“What an awesome group of talent,” said Marc Nathan, show promoter for the Baltimore Comic-Con. “We have everything from creators synonymous with titles to award winners to philanthropists in this bunch, and we’re really proud to be able to introduce them to our fans. These are all names you have likely heard, but have never seen at our show (or at least not for some time anyway!), and we’re excited to bring them to Baltimore.”
