Special Guests
Jeff Smith is best known as the creator of the self-published comic book series Bone, an independent, award-winning, comic series. In 1991, Smith launched his company, Cartoon Books, in order to publish the series. He published a whopping 55 issues of Bone between 1991 and 2004 which proved very popular. In 2003, he worked for DC Comics on a miniseries starring Captain Marvel, entitled Shazam! The Monster Society of Evil, which was published in four prestige format issues in 2007, and later collected into a hardcover edition. He's a incredibly talented artist and writer and we are very excited to welcome him to RobCon 2023!
RobCon 2023 is excited to announce the addition of world-renowned artist Charles Vess to our list of special guests. Charles is primarily a fantasy and comics artist who has specialized in the illustration of myths and fairy tales. His career includes covers and illustrations for Spider-Man, Stephen Spielberg's Hook, and Swamp Thing. His collaborations with author Neil Gaiman have produced works such as the Books of Magic and Sandman, as well as the award-winning novel Stardust. His Green Man Press has published a series of comics under the name The Book of Ballads and Songs with contributions from Gaiman and others such as Jeff Smith, Emma Bull and Charles de Lint. He's also a great guy and a long time friend and we're very excited to welcome him, once again, to RobCon 2023!
