Sean Chen has been a major part of the comic book industry for three decades. Starting with Valiant Comics, his debut book, Rai And the Future Force, topped the charts with over 800,000 copies sold. He then moved on to Harbinger and Bloodshot before landing on their flagship title X-O Manowar.
In the mid-nineties, Sean found a new home at Marvel where he started what would become the longest and most remembered run of his career, working on Iron Man. For the next decade, he had his hands on a number of their titles, including Wolverine, X-Men, Spider-Man, Nova, and The Avengers.
Sean’s latest project is writing and drawing his epic sci-fi comic called Evermind for 247 Comics, which debuted with an ultra-successful Kickstarter campaign.

Artist/writer/creator Michael Golden is a legend in the comic book industry, but one that has never stopped adding to his legacy as a storytelling professional. Co-creator of the X-Men‘s Rogue character, Spartan X, and Bucky O’Hare, Michael is known worldwide for his groundbreaking work on The ‘Nam, Micronauts, G.I. Joe Yearbook, and Dr. Strange, among much more, and is counted as one of the best cover designers and illustrators in the business. Golden’s work can be seen on covers from The Walking Dead, Civil War, Rom, Micronauts, Spawn, Nightwing, Iron Man, Heroes for Hire, Exiles, Demon’s Regret, Spider-Man, Vampirella, Captain America, The Punisher, and The Hulk, as well as numerous other titles for about every company out there. His zombie art is routinely used in conjunction with popular properties on TV and in print. Recent books covering the colorful life and amazing art of Michael Golden include a manga version of the Bucky O’Hare series as well as the top selling art retrospective Excess: The Art of Michael Golden, written by Renee Witterstaetter, which sold out and has gone into a second printing, as well as his recent sketchbooks Heroes and Villains, MORE Heroes and Villains, Michael Golden: Alchemy, and Michael Golden: Dangerous Curves. Michael has served as an Editor at DC Comics as well as Senior Art Director at Marvel Comics, and has worked on scores of movie production projects, some currently in development. His art has been the focus of gallery shows in places as diverse as Gijon, Barcelona, New York, Antwerp, and Brussels, while his class on storytelling has been conducted in Spain, Brussels, France, Canada, the United States, and, most recently, China. He has recently been awarded with Lifetime Achievement Awards from The University of Maryland Eastern Shore and the Lille Arts Festival, with gallery shows of his work in Spain, New York, Maryland and Moscow, and many points in between.
Jamie Jameson has worked on the comic of American Gods (Dark Horse Comics) – photography, layouts, and has portrayed many of the female characters, including Laura Moon and Zorya P.
Ms. Jameson has worked on covers for The Metal Men (DC Comics), Deja Thoris (Dynamite Comics), and Dreadstar graphic novels with Thanos creator Jim Starlin among many comics-related projects. She has a few creator-owned projects in the works currently as well.
She sells prints of her photography and wood sculptures during show appearances quite frequently. She is an avid writer and enjoys writing short horror stories. She has completed several music projects, including Marine Snow and James Jameson. This is in addition to her taking care of her dog, her cats, and, of course, her famous ducks.
Speaking of her ducks…stop by the booth and ask how you can support the care of her ducks and walk away with collectible items worth about double you donation to her WEBFOOTED WONDERS.
John Malin is publisher of Graveyard Shift and writer/artist of Godlike: The Romulus Saga. Previous work includes Youngblood, Marvel’s Thunderbolts, and Cable. People’s champ. Future Khan.
Anthony Marques, a graduate of the prestigious Joe Kubert School, launched his career as an editor at DC Comics and Dynamite Entertainment before transitioning to a full-time freelance artist. Driven by a passion for the medium, he has brought fresh and innovative perspectives to his work on iconic characters for publishers like DC Comics and Dynamite, including Batman, Superman, the Green Hornet, and the Ghostbusters. Beyond his contributions to these major publishers, Anthony also taught at the Joe Kubert School, eventually becoming its president and owner. In this role, he collaborates with other educators to mentor and cultivate the next generation of comic book creators.
Arthur Suydam, “The Zombie King”, rose to stardom for his work on the smash hit series Marvel Zombies. The POPs world have been taken over by his rendition of the Marvel Zombies as well! He is also renowned as the Deadpool cover artist on Merc with a Mouth as well as DCeased, Black Panther, and The Walking Dead. And he is credited as being one of the first artists to bring fine art painting techniques to the world of comics in such books as Cholly and Flytrap and Mudwogs. Recent awards for Arthur include The Spike TV Scream Award (Best Artist), Spectrum Gold Award for Institutional Art, The San Sebastian Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award, as well as the University of Maryland Eastern Shore Lifetime Achievement Award, among others. His work can also be seen on works for DCeased, The Walking Dead, Deadpool, Batman, Wolverine, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Ghost Rider, Army of Darkness, Vampirella, and too many to name here. His Cholly and Flytrap series has recently been compiled into a collected volume, marking that story’s place in comic history.
