Tim Sale

Tim Sale is an Eisner Award-winning comic book artist.
He is perhaps best known for his comic work with collaborator Jeph Loeb. The duo produced popular work such as Batman: The Long Halloween, and Batman Dark Victory for DC, and comics starring characters such as Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Hulk for Marvel.
Tim’s artwork has also appeared on the television programme Heroes, primarily in the form of the fictional comic book 9th Wonders!

Richard Starkings

An Eisner Award-winning comic creator and founder of the Comicraft design and lettering studio.
Richard is the creator of Hip Flask, The Elephantmen and his semi-autobiographical comic strip, Hedge Backwards. Born and raised in England, Starkings worked for five years at Marvel UK’s London office as an editor, designer and occasional writer or Ziods, Ghostbusters, Transformers and the Doctor Who comic strip.
Today he is perhaps best known for his work with the award-winning (and revolutionary) Comicraft, which he founded in 1992 with John ‘JG’ Roshell. Starkings & Roshell also co-authored the best-selling books Comic Book Lettering, The Comicraft Way and Tim Sale: Black and White.

Adam Hughes

Probably best known for the striking cover artwork he provides for the comic book industry.
Over the course of his 20+ plus years working as a professional artist, Adam’s art has graced the covers of such well-known titles as Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Tomb Raider, as well as the interiors of books like Justice League of America, Legion of Superheroes, Maze Agency, and Ghost, to name a few.
Adam’s ability to render characters both naturalistically and with style and humor, have made him a one-of-a-kind in the industry. His illustrations have been featured as statues and graced with awards, both Harvey and Eisner. You can see a retrospective of Adam’s DC Comics career in the recently published coffee table book, Cover Run: The DC Comics Art of Adam Hughes.

Esad Ribic

Esad Ribic is a Croatian artist born in 1972. Working in comics since the early ’90s, he’s spent most of his time on Marvel titles.
His credits include LokiSilver Surfer: Requiem, and Sub-Mariner: Depths.

Gail Simone

An American comic book writer, perhaps best known for penning DC’s Birds of Prey. Her other notable works include Secret Six, The All New Atom and Deadpool. In 2011 she became the writer for Batgirl as well as co-writer for The Fury of Firestorm.
Simone first came to fan attention with her website, Women in Refrigerators, listing many instances in which female comic book characters were the victims of violent attacks because of their gender, or whose attacks were used as plot device for a male character.
In 2009, Gail received the Friends of Lulu – Hall of Fame Award, and is a several-time nominee for the GLAAD award for portrayals of LGBT characters.

Jeff Lemire

A Canadian comic artist and writer whose work has been nominated for an Ignatz, a Harvey, and two Eisner Awards.
After self-publishing the Xeric Award-winning comic book Lost Dogs in 2005 via his Ashtray Press imprint, he produced the Eisner and Harvey Award-nominated Essex County for Top Shelf in 2008–2009.
In 2009 DC/Vertigo published Jeff’s The Nobody, a two-colour tale of identity, fear and paranoia in a small community. Lemire is currently writing and drawing the acclaimed post-apocalyptic DC/Vertigo series Sweet Tooth, and, following his relaunch of the Superboy series, is now writing the ongoing series Animal Man and Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E.
