A few of the creators working on the new Gold Key character books from Dark Horse will be at San Diego Comic-Con, here’s the complete info.
Dennis Calero
Dennis did the art for the Doctor Solar portion of Free Comic Book Day Magnus/Doctor Solar, as well as Doctor Solar 1 and 2. I’m not sure yet if he will be returning after issue 3, but I will certainly be asking him.
Dennis will be in Artist Alley booth FF-05. He is also scheduled to be signing at the Dark Horse Comics booth (#2615) on Thursday from 4-5pm.
Roger Robinson
Roger is drawing the upcoming third issue of Doctor Solar. I’ll be stopping by his booth to get his take on the character, and see if I can find out what is in store for upcoming issues.
Roger will be in Artist Alley booth DD-20
Raymond Swanland
Raymond has been painting the incredible covers for Magnus, Robot Fighter, and Turok, Son of Stone. He also did the cover art for the Free Comic Book Day Magnus/Doctor Solar issue.
Raymond doesn’t have a booth, but is scheduled to sign at the Dark Horse Comics booth (#2615) Friday from 4-5pm. He will also appear at the Heavy Metal Magazine booth (#1629) and the Wizards of the Coast, Magic the Gathering booth (#1128/1130/1132) at times during the weekend.
M.I.A.
Looks like Jim Shooter won’t be making it to San Diego Comic-Con.
Also, Bill Reinhold, the artist for the new Magnus, Robot Fighter series isn’t going to make it this year.
That’s too bad, I was hoping to get the Free Comic Book Day Magnus/Doctor Solar issue signed by all 4 creators. Maybe at another con.
Valiant Alumni
Bernard Chang and Sean Chen will be in their BLVD Studios booth (#1223). Both were great Valiant artists, Sean Chen is well known for his work on Rai and the Future Force, Bernard Chang is well known for his work on Dr. Mirage. They will also have Bill Sienkiewicz and David LaFuente at their BLVD Studios booth. Stop by annd say hi!
Bob Layton will be at the convention, though I don’t know when his scheduled appearances and signings are. He does not have an artist alley booth this year.
Don’t forget us!
Only The Valiant will be recording LIVE from the convention floor, startign Friday at 2:30pm. Check out the recording schedule and map posting for more information.
Any other creators that we missed? Leave a comment and let us know.

Sorry to disappoint Sean but Magnus is keeping me homebound this year.
I don’t know too much about it and I’m not hawking it, but the guys at http://www.dark-key.com/projects.html are in some way making available signed issues of the FCBD book.
Of course I’ll sign anything if you want to send it.
Thanks for your support!

Thanks for stopping by, Bill!
Hopefully I’ll meet you at a con down the line, and hopefully Magnus is a great success!
I’ll have to check out the Dark Key project, and find out what they are up to.
