“We are extremely pleased to announce, courtesy of Dynamite Entertainment, the return of superstar artist John Cassaday to the Baltimore Comic-Con in 2014,” said show promoter Marc Nathan in a release.

From Desperadoes to Planetary, and from Astonishing X-Men to Doc Savage, Cassaday’s art has won acclaim (and numerous awards). He will be signing at the Dynamite Entertainment booth at the Baltimore Comic-Con.

“It’s been a number of years since we’ve had John at the show,” said Nathan, promoter of the Baltimore Comic-Con. “His work is so iconic and recognizable, and he’s so popular with the fans, we’re thrilled to have him!”

The show will be held September 5-7, 2014 at the Baltimore Convention Center, a short walk from the famous, tourist-friendly Inner Harbor area and immediately across the street from the historic Camden Yards sports complex and Geppi’s Entertainment Museum.

It’s the first three-day show for the long running, comic-centric event.
