The Baltimore Comic-Con has announced comics guests Steve Conley, Bo Hampton, Sandy Jarrell, Jae Lee, Ethan Sacks, and Zoe Thorogood to our 25th Anniversary event! Find details at their website as well as ticketing information and more!
Long-time friend of the show, Ringo, Harvey, and Eisner Award nominee, and guest since our inception in 2000 (!), artist and writer Steve Conley has contributed to numerous comic titles, both printed and on-line. His Astounding Space Thrills was self-published, published by Image Comics, and collected as a trade paperback by IDW. He has been featured in titles such as JLA-Z from DC Comics, Star Trek: Year Four from IDW, and Michael Chabon’s Amazing Adventures of the Escapist from Dark Horse Comics. His self-published Bloop is available through his online store in print or soft copy editions, and you can find his Ringo and Eisner Award-nominated webcomic The Middle Age on his website, tapas.io, Line Webtoon, and GoComics, and hard copies and digital collections can be purchased from his online store.
A 30-year comics vet, Bo Hampton is known for Batman: Castle of the Bat, Moon Knight, Swamp Thing, Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Riven, Batman: The Animated Adventures, 3 Devils, Demons of Sherwood, Verdilak, and much, much more. He was a former assistant to Will Eisner and Al Williamson, as well.
Sandy Jarrell got his start working with Jeff Parker on the creator-owned Meteor Men (Oni Press), and has continued drawing for DC Comics (Batman ‘66, Bombshells, Teen Titans Go!, Black Canary), Dark Horse (Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology), Image (Scrapper), Archie (Archie and Sabrina, Reggie and Me), and more. His work can also be found in author Alex Segura’s novels Secret Identity and Alter Ego (Flatiron Books) and their comics spin-off The Legendary Lynx.
He lives in North Carolina with his wife, two kids, and two dogs.
Jae Lee is a Korean-American comic book artist, known for his dark style. In 1990, he became one of the youngest artists ever to work for a major publisher. He is an Eisner Award winner for his work on Marvel’s The Inhumans. His art can also be seen in Stephen King’s Dark Tower, Before Watchmen: Ozymandias, and Batman/Superman. Most recently, he returned to Image Comics and released a creator-owned book titled Seven Sons.

Ethan Sacks is best known in comics as the writer of Marvel’s Old Man Hawkeye, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and Star Wars: Bounty Hunters. Most recently, he teamed up with his daughter, Naomi, and artist Marco Lorenzana for the acclaimed Image Comics/Syzygy Publishing series, A Haunted Girl. He also wrote the award-winning nonfiction comics COVID Chronicles and Climate Crisis Chronicles for AWA Studios, as well as several stories for DC Comics. Before comics, he was a 20-year veteran at the New York Daily News, covering film and geek culture. He also contributes occasionally to NBC News.
Zoe Thorogood is a comic creator and concept artist from the UK. She debuted in 2020 with The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott, which was both written and drawn by Zoe and published by Avery Hill. Billie Scott received an unprecedentedly positive reception for a first-time cartoonist and quickly established Zoe as an industry mainstay. In the subsequent years, she illustrated Haha and Joe Hill’s Rain at Image Comics. This led into another auteur production with the publisher, It’s Lonely at the Centre of the Earth, a groundbreaking autobiography released in late 2023. Lonely again garnered major critical and commercial success for Thorogood, earning her six Eisner Award nominations and winning her the Russ Manning Newcomer Award at San Diego Comic Con. She also took home the Best Original Graphic Novel Ringo Award later in the year. Most recently, Thorogood continued to collaborate with Image on Creepshow and Hack/Slash: Back to School. She has also written the Life is Strange: Forget-Me-Not miniseries at Titan Comics. In her (very limited) free time, Zoe enjoys playing video games and being incredibly powerful.

Yen Press has announced the English-language release of Dark Souls: Redemption, an original manga series based on the hit video game series DARK SOULS. Since its release in 2011, Dark Souls has grown to be one of the most popular and iconic franchises around the world. Dark Souls: Redemption is an official manga spin-off taking place in the beloved world of the video game series, one that is an original creation by French publisher Mana Books, a subsidiary of AC Media. This exciting manga release is sure to please a devoted fan base that yearns to return to the fantasy world of Dark Souls, even over a decade after the game’s initial release.
Dark Souls: Redemption is written by Julien Blondel with art by Shonen.
Doomed by a past long forgotten, resolved to save what she once held dear.
The flame is lit. A nameless woman wakes. Roused from the tomb by a past she cannot recall, she sets out into a barren, unfamiliar landscape. The protector follows. Bound by oath and honor, he safeguards her against the dangers that draw near with the same ferocity he does the secrets of his past. The Gray Cinders gather in their tower, called by the fire to complete their solemn duty. A colossus, incarnate of death, stirs with the bones beneath the scarred grounds. And a nightmare—scourge of a bygone era—returns to exact its toll. The fate of this land hangs in the balance, as their journey unfolds in this original Dark Souls story!
Dark Souls: Redemption is set for an August 2024 release in both print and digital.
Since legendary artist Greg Capullo returned to Marvel Comics last year with incredible variant covers, fans have eagerly awaited the announcement for what his first series project would be! Earlier this month, they got their answer with the reveal of Wolverine: Revenge, a five-part limited series launching in August. Capullo will team up with visionary writer Jonathan Hickman to put Wolverine through the most brutal adventure of his life just in time for the character’s 50th anniversary. The series will also be available as Red Band Editions, bloodier and more violent than ever and polybagged for the protection of innocent eyes! To mark this monumental launch, best-selling cover artist extraordinaire Stanley “Artgerm” Lau has drawn a stunning variant cover. Artgerm’s breathtaking depiction of Logan will also be available as virgin variant cover.
Wolverine: Revenge will be five issues of pure, unadulterated Wolverine action as Capullo and Hickman pit Wolverine against a cadre of foes who will turn his world upside down, including Sabretooth, Omega Red, Deadpool, and more. He’s been beaten! He’s been bloodied! And Logan only has one thought on his mind: REVENGE!
Check out Artgerm’s cover and preorder what promises to be a defining tale in Wovlerine’s storied legend at your local comic shop today!
Standards Manual and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products have formally announced the official and long-awaited reissue of the 1982 DC Comics Style Guide, reproduced from a rare original copy as a high-quality 1:1 hardcover book, featuring the legendary art of José Luis García-López.
In 1982, Spanish-Argentine artist José Luis García-López was hired to create the key art for an ambitious project: a total standardization of DC’s Super Heroes look. The resulting 3-ring-binder filled with rules, color swatches, character profiles, and hundreds of pages of stunning art was in itself a showcase of García-López’s artistic talent, collaborating with legendary inker Dick Giordano. But it served a very practical purpose, as it was intended to create artwork for products and packaging of DC’s wide range of licensed products and promotions. Most earlier DC licensed products or ads picked up images from the comics, without any additional payment to the talent—led by president Jenette Kahn, the team updated that policy so that most licensees had to use artwork created specifically for that purpose, either in the Style Guides or newly drawn.
The model sheets in the 1982 DC Comics Style Guide became the standard reference for DC license holders working on DC releases for decades and, thanks to García-López’s timeless character work, has continued to deeply influence many DC artists and fans to this day.
Over the years new pages were added to the Style Guide and new DC Style Guides were issued to keep it current, but as franchises moved on and updated looks eventually took over, the original Style Guide was no longer needed (and in most cases, likely disposed of). The copy held by Standards Manual is a rare collector’s item and unavailable to wide-audiences beyond low resolution, poorly reproduced, and often watermarked images online. The reissue is based on the original copy held by Standards Manual, containing an amalgam of page versions—presumably added by the owners of this original from ’82 to ’85.
There’s a nostalgia element, too. Many comic fans today grew up with García-López’s depictions of Batman, Superman, and more on products and advertisements. In the hearts and minds of many, García-López’s art is synonymous with DC of yore, and thus carries with it a deep nostalgia linked to childhood and growing up with their favorite characters.
To date, the 1982 DC Comics Style Guide has never been made available to the public in print, so with the faithful reproduction work by the team at Standards Manual who pioneered the republishing of legacy graphic manuals, fans will finally be able to experience this legendary art as close as possible to the original format. This reissue also intends to highlight the team behind this great artistic endeavor, including Joe Orlando, Neal Pozner, Mary Yedlin, Paul Levitz, and many others.
The book will be available for pre-order at an early-access price of $90 and will begin shipping August 31, 2024. The book will be available for consumers and retailers from Standards Manual at www.standardsmanual.com/dc, and widely available at comic stores, bookstores, and the Official DC Shop in North America through Lunar Distribution.
