- GSCF is proud to Welcome back Greg Hildebrandt to Garden State Comic Fest July 9-10th at Mennen Arena in Morristown NJ. This is a super rare appearance by the living legend himself.
For years Greg and Tim the Brothers Hildebrandt worked together and apart, receiving international recognition and numerous awards and honors. In 1975, Greg and Tim illustrated the first of a series of Lord of the Rings calendars for Ballantine Books. In 1977, Lucas Film hired the Brothers to create the 1st movie poster for the Star Wars film,Star Wars: A New Hope.
In 1981, they pursued separate careers. During the ’80s
Greg’s art appeared on covers for Omni and Heavy Metal. The Franklin Mint and Lenox issued his work on collector’s plates, figurines, dolls and swords. In l984, Greg illustrated Mary
Stewart’s Merlin trilogy, and he has illustrated 15 classics, including: The Wizard of OZ, Aladdin, Robin Hood, Dracula and Phantom of the Opera. When commenting on Greg's work the New York Times said, “Fortunate the child or adult who receives a gift of the classics richly illustrated by Greg Hildebrandt.”
After 12 years apart, the Brothers reunited in 1993. They worked on Marvel posters, pre-production art for Stan Lee and Michael Uslan, producer of the Batman films, a King Tut book, the 1994 Marvel Masterpieces card set, X-Men and Spiderman card sets, Terry & The Pirates comic strip and an X-Men 2099 painted bookshelf edition. In 1999, Greg began to paint a life-long dream. He created his 'American Beauties' series of retro pinup art. There are presently 90 amazing paintings in this series, and Greg says the possibilities of what to paint next are endless! Greg and Tim have also done paintings for a number of Magic The Gathering cards.
Since Garden State's last show Greg has also got back into doing a number of comic covers for Marvel including Secret Wars, Old Man Logan, and Deadpool vs.Thanos to name a few.
Make sure to come out and meet this great art icon!

- GSCF is proud to welcome Mark McKenna to Garden State Comic Fest Fest July 9-10th at the Mennen Arena in Morristown NJ.
Mark McKenna is a 30 year veteran of the comic book industry. In that time he has worked on Batman, Wolverine, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk and more recently on Star Wars, counting over 500 comics in all.
A graduate of The School of Visual Arts in 1982, his first credited published works was in a a toy tie-in comic called Sectaurs(#4) in the same year with spot credits here and there. It wasn’t until he brought his Marvel samples to DC in late 1986 and serendipitously met DC group editor Karen Berger that his life took a major change. A day after Mrs. Berger had seen his samples, she called Mark and offered him a new ongoing title, Dr. Fate.
Mark's more recent work can be seen in Legendary Picture Books PACIFIC RIM movie prequel, Dark Horse Comics Star Wars-The Old Republic: The Lost Suns. In 2012 his work on the online web comic titled “Star Wars: Blood of the Empire“ was collected into an 84 page trade paperback and was the lynchpin for the 2012 released Bio-ware online video game, The Old Republic.
His children’s book series Banana Tail and Friends is a labor of love that he created when his daughter was four and had a newborn son. The BOOnana Tail Halloween Special was released for Halloween of last year and was treated as an “all ages” comic project that continues to grow with children that had the original storybooks read to them as younger children.
Mark has also created, written, inked and published the Sci Fi/Horror COMBAT JACKS comic book with issue #3 coming out this June and will be available at GSCF.

- GSCF is proud to welcome Jim Steranko to Garden State Comic Fest this July 9-10th at Mennen Arena in Morristown NJ.
Jim has cut a ferocious path through the entertainment arts, with a dozen successful careers to his credit: author, magician, illustrator, escape artist, historian. He is cited as one of the prime architects of Marvel Comics and the co-creator of NICK FURY, AGENT OF S.H.I.E.L.D. He also wrote and drew CAPTAIN AMERICA, THE HULK, SUPERMAN, and THE X-MEN (for which he designed the classic title logo); generated more than 150 original storytelling devices and techniques that changed the direction of the comics medium; and evolved a devoted cult of followers who have nicknamed him The Innovator. WIZARD magazine credits Steranko as the 5th Most Influential Artist in the history of the form.
Over the past several decades, he has amassed more than 100 highly-commercial Intellectual Properties—his Theatre of Concepts—which range from children’s interactive-learning entertainments to high-action adult digital gaming, from science fiction to superheroes. His vision is to shape, structure, and synthesize character-driven projects with state-of-the-art technology for the World of Tomorrow. And he's still the best-dressed man in comics.

- GSCF is proud to announce Jan Duursema is coming to Garden State Comic Fest this July!
Jan is most well known for her work on the Star Wars comics franchise and, believe us, that only touches the surface of her extraordinary career to date. She was the creator of the Twi'lek Jedi Aayla Secura and her Kiffar Jedi master Quinlan Vos as well as Denin and Vila from Naldar.
Jan’s first published illustration work appeared in Heavy Metal. From there she drew several stories for DC Comics' Sgt. Rock. She co-created Arion Lord of Atlantis with Paul Kupperberg and also drew stories in Warlord and Wonder Woman #300.
Her first work for the Star Wars franchise appeared in Star Wars #92, published by Marvel Comics. Other work there includes art for X-Factor, Hulk, Spider Man and X-Men.
At DC, Jan drew the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons series, then worked with John Ostrander on Hawkworld and the series relaunch of that title, Hawkman.
Jan's association with the Star Wars franchise at Dark Horse began with Star Wars: Chewbacca #2. That was followed by several Star Wars series for Dark Horse: Star Wars Republic and Star Wars Republic: Clone Wars with John Ostrander, the Star Wars: Darth Maul mini in 2000 with Ron Marz and the comic adaptation of Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. Jumping ahead into Star War's future, Duursema and Ostrander collaborated on the Star Wars Legacy series. After that, the team of Ostrander and Duursema launched the Star Wars Dawn of the Jedi series at Dark Horse which delved into the beginnings of the Jedi.
Other works include DC's Convergence: Nightwing and Oracle with Gail Simone, Ghost for Dark Horse, as well as work for Valiant Comics and Elric:The Vanishing Tower by Michael Moorcock, adapted by Roy Thomas for First Comics.
Jan is currently working on some great new indy projects with John Ostrander and Louise Simonson that will be announced soon!

From #10 of the title, she was joined by her husband, Walt Simonson, on pencils. In #25, the creators gave the character, Angel, blue skin and metal wings in a process which would lead to his being renamed as "Archangel". It was at Simonson's suggestion that X-Men writer Chris Claremont's "Mutant Massacre" story idea was turned into a crossover through all the "X-books", the first of its kind.Her run on X-Factor included the relevant installments of "Mutant Massacre", and the subsequent crossovers "Fall of the Mutants," "Inferno", and "X-Tinction Agenda".

- GSCF is proud to welcome writer Scott Lobdell to Garden State Comic Fest.
In the 1990s Scott became known for his work on Marvel Comics' X-Men-related titles, specifically Uncanny X-Men, the main title itself, and the spin-off series that he conceived with artist Chris Bachalo, Generation X. He wrote the first 28 issues of Generation X, and at one point was writing both main X-Men titles for a lengthy run. He also had runs with the Excalibur and X-Factor titles. Scott was the primary creative force behind most of the major X-title related storylines, especially the major cross-overs, throughout a majority of the 1990s, including "X-Cutioner's Song", "Fatal Attractions", "Phalanx Covenant", "Age of Apocalypse", the "Onslaught" saga, and "Operation: Zero Tolerance". He returned briefly to Marvel in 2001, to try and tie up loose ends he left behind and wrote one last storyline, dubbed "Eve of Destruction".
Many of the concepts and even characters created by Scott Lobdell and fellow X-Men writer Fabian Nicieza were used throughout the run of the popular 1990s X-Men: The Animated Series.
Lobdell had writing stints on Marvel's Daredevil, Alpha Flight and The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix mini-series with artist Gene Ha. He also wrote several of the first issues of the "Heroes Reborn" reboots of both Iron Man and Fantastic Four.
Lobdell was responsible for having the Marvel Comics character Northstar come out as a homosexual. While the character's orientation had been hinted at previously by other writers. Lobdell broke from this having Northstar out himself publicly as a gay superhero in order to bring attention to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Royalties from that issue were donated to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. He would later introduce the first new gay superhero of DC's New 52 relaunch, codenamed Bunker, to the Teen Titans lineup. This would be the most prominent gay character in the team's history since Hero Cruz joined Titans LA.
In 2011, Lobdell took on the writing duties for Red Hood and the Outlaws, which debuted as part of DC Comics' company-wide title re-launch, The New 52.and a new Teen Titans comic starring Red Robin, Superboy, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash and three new characters. His run on Teen Titans ended with Volume 4 Issue 30, the series was relaunched soon afterwards with writer Will Pfeifer and art provided by Kenneth Rocafort. The team now comprises Red Robin, Wonder Girl, Bunker and new members Raven and Beastboy.
