Neal Adams
Writer/artist, Batman, Green Lantern/Green Arrow

Neal Adams had legendary runs on Batman, X-Men, Green Lantern/Green Arrow, and Deadman. He rescued Batman from the campy TV show and transformed him into his present “Avenger of the Night” persona. When people say “modern Batman,” they mean Neal Adams’s Batman. His run led directly to the realistic incarnation seen in Batman Begins and the the Dark Knight movies. His Batman: Odyssey series blasted into new horizons of the comic book medium. Adams followed Odyssey with Blood (published by Dark Horse), The First X-Men (published by Marvel), and the upcoming The Invasion of the Supermen to be published by DC.


Becky Cloonan
Artist, Killjoys; Co-writer, Gotham Academy

Becky Cloonan is best known for her work as an artist on books like Demo, with writer Brian Wood, and Killjoys, with Gerard Way and Shaun Simon. Her self-published short stories “Wolves,” “The Mire,” and “Demeter” have garnered critical acclaim as well as an Eisner Award and a British Fantasy Award. She recently moved to Gotham City, and-changing gears a little-is now writing Gotham Academy for DC Comics with co-writer Brenden Fletcher and artist Karl Kerschl. Becky also made a comic about baking zucchini bread that was a big hit on Tumblr.


Aaron Kuder
Artist, Action Comics

Aaron Kuder, the artist of Action Comics, is based in the United States, between a giant sycamore tree and a cow pasture. Day in and day out he works at drawing people in costumes, usually not getting along with someone or something. Aaron enjoys this quite a bit. He also enjoys listening to audio books and cooking food that he may or may not be able to pronounce the names of. Aaron got his start in comics in late 2010/early 2011, and he is pretty sure he will never feel like he has got a handle on it. But he thinks he can live with that just fine.


Kevin Maguire
Artist, Justice League International, Guardians of the Galaxy

Kevin Maguire is an artist known primarily for his work on Justice League International (the “Bwa-Ha-ha” era). Some of the other comics work he's done in his quarter-century career include Adventures of Captain America, Guardians of the Galaxy, Batman Confidential, Defenders, Metal Men, Weird Worlds, and X-Men Forever. He's also the creator of Tanga, Strikeback, and Trinity Angels. He's currently at work on a new creator-owned project.


Dustin Nguyen
Writer/artist, Batman: Li’l Gotham, artist, Descender

Dustin Nguyen is an American comic artist whose body of work over the past 14 years includes Wildcats v3.0, The Authority Revolution, Batman, Superman/Batman, Detective Comics, Manifest Eternity, Batgirl, and Batman: Streets of Gotham, American Vampire: Lord of Nightmares, and BATMAN: Li’l Gotham written by himself and Derek Fridolfs. He is currently working with Jeff Lemire on their creator-owned series Descender, launching through Image Comics in spring of 2015.
