Press Release
Charlotte, NC-- There IS strength in numbers! Especially when either of these guys would be a great draw (pun intended) on their own! So, it IS a triple play as Michael Golden, Mark Texeira and Steve Scott converge on the ever popular Heroes Charlotte Convention June 19-21 with plenty of comics, books and prints in tow!
Michael Golden is without a doubt a household name in the world of comics and sequential art, with past work on "The 'Nam," "Bucky O'Hare" and "The Micronauts" still garnering accolades, and recent work on "X-Men" and "Hulk" at Marvel continuing to draw notice! In addition, his recent art book, "Excess: The Art of Michael Golden," from Vanguard Productions sold out this year, going into a second printing! While, Golden is also the focus of a new DVD from Woodcrest Productions/Eva Ink entitled "Creator Chronicles: Michael Golden," featuring over six hours of material on the creator responsible for Co-creating Rogue, Bucky O'Hare and Spartan X. Look for his work on the "G.I. Joe" redux coming soon as well, just in time for the movie! Both "Excess" and the new DVD will be available at Charlotte.
Mark Texeira is world-renowned for his sequential art on "Black Panther," "Ghost Rider," "Moonknight," and his creator-owned property, "Pscythe."
You no doubt has seen his name on works relating to recent movies including "Wolverine Origins," and "Ghost Rider" as well (Look for his interview on the DVD!). Fresh from a gallery show at the august Society of Illustrators in Manhattan, Mark is currently working on a new "Punisher" mini-series for Marvel. His new art book, "Tex: The Art of Mark Texeira--The Artist's Great Escape," from Vanguard Productions is scheduled to debut at the San Diego Comic Con in July.
Steve Scott is known to his fans for his popular work on "Razor," "Indiana Jones," and "JLA," and has the distinction of being the only artist tapped to do any work related to "Batman Dark Knight." Steve's comic work appears in the DVD of the movie currently in release. In addition, you can see Steve's recent work on the upcoming "X-Men Forever" with writer Chris Claremont. Recently returned from a European Tour, Steve is slated for more appearances both internationally and domestically.
The Heroes Convention was founded in 1982 by Shelton Drum, owner of Charlotte's Heroes Aren't Hard To Find comics shop. Since then the convention has become famous for its comics-first and family-friendly atmosphere, where fans can mingle directly with professionals and exhibitors. Boasting an incredible guest list built mainly on reputation and goodwill, HeroesCon is known nationwide as a "must" on the summer schedule, drawing fans, exhibitors, and creators from every region of the country to the Charlotte Convention Center.
Heroes Charlotte takes place June 19-21 in Charlotte, NC.
