 BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - August 30, 2012 - Independent publishing house StarWarp Concepts--home for edgy dark-urban-fantasy books and graphic novels--hits the road to make its first appearance at the popular Baltimore Comic-Con, being held September 8-9, 2012 at the Baltimore Convention Center.

 

Artists Alley table #A189 is where you'll find best-selling author Steven A. Roman (X-Men: The Chaos Engine Trilogy) promoting The Saga of Pandora Zwieback, his young adult novel series about a teenaged Goth who teams up with an immortal shape-shifter named Annie to hunt monsters. Joining Roman will be author Richard C. White (Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, Star Trek: Echoes of Coventry), who will be promoting The Chronicles of the Sea Dragon, his pirate-fantasy comic book that's perfect for fans of classic adventure and the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

 

On sale will be:

 

* Blood Feud: The Saga of Pandora Zwieback, Book 1: The critically acclaimed first novel in the series finds Pan and Annie contending with warring vampire clans who attempt to unleash hell on earth.

 

* Lorelei: Sects and the City: Written by Roman and featuring art by Eliseu Gouveia (The Phantom), Steve Geiger (Web of Spider-Man), and Neil Vokes (The Black Forest), this Mature Readers graphic novel is about a succubus battling the members of a fanatical cult that's trying to resurrect the Elder Gods they worship.

 

* The Bob Larkin Sketchbook: From Doc Savage and Batman to Star Wars and the X-Men, there's little that this legendary painter hasn't drawn, and this first-time collection of some of his detailed pencil work features pulp adventurers, wrestlers, femme fatales, and superheroes, and includes three new pieces done especially for this volume.

 

* The Official Pandora Zwieback T-shirt!

 

* The Chronicles of the Sea Dragon comic book, as well as related T-shirts and role-playing game figurines.
