Baltimore Comic-Con Welcomes Christina Blanch, Norman Lee, and Pop Mhan!
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - August 4, 2014 - The
Baltimore Comic-Con's inaugural 3-day event takes place on
Friday-Sunday, September 5-7, 2014 at the Baltimore Convention Center! We are pleased to announce the addition of Christina Blanch, Norman Lee, and Pop Mhan!
Christina
Blanch came to comics via education -- she is a teacher who found the
medium geared for the classroom and one-on-one instruction. She has
taught on college campuses, in the correctional system, and in Massive
Open Online Courses (MOOCs) such as "Gender Through Comic Books". Her
Thrillbent Comics title The Damnation of Charlie Wormwood is making the transition to print through Dynamite Entertainment.
Norman Lee went to school for fashion illustration.
After experiencing some burnout in that field, he began helping a
friend in the comics industry in 1995 with backgrounds, and his career
as an inker was underway! He spent most of his professional life working
for Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse Comics, and has inked pretty much every
major character in the Marvel Universe! His lines can be seen in the
recent Iron Man Special #1 from Marvel Comics. 
Pop
Mhan was lucky enough to get his jump into the comics industry under
the tutelage of Jim Lee at Wildstorm Productions. Since those early
days, his art has graced the pages of comics from Marvel Comics, DC
Comics, Top Cow, Dark Horse Comics, and Tokyopop. His recent work can be
seen at DC Comics, where he has been penciling licensed properties
like Gears of War 3 and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, and Marvel Comics on All-New X-Factor and variant covers for Amazing Spider-Man.
"We're
so happy to have all three of these guests return to our show," said
Marc Nathan, promoter of the Baltimore Comic-Con. "Pop and Norman are
fantastic artists and both boast a huge catalog of work, and Christina's
really getting great attention for her contributions, both on the page
and in the classroom. We know our fans will be thrilled to interact with
all three!"
The Baltimore Comic-Con
