Andy Kuhn & B. Clay Moore to attend Phoenix Comicon
Andy Kuhn has been a professional comics artist since 1994. He has worked for every major American publisher and many smaller ones as well. His titles have included Marvel Adventures, Spider-Man Unlimited and Marvel Team Up (Marvel Comics), Blue Beetle, The Flash, Young Justice, and The Joker: Last Laugh (DC Comics).
“When I heard the artist of such classics as Flash, Spider-Man and Blue Beetle was coming on board for the Phoenix ComiCon, I about hyperventilated! Have you seen this guy’s art?” Anabel Martinez, Marketing Director for the Phoenix Comicon, excitedly stated.
With writer Phil Hester he co-created Firebreather, the critically acclaimed succession of miniseries for Image Comics. Firebreather is currently being adapted into an hour and a half long CGI animated movie of the week for Cartoon Network which will act as a pilot for a potential animated series. Andy Kuhn is also currently at work on a new Firebreather mini-series for summer release.
Matt Solberg, Convention Director said, “I’ve had a burning need to discuss Firebreather with Mr. Kuhn. Get it? Burning!”
Other recent works by Kuhn include the crime drama Easy Way (IDW), Keith Giffen's violent opus 10 (Boom Studios), Robert Kirkman's high tech super-spy Brit (Image), and the short lived series Rex Mantooth: Kung Fu Gorilla with writer Matt Fraction.
In a 2008 interview with Newsarama, Mr. Kuhn said, “I have always loved making comics. It's all I've really ever wanted to do.”
His clients outside of comics have included RCA, GE, Blizzard Entertainment, Cartoon Network, and Upperdeck Entertainment.
Phoenix Comicon is the signature pop culture event of the southwest, presenting guests and programming for hobbyists and fans by attracting the top segments of the comics, anime, sci-fi, film, TV, and gaming industries. Entering its ninth year, Phoenix Comicon is expected to draw over 10,000+ attendees to its May 27-30, 2010 convention held at the Phoenix Convention Center and Hyatt Regency located in downtown Phoenix.

IDW and YOE Books Launch The Complete Milt Gross Comic Books and Life Story

IDW and YOE Books Launch The Complete Milt Gross Comic Books and Life Story
“Milt Gross is ‘one of the best things to ever happen to comic strips,’ proclaims comics historian Bill Blackbeard.” With his most recent book, famed creator Craig Yoe (Secret Identity) and IDW Publishing prove just that. The Complete Milt Gross Comic Books and Life Story, which Yoe meticulously compiled from original art, rare and vintage comics, research and interviews, offers fans unique insight into this historic creator, topped off with an introduction by Gross’s son, Herb, and a FOLD-INtroduction by MAD Magazine’s Al Jaffe. IDW and Yoe are proud to offer this book just in time for Gross’s 115th birthday.
Available in comic stores today and book stores next week, The Complete Milt Gross Comic Books and Life Story is a testament to Gross’s influence on both comics and pop culture, as one of the first mainstream Jewish cartoonists and a pioneer of comic strips, graphic novels, animation and more. Throughout his incredible career, Gross created comic strips and cartoons, wrote screenplays and novels, and created fine art. Gross even crossed into Hollywood, working with Charlie Chaplin and Joan Crawford, and designing sets for movies featuring Bing Crosby, Betty Hutton and others.
“Milt Gross is the number one, most hilarious comic book artist,” said Yoe. “And his art style is as modern as tomorrow. It’s a thrill to present this wacky, bizarre, genius material.”
The beautifully designed book collects the complete comic book stories of this comic genius, culled from rare, impossible to track down comic books of the ‘40s, which have been painstakingly restored, plus an in-depth look at Gross’s life. At 354 pages, CartoonBrew.com called The Complete Milt Gross Comic Books and Life Story “massive” and “an absolute must-have.”
The Complete Milt Gross Comic Books and Life Story is the latest great book from the IDW imprint, YOE Books, edited, designed and written by Yoe, winner of both an Eisner Award and the Society of Illustrator's Gold Medal. Coming next from YOE Books is Krazy & Ignatz in Tiger Tea, presenting George Herriman at his best in his only full-length “Krazy & Ignatz” story, available in stores on March 17th. Vice Magazine has deemed Yoe “The Indiana Jones of Comics Historians.”
Yoe is available for interviews regarding this and other books.
The Complete Milt Gross Comic Books and Life Story ($39.99, 386 pages, hardcover) is now available in stores. Diamond order code OCT09 0994. ISBN 978-1600105463.
