We have a ton of announcements to make within the next couple of weeks and we are sorting through lists and going through emails so we can bring all those names to you. For right now though, we will give you just a little taste of things to come. It is our pleasure to add these incredibly talented creators to the HeroesCon Indie Island Guest List! HeroesCon 2011 is shaping up to be our biggest and best show ever!

Rich Barrett is a great guy and a long time customer of the store. Last year’s convention was his first time as a guest and we are happy to welcome him back for a second year.  He is currently working on his graphic novel Nathan Sorry and is posting a page at a time on his website.

Jason Horn is best known for his creator-owned title Ninjasaur which is about a dinosaur who is also a ninja. You can also check out his humor and wit in Gruff which is a sequel to the Three Billy Goats Gruff and, like Ninjasaur, stars anthropomorphic characters. Tim O’Shea recently interviewed Horn over on the Robot 6 blog. It is a great interview and definitely worth your time.

David Mack hails from Athens, GA like a number of our Indie Island guests. You may know him from his mini-comics Wolf City, Otto and Some Things I’ve Dreamed or from his weekly comic in Athens’s Flagpole Magazine. In addition to the comic and illustration work on his website he also showcases some of his ceramics. Check out a few of his tiles here!

Dean Trippe is a writer, artist and colorist, a veritable powerhouse of talent! He is probably best known for his superhero parody strip Butterfly. He is also the founder and editor of Project: Rooftop. He also collaborated with Jason Horn on a story in the award-winning anthology Comic Book Tattoo that features stories inspired by Tori Amos songs.
