the World Together, a charity that raises funds to benefit street children around the world and create healthcare and education possibilities. Frontier, a strip he drew in 2009 for the now-defunct DFC was collected in a hardcover edition subtitled Dealing with Demons by Print Media Productions in 2012.

  21. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Tim Seeley Writer/artist: Hack/Slash Attending: Saturday and Sunday ALTHOUGH it was Hack/Slash that really established Tim Seeley's name, he had been working in comics for three years before Devil's Due launched what was to become his signature series in 2004. Starting out in 2000 drawing the three issues of Dead Dog's Hellions he swapped talents to write From Heaven to Hell – another Dead Dog three-parter – the following year although he sandwiched art for three issues of Avatar's Threshold anthology in between. Originally a children's book illustrator, Seeley was subsequently hired by Devil's Due for which he wrote and drew 2002's Lovebunny & Mr Hell – a one-shot starring characters he introduced in From Heaven to Hell #1 – and pencilled Kore, a 2003 five-parter that he co-created. However, it was when he took over as regular artist on G.I. Joe that his career began gaining traction. He worked on all but one of the issues between #23 and 43, when the title was cancelled. During his eight years at Devil's Due Seeley revealed a high level of productivity, producing numerous covers while writing or drawing not just fill ins and one-shots but also such titles as G.I. Joe vs Transformers II and III, three Forgotten Realms minis, DemonWars: The Demon Wakes, The Toxic Avenger and Other Tromatic Tales and Halloween: Nightdance as well as Jason: Quest for the Golden Fleece, a 2007 graphic novel for Graphic Universe. This was all on top of a stream of Hack/Slash comics – leading to the launch of an ongoing series in 2007 – and the introduction of Loaded Bible, another new concept that ran as a sporadically published trio of one-shots, the first being 2006's Jesus vs Vampires. By 2009 Devil's Due was facing financial difficulties and Seeley spread his wings. He pencilled a five-issue run on New Exiles for Marvel and a 10-issue run on WildCats for DC's WildStorm imprint, co-wrote BOOM! Studios' adaptation of 2009’s Jennifer's Body movie. In addition he co-wrote Dark Horse's The Occultist one-shot (as well as its three-part sequel in 2011), authored Colt Noble and the Megalords – a one-shot in which he introduced another creation – for Image, for which he had already co-written a trio of Radiskull & Devil Doll one-shots back in 2002-3. In 2010, following Devil's Due's exit from comics publishing, Seeley illustrated Dean Koontz's Frankenstein: Prodigal Son five-parter for Dynamite while simultaneously relaunching his signature series at Image, where he has produced a continuing flurry of Hack/Slash titles. Although he pencilled as well as wrote Marvel’s three-part Ant-Man & Wasp, 2011 saw him concentrating ever more on his writing, embarking on a 19-issue run on Image/Top Cow's ​Witchblade. Seeley then added eight 2012 issues of Bloodstrike for Image’s Extreme Studios division, replaced them by scripting a three-chapter Occultist serial for Dark Horse Presents and followed that by launching Revival – a title he continues to author – at Image while also co-writing and drawing Dark Horse’s five-issue Ex Sanguine. The following year he spearheaded Fifth World Studios’ programme of six Mini Comics Included one-shots and returned to The Occultist to script a five-issue mini for Dark Horse for which he also co-authored a Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z three-parter. Seeley’s earlier work on Bloodstrike aside, superhero comics have been all-but absent from his output (which has been dominated by horror in one form or another) but a change in direction loomed when he wrote a 2013 issue of Batman and Robin for DC. After filling in on another couple of the the publisher’s titles and scripting 2014’s Jake Kraken one-shot for Dark Horse, Seeley was drafted on to Batman Eternal as one of the five-man team writing the year-long weekly series that DC launched in 2014. Since taking on the Bat title, Seeley – who continues to produce a steady stream of covers – has also scripted the six issues of Dark Horse’s Sundowners and Evil Ernie (another six-parter) for Dynamite. On top of that he’s launched two further ongoing series in 2015: Effigy for Vertigo (DC’s mature readers imprint) and Grayson, another Batman spin-off, which he co-authors.

  23. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Mike Collins Attending: Saturday and Sunday Artist: Doctor Who; 2000 AD; Darkstars ACROSS a career that dates back to 1983, Mike Collins has pretty much drawn all the major superheroes for DC as well as quite a few for Marvel. The co-creator of Gambit (introduced in 1990’s Uncanny X-Men #266) made his professional debut illustrating a four-pager written by the soon-to-be-a-comicbook legend Alan Moore published by Marvel UK in The Daredevils #8. Soon in demand as both a penciller and an inker, Collins contributed to various other titles – notably Transformers – for the House of Ideas’ British arm before adding 2000 AD to his growing CV. His first US work was for Eclipse where he drew strips for issues of Laser Eraser and Pressbutton in 1986. The following year he was hired by DC to draw New Teen Titans Annual #3, the first of a number of one-off assignments he fulfilled alongside his continuing work for various British comics, among them Doctor Who Magazine, a title with which he has remained closely associated ever since. In 1992 Collins launched Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt, writing and drawing all 12 of its issues before moving on to pencil all but one of the final 21 issues of another DC comic, Darkstars. Come early 1998, the artist was involved with two new series: Star Trek: Untold Voyages (aborted after just five issues) and Babylon 5: In Valen’s Name, a three-parter on which he collaborated with J Michael Straczynski, creator of the television series. While much of his focus since the millennium has been outside the comics field, Collins – who has recently produced storyboards for BBC-TV’s Doctor Who series – continues to contribute to Doctor Who and 2000 AD as well as to its companion title, Judge Dredd Megazine.
  24. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - John Royle Attending: Friday, Saturday and Sunday Artist: Danger Girl, Stan Lee's Alexa, Spectacular Spider-Man Adventures, Knights of Pendragon SINCE 2012 John Royle has been the regular penciller of IDW's various Danger Girl miniseries. He kicked off with the five-issue Danger Girl/G.I. Joe crossover – a great way to celebrate his two decades in the industry, which began in 1992 with a one-off contribution to Fleetway's Red Dwarf Smegazine . Rapidly he moved on to Marvel Uk and a run on Knights of Pendragon that took him into 1993 when he embarked on a variety of miniseries – Death's Head II and the Origin of Die Cut and Death Metal among them – before The House of Ideas itself came calling. Royle worked for Marvel until 1996, his most high profile project being Wolverine: Evilution (a 1994 one-shot that he drew in collaboration with Mark Texeira). Along the way he found time to illustrate a couple of Rai fill-ins for Valiant as well as work on a number of Malibu's Ultraverse titles, among them Ultraforce , Prime and most notably The Phoenix Resurrection . His next work was for DC, primarily on 1997 issues of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy , but he was only there for a year before outside demands for his talents forced him to retire from comics although only semi-permanently. After a seven-year break he resurfaced at Panini (Marvel UK as was) for which he contributed to multiple issues of Spectacular Spider-Man Adventures over the next seven years while also working on 18 of the first 19 issues of 2004's Marvel Rampage ​ and being a major contributor to Stan Lee's Alexa, a 2005 iBooks one-shot. Then came IDW and Danger Girl.
  25. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Steve Yeowell Attending: Friday, Saturday and Sunday Artist: Zenith; 2000 AD; Skrull Kill Krew MUCH admired for his collaboration on Zenith, 2000 AD's mould-breaking superhero saga with Grant Morrison, artist Steve Yeowell first came in contact with the acclaimed Scots writer virtually at the start of his career. Mere months after making his debut at Harrier Comics in 1986 (on Swiftsure & Conqueror), Yeowell moved to Marvel UK where he teamed up with Morrison for a 10-issue run on Spider-Man and Zoidswhich the artist followed with a handful of issues of Thundercats and Action Force (the British version of G.I. Joe). Then Morrison handpicked him for Zenith, which he drew from 1987 to 1992. In parallel he illustrated other stories for 2000 AD, with which he has remained continuously associated ever since. Yeowell's first US work was a contribution to the 1989 first issue of Open Space, Marvel's SF anthology, with the 67 Seconds graphic novel for the House of Ideas' creator-owned imprint following in 1992. Sandwiched in between was the Morrison-written The New Adventures of Hitler. That ran in Crisis, 2000 AD's politically aware companion title, just months before Yeowell began his 14 years (and counting) association with Judge Dredd Megazine, the prime spin-off from 2000 AD. Two years later he reunited with Morrison for the three-issue Sebastian O for Vertigo's DC's embryonic mature readers imprint for which he also illustrated the first four issues of 1994's Morrison-scripted The Invisibles​. The following year came Skrull Kill Krew, a Marvel five-parter co-authored by Morrison and fellow Scot Mark Millar, with whom the artist had also worked at 2000 AD. Since then Yeowell has been a virtually permanent contributor to the weekly SF anthology and/or the Megazine although he has found time for sporadic returns to the US audience. Primarily his output has been fill-ins, annuals and the like but he did also draw a 2002 Foot Soldiers graphic novel for AiT/Planet Lar and couple more short runs on The Invisibles​.
