Click to see in all of it's Asgardian glory!

Frank Cho rose to popularity with his syndicated newspaper strip Liberty Meadows. Tired of dealing with the stuffy attitudes of the syndicate, Frank took his creation to Image comics where he enjoyed continiued success (of course). Lately Frank has been  illustrating lots of the characters he grew up enjoying for Marvel Comics, including Shanna the She-Devil, Hulk, Mighty Avengers, and most recently, the popular New Ultimates.

Darwyn Cooke first tickled our eyeballs with his fantastic opening sequence for the Batman Beyond animated TV series. His first comic work, Batman: Ego showed that Darwyn was an artist with an innate talent for storytelling. His amazing covers for numerous titles has also shown he has a classic design sense.  The instant classic DC: the New Frontier and his Parker adaptations have solidified Darwyn’s reputation as a master comic creator.

We are happy to welcome our friend Joe Jusko back to HeroesCon this year. Joe’s lush paintings have graced the covers of countless comics books and magazines. Joe’s renditions of Vampirella have made him a favorite of fans of the character. His work has been on our shelves lately on the covers of Wolverine/Hercules from Marvel Comics.

We are very excited to welcome Ryan Sook to his very first Heroes Convention! Ryan was one of the first artists that Mike Mignola trusted with his creation Hellboy. Ryan has since gone on to show his versatility with a very memorable Batman: Black and White story, striking work on X-Factor, Friday the 13th, and The Spectre to name just a few, and his great Kamandi story in the enormous Wednesday Comics from DC.

Billy Tucci is the founder of Crusade Comics where he publishes his creator-owned comic Shi. Billy also wrote and drew the acclaimed Sgt. Rock: The Lost Batallion which featured the retelling of the astounding “last stand” by a small number of trapped US Infantrymen of the 36th Division and their rescue by the American-born Japanese soldiers of the highly decorated 442nd Regimental Combat Team.

But that’s not all!  Buzz, Jamie Cosley, Rob Hunter, Eric Layton, and Tommy Smith have also been added to our guest list today! Whew!
