BALTIMORE, MARYLAND – July 3, 2012 –  The Baltimore Comic-Con is proud to announce the addition of comic legend Jim Starlin to the growing line-up of creators attending this year’s show. The 13th annual show will be taking place September 8-9, 2012 at the Baltimore Convention Center in the heart of downtown Baltimore. Starlin began his illustrious career as a writer and artist in 1972 and made a name for himself in the industry with his universe-spanning cosmic tales and space operas at Marvel Comics. In addition to revamping Marvel’s Captain Marvel and Adam Warlock, he is also the creator of Marvel’s Mad Titan, Thanos.”With the amazing success of Marvel’s The Avengers this summer, we couldn’t be more thrilled to have the creator of one of the Avenger’s most fearsome adversaries attending the show,” said Marc Nathan, show promoter of the Baltimore Comic-Con. “With Thanos set to be the next major villain in the second phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Jim Starlin is a guest that everyone is going to want to see at the show!”

Most recently, Stalin wrote and drew the seven-issue miniseries, Breed: Book of Revelation for Image Comics and The Art of Jim Starlin: A Life in Words and Images published by IDW, both in 2011.
