Novi,
Mi: Now
in its 24th year, Motor City Comic Con is one of the fastest growing
Comic Conventions in the United States! MCCC’s singular mix of stellar
Comic world luminaries, as well as a glittering array of iconic TV and film
stars and fan favorites from the World of Wrestling, has made it a sprawling
celebration of Pop Culture and a destination event for fans from across the
region. The dazzling array of Comic talent heading for Motor City Comic Con in
May far surpasses any previous Michigan show. In addition to the iconic
creator Stan Lee, Motor City Comic Con 2013 is also very
pleased to welcome:
George
Pérez:
In his more than 38-year career, Mr. Pérez has been involved with many of the
industry’s landmark publications. With writer Marv Wolfman, Mr. Pérez created
The New Teen Titan, which helped bring DC Comics back into competitive
prominence during the 1980’s. The team struck gold again when they redefined
the entire DC Universe in the hugely successful Crisis On Infinite Earths and
its follow-up History Of The DC Universe. Pérez had two enormously successful
runs, almost two decades apart, on The Avengers and attained great personal
success as writer and artist for the 1980s re-launch of Wonder
Woman. www.george-perez.com
Don
Rosa: Well
known in American comics fandom since the 1960’s for his vast comic book
collection and fanzine writing & cartooning, Rosa became internationally
famous starting in 1987 when he began writing and drawing “Uncle $crooge” and
“Donald Duck” comics for various licensed publishers in Europe. Just as they
once were in America, Donald Duck comics (based on Carl Barks’ work) continue
to be the best selling comic books in Europe and South America where the
*weekly* Duck comics have been read by hundreds of millions of fans for over 60
years. This makes Rosa one of the world’s best known and most popular
cartoonists, but still very easy to visit with at American shows where he can
relax in “relative obscurity”. American comics fans are mostly familiar with
his most famous and oft-reprinted work, the Eisner Award winning “Life and
Times of $crooge McDuck” series.
