  1. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Jorge Molina Attending: Saturday and Sunday Artist: A-Force; What If? AvX; Captain America: Man out of Time A 2008 Pilot Season one-shot for Image/Top Cow was the first story credit for Jorge Molina who had started out a year earlier as a colourist who worked on books for Ape Entertainment, Slave Labor Graphics and UDON Entertainment among others. That Urban Myths comic was followed a year later by What If? Secret Wars, a one-off that led to an association with Marvel that continues to this day. Following in swift succession the Mexican artist drew the X-Men: Manifest Destiny – Nightcrawler one-shot, a contribution to the one and only issue of Models, Inc and five issues of Avengers: The Initiative. In 2010 came the World War Hulks: Spider-Man vs Thor two-parter and an issue of Avengers Academy with 2011 bringing the Captain America: Man out of Time five-parter, fill-ins on X-Men Legacy and Uncanny X-Men and a flurry of issues of X-Men. Those took Molina into 2012 during which time he became increasingly in demand as a cover artist although he continued to fill in on such titles as Wolverine and the X-Men and X-Men: Legacy while being a prime contributor to the four issues of 2013's What If? AvX. A contribution to Marvel's X-Men: Gold one-shot and a three-issue run on X-Force came in 2014, which was when the artist also took to producing covers for DC and for Valiant. Then, in 2015, after a single issue of Thor and years of jumping from comic to comic, Molina took on his first regular assignment, becoming series penciller when Marvel launched A-Force.
  2. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Joe Benitez Attending: Saturday & Sunday FIRST UK APPEARANCE 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. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Gary Whitlock Attending: Saturday Writer/artist: The Beano; Aces Weekly TODAY Gary Whitlock is probably identified through his work on David Lloyd’s online anthology Aces Weekly but the former graphic artist for Cleveland Fire Brigade’s Fire Prevention Department has numerous humour comics in his credits. Among them are Gas, Gutter, Zit, Smut, Adroit and Acne while he also created numerous gag cartoons for The Weekly News. Additionally Whitlock, who also drew for The Beano, is the founder of Monkeyhound Publishing through which he has released a variety of his own titles, occasionally under his pen name of Clan Whitlock. His self-published comics so far include Dinotoons, Creatures of the Weirdieverse and Damned Dirty Apes.
  4. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Kyle Hotz Attending: Saturday & Sunday FIRST UK APPEARANCE Artist: Billy the Kid's Old Timey Oddities; The Hood; The Agency; The Remaining ALTHOUGH he started out in 1992 as an inker working on the first two issues of Now Comics' Speed Racer three-parter, Kyle Hotz unveiled his storytelling talents with his very next assignment, drawing contributions to all but the first of the five issues of Slash, a horror anthology published by Northstar for which he also illustrated Cold Blooded (a 1993 three-parter) and its sequel, a one-shot subtitled The Burning Kiss. The following year he contributed to issues #4 and 5 of Anubis Press's The Choke before making his first foray into the world of superhero comics. With that seven-issue run on Night Man for Malibu Comics' Ultraverse line and his first DC work – a contribution to Showcase '94 #9 – under his belt Hotz migrated to Marvel where he drew six issues of Ghost Rider 2099 with Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Annual #4 squeezed in along the way. Then it was back to Ultraverse for the first two issues of Lord Pumpkin/Necromantra and all but the last issue of the Curse of Rune four-parter. After that came Hotz' most high profile project to date – The Night Man vs Wolverine one-shot – with a couple of issues of Rune and contributions to Marvel's Venom Super Special #1 and to Shadowhawks of Legend for Image rounding out 1995. At this point Hotz' unsettling creepy style was driving up demand for him to create covers and pinups. That made his interior work even more sporadic although over the next year or so he illustrated Ultraverse's Rune: Heart of Darkness three-parter and two Carnage one-shots – Mind Bomb and It's a Wonderful Life – and the one-off Spider-Man: The Osborn Journal for Marvel along with the occasional fill-in for the Malibu imprint. In late 1997 he teamed up with Famous Monsters of Filmland's Forrest J Ackerman for Chaos! Monster Matinee. The one-shot celebration of monster movies of the 1930s and '40s was issued by Chaos! Comics for which Hotz would go on to pencil the nine issues of Evil Ernie: Destroyer. That took him into 1999 when he wrote and drew the Mosaic five-parter for Sirius Entertainment before moving back to Marvel for a Black Panther fill-in, 2000's Marvels Comics: Spider-Man one-shot and five issues of Incredible Hulk. Those he followed in 2001 with The Agency, an Image/Top Cow six-parter after which the House of Ideas lured him back for the six issues of The Hood, a 2000 Marvel MAX comic for which Hotz and writer Brian K Vaughan created its titular star (with the artist returning to the character in 2009 for the Dark Reign: The Hood five-parter). Next, after a mere handful of Marvel fill-ins, came 2004's Man-Thing three-parter for Marvel Knights and the Black Panther 2099 one-shot before he joined The Goon creator Eric Powell at Dark Horse for Billy the Kid's Old Timey Oddities, a 2005 four-parter that spawned to two sequels: Billy the Kid's Old Timey Oddities and the Ghastly Fiend of London [2010] and Billy the Kid's Old Timey Oddities and the Orm of Loch Ness [2012]. Marvel came calling again in 2006. After the Punisher: Silent Night one-shot Hotz moved on to Zombie, illustrating that Marvel MAX four-parter at the same time as drawing a five-issue run on Criminal Macabre for Dark Horse. Next came two more Marvel four-parters – Annihilation: Conquest – Wraith and The Zombie: Simon Garth (for the MAX imprint) – which the artist followed with a two-chapter Criminal Macabre serial in Dark Horse's online MySpace Dark Horse Presents and then with 2008's four-issue Epilogue for IDW. Three years later he drew both issues of IDW's Ghostbusters: Infestation before going back to Marvel for an issue of Captain America: Hail Hydra, a fleeting run on Heroes for Hire and the Spider-Island: Heroes for Hire one-shot. Since then his comics work has been confined to covers although he did pencil The Remaining, a graphic novel from Kingstone Comics, in 2014.
  5. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Lee Sullivan Attending: Saturday & Sunday Artist: Transformers, Robocop, Doctor Who STARTING out in 1986 producing covers for Marvel UK's Transformers weekly and shortly thereafter doing the same for Thundercats, Lee Sullivan's first story art came within a year when he became a semi-regular on Transformers. He would subsequently begin contributing to Doctor Who Magazine as well as 2000 AD. He entered the US arena in 1990, launching and drawing virtually every one of the 23 issues of Marvel's Robocop before moving on to to do much the same on Tekworld, the 1994 comic featuring William Shatner's futuristic detective Jake Cardigan. Published by Marvel's Epic imprint, it ran 24 issues between 1992 and 1994. Two years later he illustrated a Doctor Who strip that ran for almost a year in Radio Times, the BBC TV listings magazine with his next comics work coming in 2001, when he became the regular artist on Thunderbirds Magazine, drawing the strips in virtually every one of the Redan monthly's 89 issues until it was cancelled in 2006. Since then he has had a lengthy run on Doctor Who: Battles in Time​ [2006-2009] and produced 2010's graphic novel adaptation of author Jonathan Stroud's The Amulet of Samarkand: Bartimaeus for Hyperion. He is currently drawing Titan's recently launched Rivers of London, a series of miniseries featuring novelist Ben Aaronovitch's Peter Grant – a London police officer who is also an apprentice wizard.
  6. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Tanya Roberts Artist: Star Wars: The Clone Wars SPONSORED BY BLACK HEARTED PRESS BEST-KNOWN for Titan's Star Wars: The Clone Wars comic which she drew from the outset of her professional career in 2009 until the comic was cancelled in 2014, Tanya Roberts has also worked on Toy Story for BOOM! Studios, Ape Entertainment's Strawberry Shortcake for Ape and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for IDW. The Scottish artist, who is currently illustrating How to Train Your Dragon for Titan, also drew the three-issue Plagued: The Miranda Chronicles, launched by Black Hearted Press in 2014. That year she and writer Anthony Jones self-published their Hamster Punk graphic novel
  7. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Reilly Brown Attending: Saturday & Sunday ARTIST: Cable & Deadpool; Deadpool: The Gauntlet; Power Play; Lobo APART from his first work (a six-pager in 2004's Femforce #125 for AC Comics), Reilly Brown has spent virtually his entire professional career at Marvel. Immediately after pencilling a 25-page contribution to 2005's Marvel Holiday Special #1 (his first work for the House of Ideas) he drew issue #28 of Cable & Deadpool, beginning an association with the Merc with a Mouth that persists to this day. With #33 he became the series' regular artist, drawing all but five issues of that comic until it was cancelled in 2008 with #50. Over the next three years he began producing an ever-increasing number of covers and pin-ups. Even so he illustrated 2009's Marvel Apes: Amazing Spider-Monkey Special and worked on stories for a variety of titles, among them 2008's Hulk vs Hercules: When Titans Collide one-shot, Marvel Apes: Grunt Line Special #1 (and only), War of Kings: Savage World of Skaar one-off and the two-part Hercules: Fall of an Avenger as well as illustrating five issues of New Warriors and of Incredible Hercules. After that came his involvement in the Heroic Age: Prince of Power five-parter, the first issue of Chaos War, two issues of Spider-Man: Big Time, four of Amazing Spider-Man and two of Ultimate Comics X-Men as well as 2011's Spider-Man: You're Hired one-shot. In 2011 he also self-published Power Play, a five-parter that he co-created. Late in 2012 he illustrated an issue of Avengers vs X-Men: Infinite and a three-issue run on Scarlet Spider before being reunited with the Merc with a Mouth, drawing the Hawkeye/Deadpool battle in 2013's A+X #8. By that point Brown was also producing covers for various BOOM! Studios comics but his first non-Marvel storytelling assignment was a four-parter for Dark Horse Presents, Dark Horse's flagship anthology. That serial took him into 2014 at which point he embarked on the 13-part Deadpool: The Gauntlet Infinite Comic which he followed immediately with the seven issues of Deadpool: Dracula's Gauntlet. Rounding out 2014 came the first five issues of Lobo, which marked the artist's debut at DC. Brown has just began drawing another Merc with the Mouth project. Available now online as a Marvel Infinite Comic, Deadpool & Cable – Split Second will get a print release in December.
  8. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Ian Churchill Attending: Saturday & Sunday Writer/artist: Cable; Marineman; Revenge; Supergirl; The Coven "OVERNIGHT sensation" is often a misnomer but not in Ian Churchill's case. From the outset the British artist was making waves in comicdom. Hired by Marvel in 1993 he worked on a variety of the House of Ideas' high-profile and top-selling X-comics before being assigned as the regular penciller on Cable two years later. At the same time as drawing 15 issues of that X-Force spinoff between #20 and 39, he also began producing a steady stream of covers and pinups. In 1997 he left Cable and, after a brief flirtation with Avengers moved to Awesome Entertainment for which he and writer Jeph Loeb co-created The Coven. After two miniseries and three one-shots, the Cable collaborators moved on to Lionheart (a 1999 series that Churchill co-wrote) but only managed two issues before Awesome collapsed. Over the next six years he concentrated on covers working for both DC and Marvel. He also illustrated fill-ins for the two comicbook publishing giants, a significant proportion of them again being X-titles for the House of Ideas and Superman-related comics for DC. Then, in 2005, he and Loeb relaunched Supergirl for DC with the artist pencilling all but three of the first 15 issues. His next major assignment – again for DC – was Titans but after drawing the preceding Titans East Special and the 2008 first issue of the series itself he was forced to the sidelines by an injury that kept him out of the spotlight for almost two years. In late 2009 he resurfaced at Marvel drawing a five-issue run on Hulk in a completely new style. The creator-owned Marineman came next. Written and drawn by Churchill, the 2010 Image six-parter was followed in 2012 by The Ravagers, a DC series for which he pencilled the initial seven issues. After that he moved back to Image for another creator-owned comic, 2014's Revenge, a four-parter written by British TV personality Jonathan Ross. Churchill remains in demand for his covers while his next major project is eagerly awaited by his any fans.
  9. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Jeremy Haun Attending: Saturday & Sunday Artist: Batwoman; Constantine; Wolf Moon; The Darkness SINCE 2002 when he and writer Matthew Cashel self-published a single issue of Paradigm under their Two Irish Guys Press label, artist Jeremy Haun has been building a solid reputation for himself. Following release of Paradigm #1, Image took on the comic, publishing 12 issues of the title between 2002 and 2003. The artist then went on to draw two five-parter virtually simultaneously: 2004’s Desperadoes: Banners of Gold for IDW and the following year’s Battle Hymn for Image. Rounding out 2005 with the first two issues of IDW’s Masters of Horror, Haun moved on to the six issues of Oni Press’s The Leading Man and then to Marvel, where he drew Iron Man/Captain America: Casualties of War (a 2007 one-shot) and contributed to Civil War: Casualties of War with art for four issues of New Excalibur and a contribution to The Toxic Avenger and other Tromatic Tales (a Devil’s Due anthology) sandwiched in between. Come 2008 he was working for DC, where he contributed to its Countdown Presents: The Search for Ray Palmer – Superwoman/Batwoman one-shot to and its Two-Face: Year One two-parter as well as drawing the six issues of its WildStorm imprints Chuck. He also illustrated Pilot Season: Alibi for Image/Top Cow and drew a story for Image’s Comic Book Tattoo anthology. Then came Berserker, a 2009 six-parter from Image/Top Cow that he drew while also working on DC’s Batman: Battle for the Cowl – Arkham Asylum as well as a fill-in on The Outsiders, seven issues of Batman: Streets of Gotham and the three-part Arkham Reborn. At that point Haun’s days as an itinerant pencil for hire were all but over. Settling down first at DC, he illustrated two issues of Detective Comics, a Gotham City Sirens fill-in and the last four issues of 2020’s Red Hood: Lost Days six-parter. After that came a five-issue run on Artifacts and a 15-issue run on The Darkness, both for Image/Top Cow before a return to DC for single issues of Batman, Batman and Robin and Red Hood and the Outlaws prior to a 2014 run of nine issues on Batwoman. A six-issue run on Constantine took the artist into 2015 after which he illustrated the six-issue Wolf Moon for Vertigo, DC’s mature readers imprint. Most recently Haun launched The Beauty, an Image miniseries taking off from the Pilot Season: The Beauty one-shot he and co-writer Jason Hurley produced for Image/Top Cow in 2011.

  14. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Jeff Johnson Attending: Saturday & Sunday Artist: Wonder Man; The Way of the Rat ​ALTHOUGH these days he spends much of his time working in animation, Jeff Johnson began his artistic career in 1991 by pencilling a 10-page contribution to issue #10 of Stalkers for Marvel's creator-owned Epic imprint. His next assignment made him an instant hit with fans. Hired to launch Wonder Man for the House of Ideas itself, he illustrated 20 of the 1991 series' first 25 issues by which time he had become involved with cartoons with his initial credits coming on 1992's Ferngully: The Last Rainforest and Tom and Jerry: The Movie​​. From Wonder Man, Johnson migrated to Malibu Comics, where he illustrated six of the first seven issues of 1993's Solitaire while also expanding his animation CV with work on such films as Thumbelina and Asterix conquers America. Post Solitaire and until 1999, the artist's comics work was primarily limited to covers, pin-ups and the occasional fill-in although he did pencil a trio of three-parters during that period: 1994's The Legend of Supreme for Extreme Studios (artist Rob Liefeld's Image imprint), DC's Justice League: A Midsummer's Nightmare two years later and Fantastic Four: Fireworks for Marvel in 1999. Although his animation work was increasing (he was involved in Hercules and Tarzan among others), in 2000 Johnson drew 11 issues of Detective Comics following which he joined CrossGen to launch The Way of the Rat, drawing 15 of the 2002 title's first 18 issues. Since then, with animation demanding an increasing amount of his time, the artist's comic work has again been limited to covers, pin-ups and the occasional fill-in although he did provide spot and full-page illustrations for the seven issues of IDW Publishing Scriptbooks: Angel in 2006 and seven years later draw a Legion of Super-Heroes three-parter for DC. His latest major project has been Famous Monsters Presents: Bornhome, a four-parter launched in 2015 as the second title from American Gothic Press, Famous Monsters of Filmland's embryonic comic imprint. In recent years Johnson's screen credits have included such comics-related projects as Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse and All-Star Superman. He has also worked on Curious George, Transformers Prime and The Simpsons among others.

His first US work was for Eclipse where he drew strips for issues of Laser Eraser and Pressbutton in 1986.

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: the five-part Star Trek: Untold 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.

When he resurfaced it was at Marvel, where his first work was a 2008 Nova cover and a fill-in on an issue of Dark X-Men: The Beginning.

His first outing was, however, not a happy one... his debut on Flashpoint​ never saw the light of day; the publisher Majestic Entertainment collapsed before the comic was printed. The following year he produced fill-ins for DC's Green Lantern and for Kobalt, released on DC's Milestone imprint although – apart from a contribution to 1995's Vampirella Pin-Up Special​ – it was another two years before his next work appeared.

After that Igle elected to work primarily on fill-ins and one-offs with his art appearing in everything from Impulse, Iron Man and Noble Causes to DC First: Green Lantern/Green Lantern, Supergirl and G.I. Joe as well as an issue of Perry Rhodan for the German publisher Pabel-Moewig Verlag KG over the next five years.

After drawing KISS #1 and 2 for IDW and a short Smallville run for DC, he moved to Action Lab Comics, which published his Molly Danger​ graphic novel in 2013.

  23. Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Gary Erskine Attending: Saturday and Sunday Artist: Dan Dare; Thunderbolts; Knights of Pendragon LIKE so many others looking to establish themselves professionally in comics, Gary Erskine practiced his craft in fanzines before being hired by Marvel UK. His career began quietly (with a cover for Marvel UK's Transformers #251) but within months of that 1990 debut, the young Scots artist was hired by the House of Ideas' British arm to be the regular artist on Knights of Pendragon. He pencilled all but one of the title's first 18 issues before moving on to the first two issues of 1992's Warheads via contributions to Crisis, the politically aware sister title of 2000 AD for which he had also taken to working. America came calling in 1993 when Erskine was offered the Wolverine and the Punisher: Damaging Evidence three-parter by Marvel. This he followed by illustrating issues of Firearm later Code Name: Firearm for Malibu's Ultraverse imprint and Blaze for Marvel and then two four-parters – Malibu's Terminator movie tie-in T2: Nuclear Twilight and The Mask: World Tour for Dark Horse – with a 1996 return to 2000 AD sandwiched in between. From 1997 to 2000 Erskine drew issues of Dark Horse's Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron and Vermillion for Helix (DC's short-lived SF imprint) as well as two Dark Horse four-parters – Hypersonic and Out for Blood – and the three-issue City of Silence for Image. After that he elected to pretty much drop his pencilling work in favour of inking Chris Weston's pencils on a couple of DC/Vertigo projects. War Stories: Johann's Tiger (a 2001 one-shot) was followed by the 13 issues of 2002's The Filth​ although Erskine did fully illustrate Archangel – a 2003 War Stories one-off – during that run. Over the next four years he inked two 2004 six-parters (Avengers/Thunderbolts for Marvel and DC's JSA: Strange Adventures) as well as such other projects as 26 issues of New Thunderbolts (retitled Thunderbolts in 2006) and the four issues of 2007's Thunderbolts Presents: Zemo – Born Better. During that same period he also pencilled and inked 2005's Jack Cross four-parter for DC and reunited with Weston to ink Marvel's 2006 six-parter, Fantastic Four: First Family after which he returned to Vertigo to ink all 18 issues of 2007's Army @ Love alongside Virgin Comics' seven-issue Dan Dare, a 2007 resurrection of Britain's quintessential 1950s SF icon that he fully illustrated. Between 2010 and 2013 he spent much time at IDW, primarily inking G.I. Joe and G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero although he also illustrated the two issues of 2011's Star Trek: Infestation. On top of that he inked the 28 issues of 2012's Crossed: Wish You were Here for Avatar before moving back to Marvel in 2013 to provide finishes on the Ultimate Comics Wolverine four-parter. Since parting company with IDW, Erskine's inks have turned up on a variety of titles, chief among them the first four issues of 2014's Dead Boy Detectives for Vertigo. His most recent major project is Revolutionary War: Warheads​, a 2014 one-shot that he pencilled and inked for Marvel.
