We here at Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find couldn’t wait to let you know who is coming to HeroesCon 2011 so we are updating our guest list one more time this week! There isn’t much I can say about these creators that hasn’t already been said before. They are the cream of the crop, the best of the best and their reputations precede them so I will keep their bios short and sweet.

Guy Davis first made a name for himself with his work on his creator-owned Baker Street. He continued to solidify his place in the industry with his work on Sandman Mystery Theatre and The Marquis, but he is probably best known as artist on BPRD.

Todd Dezago is renowned for his work with Mike Wieringo on The Sensational Spider-Man and Tellos. Currently, he is pleasing audiences with Marvel Super Hero Squad and The Perhapanauts.

Steve Epting continues to astound and amaze, especially with his current work on Fantastic Four. His career spans nearly 20 years and he has worked on some of the best books around including Avengers, Captain America and The Marvels Project.

Just when you think that Matt Fraction’s name can’t get any bigger he goes out and writes Thor. He first came into prominence with  Casanova, which is currently being re-colored, re-lettered and reprinted through Marvel’s creator owned imprint, Icon. He is also writing Invincible Iron Man and Uncanny X-Men. Fraction was just announced as the winner of the 2010 PEN USA Literary Award for Graphic Literature. To top it all off, he is a former employee of Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find!

Jonathan Hickman first broke into comics only a few years ago with Nightly News but quickly established himself as a premiere wordsmith by writing such acclaimed books as SHIELD, Secret Warriors, Fantastic Four and Pax Romana. With an already impressive catalog, I can’t wait to see what else he has in store for us.

Mike Mignola got his start on superhero books like Cosmic Odyssey and Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, but Hellboy is where his art and writing style found a home. He will soon return to doing art on Hellboy after the current epic storyline is completed. He is also currently writing Baltimore: The Plague Ships which is a mini-series based off of characters in his novel Baltimore.

Don Rosa is THE Uncle Scrooge artist (next to Carl Barks of course). His humor comes through as he breathes life into the character. Uncle Scrooge is over sixty years old yet when you read a story by Rosa the character feels fresh and new. His stories are classic and timeless.

Craig Rousseau is the co-creator and artist of The Perhapanauts, along with previously announced Todd Dezago. He has also worked with Dezago on Impulse and Tellos. His recent work includes Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane, Iron Man & The Armor Wars and Her-oes.

Richard Thompson writes Cul de Sac which is one of my favorite comic strips. I am not alone in saying that it rivals Calvin & Hobbes in quality. Simply put, it chronicles the foibles of a suburban family. He also does Richard’s Poor Almanac which appears in the Washington Post.

Bernie Wrightson began his career working on horror anthologies like House of Mystery and House of Secrets and he has continued scaring readers with his distinct style. Some of his past work includes co-creating Swamp Thing with Len Wein and illustrating Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. More recently he has been teaming up with Steve Niles on such popular titles as Dead She Said and The Ghoul.

Quite frankly if these were the only guests coming to HeroesCon 2011 I would be thrilled to be there and meet these incredibly talented creators. With eight more months to go and already a guest list is this huge, I can’t wait to see what other tricks we have up our sleeves!
