Syracuse’s Salt City Comic-Con has added Tom Peyer to their impressive 2017 featured guest roster.

Tom Peyer is a writer and editor who has worked on nearly every major character in comics. His better known stories include Hourman, Legion of Super-Heroes, and Batman ’66 for DC Comics, Spider-Man, Marvel Apes and Punisher for Marvel Comics and The Simpsons and Bart Simpson for Bongo Comics.

Peyer was also a founding editor of DC’s groundbreaking Vertigo imprint.

More recently, Peyer’s 2016-2017 AfterShock Comics series Captain Kid, written with Mark Waid, featured a unique spin on a standard super-hero trope: a middle-aged man who becomes a teen-age super-hero.  Peyer is now part of a group that is developing a new line of comics to be announced later this year.

As a creative “hometown hero”, Peyer was born in Syracuse and lives there still.

Syracuse’s Salt City Comic-Con, celebrating its fourth year, moves to the Oncenter’s War Memorial building in downtown Syracuse this year during June 24^th and 25^th.  This pop-culture convention focuses on comics, toys, games, cosplay and collectibles. Pre-sale tickets are available.

Tom Peyer will be appearing the convention both Saturday and Sunday.
