Baltimore Comic-Con's First Annual Yearbook!
 BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - September 4, 2012 - The
Baltimore Comic-Con is proud to announce the first Baltimore Comic-Con
Yearbook, celebrating the creators appearing at the show. This book of
art features some of our guests interpreting the Liberty Meadows
characters, sometimes in conjunction with their own creations, in a
celebration of creator-owned properties.
As
a bonus, we have a scavenger hunt of sorts. When you buy the book,
you'll get a list of our 36 contributors and their table numbers. Get 15
of them to sign it, and come back to the booth for your choice of an
added print by either Joseph Michael Linsner or Barry Kitson. Get 20
signatures and receive BOTH prints!
Liberty Meadows
was created by Frank Cho and first published in 1997, launching in
newspapers internationally. This year marks the 15th anniversary of Liberty Meadows, having seen print in book, comic strip, and digital formats. "Frank
has always been a fan and a friend of the Baltimore Comic-Con," said
Marc Nathan, show promoter for the Baltimore Comic-Con. "We are very
thankful to Frank for his willingness to trust his characters with our
other guests and friends, as well as his continued support of the
Baltimore Comic-Con."
The art created for the 2012 Baltimore Comic-Con Yearbook celebrating 15 years of Frank Cho's Liberty Meadows
will be auctioned at this special event! Don't miss this opportunity to
own original art featuring Frank's characters as depicted by artists
including Frank Quitely, Brandon Peterson, Gene Ha, David Petersen,
Bernard Chang, Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, Tom Raney, Billy Tucci, Steve
Conley, Thom Zahler, Craig Rousseau, Frank Cho, and many others!
The
book will be sold, and the art auction will be held in our Main hall,
in Booths #2505-2507. The auction will commence following the Stan
Lee/John Romita panel, at approximately 5:45pm. The book will be
available at the Baltimore Comic-Con for $20.
