Posted on by

Get yourself to the 2026 Baltimore Comic-Con this September 25-27 at the Inner Harbor’s Baltimore Convention Center. Baltimore Comic-Con welcomes Marty Baumann, Trish Forstner, Jamal Igle, Mike McKone, Al Milgrom, and Rich Woodall as guests of the 2026 event! Find your tickets online now!

Marty Baumann is an illustrator, graphic artist, and production designer. He has contributed to some of the most popular, Oscar-winning animated films of all time. Marty has worked as an artist at Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios as an illustrator, graphic artist, and production designer on such films as Toy Story 3, Big Hero 6, Zootopia, Cars 2, Planes, Wreck-It Ralph 2, and many others. He also helped develop theme park installations, toy packaging, and Pixar corporate branding. Marty has rendered illustrations and developed characters for toy manufacturers, magazines, and newspapers, and illustrated children’s books, created logos, info-graphics, broadcast promotions, and presentation art for Hasbro, Universal Studios, National Geographic, Scholastic Books, Nickelodeon, and many others. Recent projects include his role as concept artist for the new Mystery Science Theater 3000 and the visual development of Sir Paul McCartney’s feature film, High in the Clouds.

Trish Forstner is an Eisner and Ringo Award-nominated cartoonist from Baltimore, Maryland. She brings a lifetime of experience creating fun, lovable, and believable characters. She’s been drawing since she could hold a pencil. Trish loves classic animation and has drawn influence from many sources, particularly classic 80s and 90s toons. Her style has been compared to Don Bluth, Walt Disney, and Warner Bros., but she likes to think she’s found a way to separate herself from those comparisons while still drawing inspiration from them. Her love of expression and emotion is on full display in any work she creates. You’ve most recently seen her work in Image Comics’ ongoing scary “cat-pocalypse” series Feral and in the Eisner Award-nominated Stray Dogs. She is also an amazing cover artist for Dynamite’s Disney comics, from Darkwing Duck to Zootopia! From her beginnings as an artist for My Little Pony all the way to award nominated co-creator of Stray Dogs and Feral and everything in-between, Trish is sure to draw something you’ll love!

Jamal Igle is the recipient of the 2011 Inkpot Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comic Art. He is writer/artist/creator of Molly Danger for Action Lab Entertainment, the co-creator of Venture with Dynamo 5 creator/writer Jay Faerber, and the penciller/co-creator of The Wrong Earth with writer and Editor in Chief, Tom Peyer for AHOY Comics. Jamal is a comic industry veteran whose detailed pencils have graced books as varied as The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, the all-ages action miniseries Race Against Time, as well as mainstream hits such as G.I. Joe, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Green Lantern. Jamal has served as the series artist for popular runs on Firestorm the Nuclear Man, Nightwing, Tangent: Superman’s Reign, Superman, Supergirl, and Zatanna for DC Comics, Noble Causes for Image Comics, and a four-issue run on New Warriors for Marvel Comics.

Jamal recently completed the sequel to the hit series Black called White from Black Superpowers/Black Mask Studios, and The Wrong Earth: Night and Day, The Mysterious Micro-Face for NPR Planet Money, and Milestones in History for DC Comics. Jamal also worked with legendary Batman writer Scott Snyder on his new creator-owned series, Dudley Datson and the Forever Machine for Comixology.

Currently, Jamal is hard at work on the newest volume of The Wrong Earth as well as helping shape the next generation of comics creators at The School of Visual Arts in New York City.

Frank Cho, Tula Lotay, Al Milgrom, Joseph Schmalke, Mark Sparacio, and Billy Tucci are coming to Baltimore Comic Con

Posted on by

This year’s Baltimore Comic-Con takes place on October 17-19, 2025 at the Inner Harbor’s Baltimore Convention Center. The Baltimore Comic-Con has announced guests Frank Cho, Tula Lotay, Al Milgrom, Joseph Schmalke, Mark Sparacio, and Billy Tucci to this year’s event. Tickets are now available!

Ringo Award winner and Harvey and Eisner Award nominee Frank Cho launched his career as a comic strip artist at the University of Maryland-College Park student newspaper, penning University2, which was the predecessor of his creator-owned syndicated strip and comic series, Liberty Meadows. His body of work also includes Marvel Comics’ New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, Shanna the She-Devil, New Ultimates, and X-Men: Schism, as well as Jungle Girl for Dynamite Entertainment. His recent work can be seen on covers from DC’s Harley Quinn.

Tula Lotay is the pen name of illustrator Lisa Wood. Born and raised in Yorkshire, England, Tula specializes in comics, film and editorial illustration, as well as being the founder and former director of the world-renowned Thought Bubble Festival.

Tula is best known for her interior work on Bodies, All-Star Batman, Supreme Blue Rose, and Scarlet Witch. She is also a prolific and accomplished cover artist, working regularly for Marvel, DC, Image, and BOOM! Studios, along with being a regular contributor on the fronts of such series as Catwoman, The Walking Dead, Faithless, and Bloodshot Reborn. Outside of comics, Lotay is a mainstay in the alternative film poster scene, contributing art to officially licensed projects such as Marvel Studio’s Black Widow, The Handmaiden, Personal Shopper, The Last of Us, and many others.

In 2015 she was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comic Book for The Wicked and The Divine #13. This was followed up with more accolades when Tula was awarded the Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award by the San Diego Comic-Con Eisner committee for her charitable and fundraising work in 2019. Her biggest accomplishment yet came once again at SDCC, when, in 2023, she won an Eisner Award for Best Digital Comic for Barnstormers with Scott Snyder and Comixology. She followed that up in 2024 with an Eisner Award for Best New Series for SOMNA.

SOMNA was her first completed book as a DSTLRY founding member and was both written and drawn collaboratively with creator Becky Cloonan. Her next project is Groupies, back at Comixology with writer Helen Mullane.

Allen Milgrom was born March 6, 1950 in Detroit, Michigan. Al graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in art and design in 1972 and moved to New York. After a year interning at DC Comics with legendary artist Murphy Anderson, Al began inking and, soon after, penciling. He’s worked on lots of comics over the years, (penciling, inking and even some writing) primarily for Marvel Comics, but he also co-created Firestorm at DC Comics and did work at Archie Comics as well as Atlas, Dark Horse, and others. He also did stints as an editor at Marvel and DC.

Married to his wife, Judy, since 1979, they have a daughter and two sons and the cutest grandson and granddaughter ever to walk the earth (of course he may be biased).

Appearing courtesy of Groundbreaking Comics, Joseph Schmalke is a comics creator, writer, and illustrator, and is the publisher of Midnight Factory, a comic line focused on horror, sci-fi, and the bizarre. Joe’s credentials include: Seven Years in Darkness, We Don’t Kill Spiders, Murder Hobo (created/written by), One Last Trick (created/written by), Prophets of Doom (created/written by), The Infernal Pact, Cherry Blackbird, Phantom Starkiller (co-writer/artist), and The Electric Black (co-creator/writer and artist). His artwork has been featured on variant covers for Image Comics, BOOM! Studios, Vault Comics, Mad Cave, Behemoth/Sumerian Comics, Source Point Press, Archie Comics, and IDW. You can also find his artwork on exclusive Marvel Entertainment merchandise.

Successful illustrator, Mark Sparacio studied sequential art for three years under the legendary Will Eisner — recognized as the creator of the Graphic Novel — at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, where he earned a B.F.A. in Illustration and Sequential Art.

While still in school, Sparacio received his first professional assignment to create a painting for the movie poster for the United Artist International film, The Draughtsman’s Contract. This opportunity resulted in a long run as a freelance illustrator in the advertising industry.

After working for both Marvel and DC Comics and creating covers for Comics Buyer’s Guide and The Overstreet Price Guide, creating paintings for card sets for UpperDeck/DC Comics and for Topps’ Wacky Packages and Garbage Pail Kids, Sparacio developed his second creator-owned graphic novel series, Chelsea Dagger and the Women of Excalibur, this one totally conceived, written, drawn and with painted covers by Sparacio and with the help of Chris Summers as interior digital painter and Marshall Dillon and Paula Padilla as letterer/assistant editors. After book one’s critical success, Sparacio has fully written and is currently drawing and painting covers for Chelsea Dagger and the Women of Excalibur books II and III.

Sparacio is the Artist in Residence at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida, where he teaches many traditional art classes and helped to create the new Visual Art and Design B.F.A. When he’s not in his studio and needs a place to sleep, Sparacio lives in Port St. Lucie, Florida, with his wife ToniAnn.

Inkpot Award recipient Billy Tucci is a cartoonist best known for his modern-day samurai saga Shi, which began with The Way of the Warrior in 1994. Through his company, Crusade Fine Arts, Shi has been printed in five languages and sold more than 3 million comic books. In addition to his own creations, the graduate of New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology has earned the prestigious Diamond Comics Gem Award and has been nominated for four Eisner Awards. Billy’s DC Comics graphic novel, Sgt. Rock: The Lost Battalion, was awarded the Military Writers Society of America Gold Medal for its depiction of the highly decorated, real-life 442nd Regimental Combat Team, which was comprised of Japanese-American soldiers. His earnest retelling of the Christmas story in A Child Is Born has quietly turned into an international blockbuster, winning the Christian Small Publisher Book of the Year Award. His critically acclaimed Miss Fury: Joy Division saw the return of the Golden Age Icon for Dynamite Comics. Billy has recently released Shi: Return of the Warrior, Shi: Haikyo, Shi: Omnibus Edition, and Zombie-Sama via Kickstarter and Indiegogo, uniting backers from over fifty countries and bringing Crusade Comics’ previous exclusive crowdfunding campaign totals to over $1,000,000.00.

Jim Starlin’s Dreadstar Omnibus Editions come to Dark Horse

Posted on by

From Dark Horse Books, Monkey Wrench Entertainment, and the mind of comics icon Jim Starlin, creator of Thanos, Drax, Gamora, and many more, comes the remastered and collected Jim Starlin’s Dreadstar Omnibus paperback editions! Starlin wrote and illustrated the series with contributions by Al Milgrom, Josef Rubenstein, and Kim De Mulder on inks and Glynis Wein on colors. The eon-spanning space fantasy will be available in three paperback remastered editions beginning in Fall 2025.

The spiraled arms of the Milky Way embrace hundreds of billions of stars, planets, and Earth—the little blue dot we call home. But humans aren’t the only inhabitants of this swirling galactic disc; it’s also given rise to a number of beautiful and terrible alien species—one of which is so dangerous, so destructive, and so inevitable that the only way to save the universe is to DESTROY THE MILKY WAY.

Vanth Dreadstar, last survivor of the Milky Way, has been tasked with safeguarding the future from the same fate that befell our galaxy. His crew, a cyborg sorcerer Syzygy Darklock, cybernetic telepath Willow, cat-like humanoid Oedi, and the freebooter Skeevo, are the universe’s unlikely protectors.

Jim Starlin’s Dreadstar Omnibus Volume 1 (512 pages, paperback, 6.625” x 10.1875”)will be available in bookstores and comic shops on October 21 and 22, 2025. It is now available to pre-order from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop or bookstore for $39.99.

Jim Starlin’s Dreadstar Omnibus Volume 2 (528 pages, paperback, 6.625” x 10.1875”)will be available in bookstores and comic shops on December 16 and 17, 2025.  It is now available to pre-order from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop or bookstore for $39.99.

The Inkwell Awards Announces the 2025 Inking Challenge featuring Al Milgrom

Posted on by
Marvel’s Incredible Hulk by artist Allen Milgrom

The Inkwell Awards, devoted to promoting the art of comic book inking, has announced that its 3rd Joe Sinnott Legacy Challenge Spotlight, featuring Marvel’s Incredible Hulk by artist Allen Milgrom.

The event was launched in 2021 to commemorate the life and long career of the late, award-winning ink artist Joe Sinnott, and the prior annual inking event that had borne his name since 2010. The previous Challenge featured Sinnott’s oft-partner Ron Frenz on Thor and his Amazing Spider-Man Sunday news strip partner Alex Saviuk with Spidey and Mary Jane. This year, artist Al Milgrom‘s exclusive pencil art was scanned and sent to a variety of ink artists to embellish.

Al’s career started in 1972 with ink assisting Murphy Anderson and Crusty Bunkers before he was credited for inking jobs. Around 1975 he was penciling Captain Marvel following Jim Starlin and Guardians of the Galaxy in Marvel presents. For much of his career he was not only penciling and inking titles but he was also an editor from 1977 at DC, where he also co-created Firestorm, and started editing at Marvel in 1979 leading to a memorable ten years tint on Marvel Fanfare. In the 1980s not only was Al incredibly prolific with inking much of the Marvel Universe of projects but he was also hired for his writing on Spider-Man and the Hulk. Joe Sinnott was paired with Al for a couple of notable, long stints at Marvel in the 1980s such as the Avengers for 2 years followed by West Coast Avengers for 2 years and many covers starting in the late 1970s through the 1980s.

For a month, 40 artists have volunteered to participate by inking the blueline pencils printed on board with the option of using the clean, slick line for which Sinnott was known, or in their own way to showcase how much the ink artist can contribute stylistically. Both professionals and amateurs were allowed to take part for the Inkwell’s promotional and educational fundraiser project. In alphabetical order, a few notable participants as of press time are:

  • Gerry Acerno
  • Oclair Albert
  • Steven Baskerville
  • Eliot R. Brown
  • Sergio Cariello
  • Kevin Conrad
  • Marc Deering

  • Belinda Sinnott

  • Bob Smith

Each inked page will be signed by Milgrom and the inker. All pages, plus a certificate of authenticity signed by The Inkwells’ founder/director ,Bob Almond, will be auctioned off as an eBay fundraiser in biweekly waves beginning a weekend in mid-January. Information about the upcoming fundraising auctions can be found on the Inkwell’s website and Facebook group.

Baltimore Comic-Con Welcomes John Beatty, John Cassaday, Trish Forstner, Al Milgrom, Liam Sharp, and Billy Tucci

Posted on by

Celebrate Baltimore Comic-Con‘s 25th Anniversary on September 20-22, 2024 at the Inner Harbor’s Baltimore Convention Center. Baltimore Comic-Con has announced the addition of comics guests John Beatty, John Cassaday, Trish Forstner, Al Milgrom, Liam Sharp, and Billy Tucci for our 25th Anniversary event! Tickets are now available online.

John Beatty got his first break working for Marvel and DC Comics when he was 19. The year was 1980 and the decade that followed is now referred to as the “Bronze Age” of comic books! Beginning with short filler stories for DC Comics anthology books, Beatty soon found himself as the finisher on the JLA working over George Perez. However, the run was limited to 4 issues due to Marvel Comics offering him the inking duty over his favorite character, Captain America, with his long-time mentor and collaborator, Mike Zeck. Coming off of a 2.5 year run on Cap, Zeck and Beatty were tagged to do the art on the first major clash of heroes and villains, Marvel Super Heroes: Secret Wars! which saw the change of Spider-Man’s costume to black in issue #8 of the series, something that turned into a bigger deal as Venom. After Secret Wars, the team of Zeck and Beatty produced the hit limited mini-series and a graphic novel starring Marvel’s newest “A-List” character, The Punisher. The last major work the team produced was the Captain America Annual 8. Covers for Captain America, G.I. Joe, and many other titles were a staple of work for the team during the ’80s. Beatty continued projects for Marvel, including Thanos Quest, Squadron Supreme, Venom: The Madness, and others. At DC Comics, John was the inker for Batman: Year 3 and the first 5 issues on the new Batman title, Legends of the Dark Knight. Eight years of work on various Batman titles with writer Doug Moench and penciler Kelley Jones became well-known in the ’90s, including the last 2 installments on the Vampire/Batman GN series, other Batman graphic novels, and a 3-year run on the monthly Batman title, recently reprinted in two beautiful hardcover editions. Eventually turning his sights on DC Licensing, Beatty has produced vector ink and color for style guides, from movies to animated series to products such as toys, cards, packaging, and clothing, among other things. This is uncredited work, but is still being used. Traditional inking is still Beatty’s main love, and he continues to practice it and teach those around him who want to learn.

John Cassaday is the Eisner Award-winning artist best known for co-creating the acclaimed DC/Wildstorm series Planetary, Marvel’s best-selling Astonishing X-Men, and the launch of the Star Wars on-going series from Marvel. Cassaday’s work has been exhibited in Hong Kong, Paris, New York City, and the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC.

He went on to work for “The Big Two”, with prolific stints on DC’s Planetary and Marvel’s Astonishing X-Men, X-Men, Captain America, and Uncanny Avengers, and has recently done work on Dynamite Entertainment’s Doc Savage.

Cassaday has both been nominated and won numerous prestigious industry awards including Eisner, Eagle, and, for his work on Astonishing X-Men, a Spike TV Scream Award. 

His recent work can be found in the pages and covers of Dynamite Entertainment’s Doc Savage, and on covers for Marvel’s Miracleman, Magneto, Savage Wolverine, and Captain Marvel and Image’s Starlight.

Trish Forstner is from Baltimore, Maryland and is a relative newcomer to the comic industry but brings a lifetime of experience in creating fun, lovable characters. She’s been drawing since she could hold a pencil. Trish loves classic animation and has drawn influence from many sources, particularly classic 80s and 90s toons. Her love of expression and emotion is on full display in any work she creates. You’ve most recently seen her artwork in the Eisner Award-nominated Stray Dogs from Image Comics and IDW’s My Little Pony comic series, as well as a plethora of variant covers for various independent titles.

Allen Milgrom was born March 6, 1950 in Detroit, Michigan. Al graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in art and design in 1972 and moved to New York. After a year interning at DC Comics with legendary artist Murphy Anderson, Al began inking and, soon after, penciling. He’s worked on lots of comics over the years, (penciling, inking and even some writing) primarily for Marvel Comics, but he also co-created Firestorm at DC Comics and did work at Archie Comics as well as Atlas, Dark Horse, and others. He also did stints as an editor at Marvel and DC.

Married to his wife, Judy, since 1979, they have a daughter and two sons and the cutest grandson and granddaughter ever to walk the earth (of course he may be biased).

Liam Sharp is an award-winning Anglo-American writer and artist. He has worked for all the major comic companies, but is primarily known for his more recent stint at DC, where he drew the best-selling Wonder Woman: Rebirth series, The Lies and The Truth written by Greg Rucka, and the acclaimed The Brave and the Bold: Batman and Wonder Woman series, which he also wrote. He had an epic 24-issue run drawing The Green Lantern, scripted by the legendary Grant Morrison, and produced full-color art on Batman: Reptilian for DC’s Black Label imprint, scripted by the great Garth ‘The Boys‘ Ennis. He wrote, illustrated, and lettered his own creator-owned series for Image Comics, Starhenge – an epic sci-fantasy saga based on the legend of Merlin. He is currently writing and producing art for Spawn: The Dark Aages for Todd McFarlane and Image.

Since then, he has worked for virtually every major publisher and compiled a long list of credits, including stints on Thor for Marvel, Green Lantern and Superboy for DC, Star Wars for Dark Horse, and the historic Marvel vs. DC crossover. He co-created the Green Lantern Kyle Rayner during his landmark run on the title, and recently returned to Marvel for the Silver Surfer: Rebirth series with Ron Lim.
