24th Annual Motor City Comic Con welcomes a
Great Galaxy of Comic Stars for 2013!
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.
