Guy Dorian Sr., appearing courtesy of Comics & Gaming (Booth #1107), is a comic book artist, toy designer, and cinematic art designer with over 30 years of experience who has worked for some of the largest mainstream companies in the world, including Marvel, DC, IDW, JusToys, 20th Century Fox, Marvel Entertainment, and Storm King Productions, as well as on several Hollywood films. You can see his work as an inker for Marvel Entertainment products all over the world in magazines, coloring and activity books, video games, wall posters, cups, hats, t-shirts, and more. You name it, he’s done it!
In comics, Guy has worked on titles such as The New Warriors, Marvel Comics Presents, and Night Thrasher. He is also the co-creator of the character Scorch alongside Dan Slott, who has appeared in Marvel comics and the TV series Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. His more recent comic works include pencils in ROM for IDW, ROM and The Micronauts, John Carpenter’s Hyperbreed, GI Joe: A Real American Hero, and the list keeps going!
In toy design, Guy has worked on toys for some of the world’s greatest wrestlers including Bret Hart, Doink The Clown, Randy Savage, Shawn Michaels, and the Undertaker for the original “Bend ‘Ems” toy line from 1994-1998, and recently announced working with The Major Wrestling Figure Company’s Randy Savage design and trading card. He has also designed toys for The Tick, Hercules, Xena, and Youngblood.
In cinema and television, Guy has worked on the X-Men: Apocalypse movie posters as well as the character development for the Silver Surfer cartoon series. A great Easter egg is that his first cover for an independent company was used as a poster featured in Kevin Smith’s cult classic, Chasing Amy.
Mr. Dorian continues to work alongside many of the world’s greatest comic book legends, as well as major Hollywood producers to soon release new TV series and films of his own creations. Also upcoming comic and toys are Mounties vs. Werewolves with Larry Hama and Lost Landers (lostlanders.com) toys and comics with his partner and co-owner of Bamco Toys Inc., Thomas Chillemi.
This man knows how to keep many irons in the fire and there’s barely a corner of the world his artwork hasn’t touched at some point!
Come meet Mr. Dorian!

Paul D. Storrie started writing comics professionally in 1998 with Robyn of Sherwood, about the daughter of Robin Hood, at Caliber Comics. Since then, he was written for numerous publishers including Marvel, DC Comics, IDW Publishing, Moonstone Books, Lerner Books, Source Point Press, and Storm King.

His most recent works include the Eisner-nominated John Carpenter Presents Storm Kids: Stanley’s Ghost and the follow up, Stanley & the Forgotten Forest.
Brenna Thummler, appearing at 5pm on Saturday courtesy of Third Eye Comics (Booth #901), has always known her life is haunted. Much like Marjorie Glatt, she grew up in a small Pennsylvania town, where piano practice and ghost stories were part of her daily routine. It wasn’t until she attended Ringling College of Art and Design, however, that she realized her passion for storytelling (as well as her hatred of laundry). Now back in her hometown, she spends her days drawing, writing, and suspicious of her sheets.
Peter J. Tomasi, recipient of the 2018 Inkpot Award for achievement in comics, is a New York Times best-selling author known not only for his writing on Superman, Batman and Robin, Super Sons, Green Lantern Corps, Batman-Detective Comics, and many more, but also as an award-winning group editor at DC Comics for 15 years where he ushered in new eras for Batman, Justice Society of America, Green Lantern, and the best-seller, Kingdom Come.
Tomasi is also the author of House of Penance, nominated for best graphic novel at 2018 Angouleme International Comic Festival, Light Brigade, The Mighty, Blood Tree, and the critically-acclaimed graphic novel The Bridge: The Building of the Brooklyn Bridge published by Abrams ComicArts. Tomasi also wrote the screenplay for the popular animated film Death of Superman, and his screenplay for The Bridge was on The Black List as one of the best unproduced Hollywood scripts of that year.
Robert Venditti is a New York Times bestselling author whose characters and stories have been adapted to film, television, animation, and video games. Some of his works include the monthly comic book series Superman ’78, Hawkman, Green Lantern, and Justice League for DC Comics, X-O Manowar and Wrath of the Eternal Warrior for Valiant Entertainment, and the graphic novel Six Days, inspired by the story of his uncle’s participation in D-Day. He has also adapted Rick Riordan’s global bestselling Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus series. His most recent projects include Ordained, Planet Death, and MrBallen Presents: Strange, Dark & Mysterious.
