Reis & Prado Join Baltimore Comic-Con 2013 Line-Up

Press Release:
The Baltimore Comic-Con is thrilled to announce the addition of artists Ivan Reis and Joe Prado to the growing line-up of talent attending this year’s show. The show will take place the weekend of September 7-8, 2013 at the Baltimore Convention Center.
Brazilian artist Ivan Reis began his career in American comics in 1996 working on the Dark Horse series, Ghost, beginning with issue 17. After stints on The Mask, Time Cop, and Xena: Warrior Princess, he left Dark Horse to work on several Lady Death mini-series at Chaos! and several fill-in issues at Marvel and DC Comics. While having worked on several books for both Marvel and DC, including Captain Marvel, Avengers, Rann/Thanagar War, and Infinite Crisis, he s most widely-known for this work with Geoff Johns on Green Lantern and Blackest Night. After the launch of DC’s New 52, he worked with Johns again on the relaunch of Aquaman and has since taken over art duties on Justice League.
Joe Prado, who also hails from Brazil, broke into the American comic scene in 2004 while sharing art duties with Reis on DC Comics’ Action Comics. Since then, Prado has worked on such DC titles as Superman, Teen Titans, Birds of Prey, and Rann/Thanagar War (again working with Reis). His work has also been featured on the covers of such Dynamite Entertainment books as Red Sonja and Battlestar Galactica. His most recent work includes covers for DC Comics’ Resurrection Man, Aquaman, and Earth 2.
“We are so pleased to have both Ivan and Joe joining us here in Baltimore this year,” said Marc Nathan, Show Promoter of the Baltimore Comic-Con. “Their art has graced the pages of some of the best comics published in the last decade, and their art styles have helped shape the look and feel of the modern DC Universe.”
In addition to Reis and Prado, other confirmed guests for the show include: Mark Buckingham (Fables); Frank Cho (Savage Wolverine); J.M. DeMatteis (Phantom Stranger); Dave Gibbons (The Secret Service); Keith Giffen (Masters of the Universe); Adam Hughes (Before Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan); Barry Kitson (Empire); Paul Levitz (World’s Finest); Kevin Maguire (World’s Finest); Mike Mignola (Hellboy In Hell); George Perez (World’s Finest); David Petersen (Mouse Guard); Chris Samnee (Daredevil); Louise Simonson (X-Factor); Walt Simonson (The Mighty Thor); Allison Sohn (sketch card artist); and Mark Waid (Indestructible Hulk).
In the coming weeks, look for more announcements from the Baltimore Comic-Con. We are looking forward to highlighting our guests, the Harvey Awards, industry exclusives, and programming. The latest developments can always be found on our website, Twitter, and Facebook pages.

EGOT Winner Whoopi Goldberg signs on January 15, 2011 at 4:30pm.
AUTOGRAPHING: Is it just us – or can you just not wait to meet Whoopi? Whoopi Goldberg, the Academy Award winning actress, comedian, and host of TV’s The View signs copies of her books, Is It Just Me? and the latest book in her children’s series, Sugar Plum Ballerinas: Terrible Terrel (Disney, $4.99). In Is It Just Me?: Or Is It Nuts Out There?, she unleashes her trademark irreverence and humor in this look at how a loss of civility is messing with the quality of life for everyone.
In Terrible Terrel, Terrel is always in charge, but things get weird when her dad surprises Terrel with his new girlfriend during a night out at the ballet – a night that was supposed to be father-daughter time. Now, with some help from her Sugar Plum ballet friends, Terrel takes charge of breaking up her father’s new relationship.
Book purchase required. You must buy Whoopi’s books from Books & Books to enter the signing line. Hold on to your receipt, please! You’ll be asked to show the receipt to enter the line. No memorabilia. To accommodate as many people as possible in the signing line please arrive early. Line opens at 3pm. 4:30-5:30pm
