Marques taught at the Joe Kubert School, eventually becoming the president and owner, where he collaborates with educators to guide the next generation of creators.

Story is an original member of Gaijin Studios and an inker who has contributed to Action Comics, Nightwing, Batman ’66, Legends of the Dark Knight, X-Men, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9. He has recently worked on DC’s The Multiversity: The Society of Super-Heroes: Conquerors of the Counter-World and Dark Horse’s Serentiy: Leaves on the Wind.

Tomasi is a writer and editor best known for his work at DC Comics. He began his career editing Green Lantern, Batman, Aquaman, Hawkman, and JSA before becoming a Senior Editor. Later, Tomasi moved from editing to writing full-time and took over Batman and Robin with issue 20. He helmed new volumes of Batman and Robin, Green Lantern Corps, and JSA. He is the author of creator-owned titles like House of Penance, Light Brigade, The Mighty, Blood Tree, and The Bridge: How the Roeblings Connected Brooklyn to New York. Tomasi was among the writers and artists who formed the creator-owned Ghost Machine, where he has written The Rocketfellers and Hornsby & Halo.

Williams was an assistant editor on the Spider-Man group of books, then was a background artist on Alpha Flight, The Hulk, Superman, and Action Comics. He inked Web of Spider-Man, and Marvel books like Silver Surfer, She-Hulk, Warlock, Quasar, Star Trek, and X-Men. His work at Dark Horse included The Mask, Walter, and Star Wars Droids; at DC he worked on Superman and Lobo/Mask graphic novel; and for Valiant he was on Quantum and Woody and X-O Manowar. Williams is also known for The Phantom, The Kolchak Night Stalker Chronicles, Buckaroo Banzai, Lady Death, Max Brooks’ Harlem Hellfighters graphic novel, and Thor the Worthy one-shot.

“These are seasoned comics industry veterans,” Baltimore Comic-Con show promoter Marc Nathan said. “They have worked on an enormous number of titles and issues across a broad array of publishers. Collectors will undoubtedly have something any one of these creators has had a hand in, and you’ll want to seek them out at the show this September!”
