Legends, Award Winners, And Fan Favorites: Creators At Comic Con Palm Springs

Previously, I wrote about panel spotlights for this week’s Comic Con Palm Springs, which will be held from August 25th to August 27th. Also at the convention, they have invited a solid group of comic creators to the show. As mentioned before, fans will have the opportunity to meet big names Rob Liefeld of Deadpool fame and legend Stan Lee.  Also in attendance will be Humberto Ramos, who is currently the artist for Marvel’s Champions and fan favorite Katie Cook, who has worked on IDW’s My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and her creator-owned work Gronk: A Monster’s Story. In addition to these talented artists and writers, I wanted to spotlight a few other creators who will be tabling at the con.
