Garth Ennis and Dynamite Entertainment Cast their Shadow in Baltimore!   The Shadow written by Garth Ennis Published by Dynamite Entertainment BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - April 9, 2012 - The Baltimore Comic-Con is excited to add prolific writer Garth Ennis and publisher Dynamite Entertainment to the growing list of talent and exhibitors attending this year's show. The show will take place September 8-9, 2012 at the Baltimore Convention Center. Ennis, who is probably best known for his work on the Vertigo series, Preacher, as well as the creator-owned series, The Boys from Dynamite Entertainment, began his career in 1989. After several critically acclaimed works in England, he broke into the American comic scene in 1991. Building a following on such titles as Hellblazer (Vertigo), The Demon (DC Comics), Hitman (DC Comics), Preacher (Vertigo), and PunisherMAX (Marvel Comics), Ennis is renowned as one of the best writers to come out of the "British Invasion" of the early-'90s and received and Eisner Award for Best Writer in 1998 and an Eagle Award in 1999 for Best Color Comic Book (for Preacher). Currently, Ennis is wrapping up his final story arc for The Boys, as well as handling writing duties for the relaunch of The Shadow for Dynamite Entertainment. Ennis will be working with artist Aaron Campbell (Green Hornet: Year One, Dark Shadows) to bring the classic pulp franchise back to the printed page for a whole new generation of fans. "The Shadow is probably the last established character I like that I haven't gotten around to writing yet, certainly on this side of the Atlantic," said Ennis in a recent press release. "It makes a kind of bloody, bullet-riddled sense: I always had a feeling our paths would cross sooner or later." Dynamite Entertainment, whose publishing works includes both licensed properties and creator-owned work, will also be exhibiting at this year's show. Founded in 2004, Dynamite won the Diamond Gem Award for Best Publisher Under 4% of Market Share in 2011.
