its 14th year, the Baltimore Comic-Con returns to Baltimore's Inner
Harbor Friday, September 5th through Sunday, September 7th at the
Baltimore Convention Center!
You thought we couldn't squeeze a few more guests into our
already-packed room? Think again! We're welcoming Rafer Roberts, Gail
Simone, and Matthew Wilson too!
Gail Simone is a critically acclaimed, fan-favorite writer of comic books and animation. She has written classic runs on such titles as Batgirl, Birds of Prey, Deadpool, Secret Six, and Action Comics. Her creator-owned graphic novel, Leaving Megalopolis,
created with co-creator and artist Jim Calafiore, was the highest
funded straight comics project in Kickstarter history. She has written
animation for Wonder Woman, Tomb Raider, Brave and the Bold, and Justice League United, and is currently working on the comics Tomb Raider, Red Sonja,
and several creator-owned projects. In addition to appearing at the
Dynamite Entertainment booth over the weekend, Simone will serve as
Keynote Speaker at this year's Harvey Awards on Saturday, September 6th.
Matthew Wilson is an art school graduate with a degree in Sequential
Art. His color palettes have graced the pages of numerous books from
multiple publishers, including DC Comics Swamp Thing, Wonder Woman, and Batman '66, Marvel Comics' Secret Avengers, Uncanny X-Force, Moon Knight, and Young Avengers, Dark Horse's Terminator Salvation: The Final Battle, The Guild: Fawkes, and Deep Gravity, Image's The Wicked + The Divine, Suburban Glamour, and Phonogram: The Singles Club, BOOM! Studios' Snarked, Pale Horse, and The Rinse, and many, many others.
Rafer Roberts first made a name for himself with his self-published, underground title Plastic Farm,
published since 2001. More recently, he has found increasing mainstream
exposure, with stories in the Dark Horse anthology, the
Harvey-nominated Once Upon a Time Machine, the New York Times best-selling FUBAR anthology from FUBAR Press, and back-up stories in Valiant's X-O Manowar, Harbinger, Archer & Armstrong, and a future issue of Unity. More of his work will see print in IDW's Imaginary Drugs and Locust Moon's Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream anthologies.

to add Rafer and Matt to the list, we're really bringing an amazing set
of talent to the fans this year!"
