Jose Delbo, Bob Layton, Mark Sparacio and Mervyn McKoy have all just been announced for Florida Supercon 2014!

 

Argentinian born artist Jose Delbo has a career that has spanned 50 years, starting in the Silver Age of the early 1960's until today. Comic fans will best know Delbo for his work on Wonder Woman (1976-1981), The Transformers (Marvel Comics) from issue 36-67 (1987-1990), Batgirl's feature in Detective Comics (1979-1982), The Superman Family (1977-1982), Thundercats (1986-1988), World's Finest (Superman/Batman 1977-1986), The Beatles: Yellow Submarine, Billy the Kid (Charlton), Mighty Samson (Gold Key) and Twilight Zone (Gold Key).

 

Bob Layton has been an artist, inker, writer, editor and editor in chief, and is best known for his association with Iron Man over the past three decades. He is known as the definitive artist of Iron Man, having re-imagined the character in 1978 with writing partner David Michelinie and then, years later, Bob and David came back to Iron Man to revitalize it once more, first with the revolutionary Silver Centurion armor design and then, with the wildly-successful story arc—"Armor Wars". Bob also launched the first mini-series in comics' history at Marvel with his highly-praised Hercules—Prince of Power. That series, which Bob Layton wrote and drew, spawned a successful sequel and a graphic novel. Layton also revived the original X-Men characters at Marvel with his groundbreaking series--X-Factor. While at Marvel, Bob designed the highly-successful Marvel Secret Wars toy line for Mattel. Second only to his tenure on Iron Man, Bob is also known for his innovative contributions to the Valiant Comics line-- first as co-architect of the Valiant Universe, and then, as Editor-in-Chief and Senior Vice President.

 

Mark Sparacio is known for his painted artwork on such titles as Green Lantern, Heroes For Hire, Jonah Hex, Domino Lady, Return of the Original, Captain Action Comics, Charmed, Fallen Angel, Flare, Flare Adventures, Billy Tucci's A Child Is Born, Grimm Fairy Tales, Hero by Night, Liberty Comics, Liberty Gir, Sgt.

Rock mini-series and his own creation Omega Paradox. His latest project is Bombshell and TommTomm, a creator owned comic by Mark and writer Jim Kuhoric.

I can't wait for this show. Any chance for a Kevin smith podcast return? It was awesome...just really hard to hear with all the people chatting around the room.
