Steve was on the book with Moore for years. Eventually Steve left the big comic companies for other endeavors but he has always had a hand in the comic scene, supporting small press and Vermont's School, The Center For Cartoon Studies. Steve’s most recent work includes a collaboration with show’s special guest, Christopher Golden on the book, Prince of Stories: The Many Worlds of Neil Gaiman. Steve will be bringing sketches to sell at the show (3 piece max per person) but will not be doing commissions nor will he be traveling with Vintage art. He will have plenty of information about his school as well as a slide show. Swing By Steve's BLOG
