You can see his work as an inker for Marvel Entertainment products all over the world in magazines, coloring and activity books, video games, wall posters, cups, hats, t-shirts, and more. You name it, he’s done it!

In comics, Guy has worked on titles such as The New Warriors, Marvel Comics Presents, and Night Thrasher. He is also the co-creator of the character Scorch alongside Dan Slott, who has appeared in Marvel comics and the TV series Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD.

He has also designed toys for The Tick, Hercules, Xena, and Youngblood.

In cinema and television, Guy has worked on the X-Men: Apocalypse movie posters as well as the character development for the Silver Surfer cartoon series. A great Easter egg is that his first cover for an independent company was used as a poster featured in Kevin Smith’s cult classic, Chasing Amy.

Ron Randall is the creator/writer/artist of the scif-fi comic series Trekker, featuring bounty hunter Mercy St. Clair. He produces and publishes continuing volumes of the series through a wildly successful string of Kickstarter campaigns.

In addition to his work on Trekker, Ron is known for his decades of work with DC, Marvel, Dark Horse. and others on titles as varied as Supergirl, Star Wars, Swamp Thing, Venom, Predator, Justice League, and many more. www.ronrandall.com

Recent projects include producing covers for GI Joe, Dejah Thoris, Jeepers Creepers, Vampirella, and covers for KISS and Bloodshot.

Brenna Thummler, appearing at 5pm on Saturday courtesy of Third Eye Comics (Booth #901), has always known her life is haunted. Much like Marjorie Glatt, she grew up in a small Pennsylvania town, where piano practice and ghost stories were part of her daily routine. It wasn’t until she attended Ringling College of Art and Design, however, that she realized her passion for storytelling (as well as her hatred of laundry). Now back in her hometown, she spends her days drawing, writing, and suspicious of her sheets.

Tomasi also wrote the screenplay for the popular animated film Death of Superman, and his screenplay for The Bridge was on The Black List as one of the best unproduced Hollywood scripts of that year.

Robert Venditti is a New York Times bestselling author whose characters and stories have been adapted to film, television, animation, and video games. Some of his works include the monthly comic book series Superman ’78, Hawkman, Green Lantern, and Justice League for DC Comics, X-O Manowar and Wrath of the Eternal Warrior for Valiant Entertainment, and the graphic novel Six Days, inspired by the story of his uncle’s participation in D-Day. He has also adapted Rick Riordan’s global bestselling Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus series.

Ron Garney, Adam Hughes, Ron Randall, Alison Sohn, Paul D. Storrie, and Billy Tucci are coming to Baltimore Comic Con

Posted on by

Visit the 24th annual Baltimore Comic-Con on September 8-10, 2023 at the Inner Harbor’s Baltimore Convention Center. The Baltimore Comic-Con is pleased to announce the appearance of comic guests Ron Garney, Adam Hughes, Ron Randall, Alison Sohn, Paul D. Storrie, and Billy Tucci in 2023. Tickets are available now so attendees can avoid ticket counter lines.

Ron Garney, over the course of his established thirty-five year career, has built a large fan following, illustrating some of the industry’s greatest characters, such as The Amazing Spider-Man, Incredible Hulk, Silver Surfer, X-Men, JLA (for DC), Captain America, Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, G.I. Joe, Skaar: Son of the Hulk, Wolverine, Ultimate Captain America, Uncanny X-Force, Thor: God of Thunder, his creator-owned Men of Wrath, Daredevil, Savage Sword of Conan, and is currently working with film legend Keanu Reeves on the comic BRZRKR, which has also been picked up for a live action film and anime series on Netflix. Ron has been nominated twice for the industry’s coveted Eisner Award for Best Artist and Best Serialized Story (Captain America) and an Inkwell nomination for BRZRKR. Ron has also worked in the film industry, notably on I Am Legend (starring Will Smith) as costume illustrator and did illustrating for Marvel’s Netflix series, Daredevil. He is also a songwriter and musician, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blackbelt and instructor, and resides in Connecticut with his wife and four children. You can reach Ron on Instagram @rongarneyart or Ron Garney on Twitter.

Adam Hughes is, arguably, the single greatest artist in this entire paragraph. With an illustration career spanning 37 years, he has worked for everyone from Hugh Hefner to Mickey Mouse. He’s produced comic book artwork for all the Stars, both Wars and Trek. He’s drawn Betty, Veronica, AND Hellboy. You name it: if they’re in funnybooks, he’s drawn them. Except Daredevil. He’s never been asked to draw Daredevil professionally, and he’s a tad bitter about it.

Born in New Jersey, he escaped when he was 25, spending the remaining years in Atlanta, Georgia. He likes Georgia. It’s close to DisneyWorld. Adam has won most major comics awards, like the Eisner, Harvey, and Inkpot awards. He’s even had a book on the New York Times bestseller list! It peaked at #2, because of those damned TWILIGHT books. Seriously, though. I coulda been #1. I can sparkle. He! We mean “he!” *cough*

When backed into a corner, Adam can also write. Not this bio, no; we mean REAL writing. COMIC BOOKS. In fact, he can do just about everything, except lettering. Comic book lettering is sorcery, it’s chaos magic, and anyone who can do it well is obviously some sort of necromancer.

Adam dislikes hugs, and one will cost you $20. In his spare time, he is married to the fabulous Allison Sohn.

Ron Randall is the creator/writer/artist of the scif-fi comic series Trekker, featuring bounty hunter Mercy St. Clair. He produces and publishes continuing volumes of the series through a wildly successful string of Kickstarter campaigns.

In addition to his work on Trekker, Ron is known for his decades of work with DC, Marvel, Dark Horse. and others on titles as varied as Supergirl, Star Wars, Swamp Thing, Venom, Predator, Justice League, and many more. www.ronrandall.com

Allison Sohn is an illustrator who while she has contributed covers to comics books, is best known for her work in sketch and trading cards. Her work has graced such distinguished card sets as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings, Women of Marvel and DC comics-themed sets. An avid advocate for animals, when Allison isn’t drawing comics or trading card subjects, she turns her skills to illustrating dogs for both professional and personal projects.

Paul D. Storrie has written comics for numerous publishers, including the recently collected Harley Quinn & the Gotham Girls for DC, Star Trek Alien Spotlight: Andorians for IDW, and The Viking Queen at Source Point Press, His most recent work can be found in the Eisner-nominated one-shot John Carpenter Presents Storm Kids: Stanley’s Ghost.

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.

Sasquatch Detective #1

(W) Brandee Stillwell (A) Ron Randall, Gus Vazquez (CA) Ben Caldwell
In Shops: Dec 12, 2018
SRP: $7.99

Before Tonya Lightfoot became Los Angeles’ most decorated detective, she was a wee sasquatch roaming the Appalachian mountains, fed a steady diet of tennis and golf (as both of her parents are pros at the local country club) and CSI episodes. But her idyllic life of pranking campers and squatching around the local golf course hits a bump in the fire road when Bigfoot hunters come to the dense forest. Would Tonya back down in the face of adversity? Not yeti! But experiencing this abominable anti-sasquatch sentiment gives her the determination to leave her home behind-she heads to the dangers of the city. After all, it’s hard to fight un-conscious bias, but crime is something America’s sassiest sasquatch is ready to tackle.
This special features a new 30-page lead story plus the backup stories from EXIT STAGE LEFT: THE SNAGGLEPUSS CHRONICLES #2-6.
