David Finch - appearing at Windsor, Ontario Christmas Comic Con Dec. 1st 2013


As we count down to now less than 100 days until Christmas Comic Con 2 (it's 97 days, in fact, for those scoring at home) we take time today to peruse the work of special guest - Mr. David Finch.

A gentleman hailing from the very same Essex County stomping grounds that most of us live, Finch began his career at Top Cow Productions in 1995 before moving on to Marvel Comics and his eventual present employer, DC Comics. As such, he has worked on an illustrious list of iconic characters during that time, including Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, the X-Men, Daredevil, the Hulk, the Avengers and Moon Knight (to name but a small sampling).

In 2009, Finch was awarded the prestigious Joe Shuster Award for Outstanding Artist for his outstanding work on the comic books Ultimatum #1-2 for Marvel Comics.

We can't express how happy we are to have Dave with us this year, and thank him for taking time from his busy schedule - including working on DC Comics upcoming "Forever Evil" arch - to be with all of us this December 1st for the Christmas Comic Con! Welcome again, Mr. David Finch.

Announcing special guest - longtime Marvel Comics/DC Comics artist - Mr. Arvell Jones!

It is my sincere pleasure to announce the latest addition to the December 1st Christmas Comic Con 2 guest list - a man whose career first began in the mid-1970s at Marvel Comics, where not only did he work on such titles as Marvel Premiere (with Iron Fist); Deathlok; Thor; Iron Man; Luke Cage; The Avengers; Daredevil; Captain America and more (including co-creating the character Misty Knight) - but later, went on to work for DC Comics as penciller for titles such as Super-Team Family and All-Star Squadron (where he enjoyed a two-year run). 

He's also worked in television, the internet development sector and is also Adjunct Faculty in the Illustration Department at Detroit's College For Creative Studies. This gentleman has also taught and mentored artists for 15 years with another of his co-creations, the Comic Art Workshop - not to mention he'll soon be returning to comics with two indy titles slated for release. 

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to welcome Mr. Arvell Jones as the latest guest of Christmas Comic Con 2. Check out a sampling of his fine work below - and meet him Dec. 1st at the St. Clair Centre for the Arts in Windsor, ON, as Windsor Comic Cons (in partnership with St. Clair College) present Christmas Comic Con 2!

Fully-functional R2-D2 unit and other cool Star Wars props to be part of C3-2!

Christmas Comic Con 2 wouldn't be the same without Mr. David Pemberton and his pal, R2 D2 (not to mention David's other super-cool Star Wars props). This duo really helped make last year's show even more fun, and we're proud to welcome David (and his WORKING R2-unit) back for C3-2! A treat for young and old alike.
