Mark Bagley to Join PHXCC 2014

Phoenix Comicon is proud to announce that comic book artist Mark Bagley will be attending Comicon 2014.

Mark Bagley is an American comic book artist known for his work with popular Marvel Comics and DC Comics titles.

“We are very excited to welcome Mark Bagley and his years of comic book artist experience to Phoenix Comicon 2014,” says Convention Director Matt Sorberg.

Bagley got his start in the comics industry in 1983 after finishing first place at the Marvel Try-out Book competition. After some work with Marvel, he was assigned to the new teenage superhero series, New Warriors in 1990. From there, Bagley became penciller for Spider-Man's flagship title, The Amazing Spider-Man. He would go on to be considered the definitive Spider-Man artist of the mid-1990's.

In 2000, Bagley was assigned to Ultimate Spider-Man and would enjoy the longest continuous run of any creative team on a mainstream Marvel superhero comic. This would help him earn recognition in Wizard Magazine's top ten artists of the 00's. In 2008, Bagley signed an exclusive deal with DC Comics and worked on notable titles Batman and Justice League of America. Bagley is currently back at Marvel Comics and has taken over penciling duties on Fantastic Four.

Phoenix Comicon is the signature pop culture experience of the southwest. Comicon is presenting guests and programming for hobbyists by attracting the top segments of the comics, anime, sci-fi, film, tv, and gaming industries.
