Award-winning comic-book creator Brian Michael Bendis is one of the most successful writers working in mainstream
comics today. He has helmed a renaissance for Marvel’s popular Avengers franchise, writing every issue of New
Avengers and launching Avengers, Mighty Avengers and Dark Avengers. He has also written the event projects House
of M, Secret War, Secret Invasion and Siege. Bendis is one of the architects of Marvel’s Ultimate line of comics, having
written every issue of Ultimate Spider-Man since its launch in 1999, as well as Ultimate Fantastic Four, Ultimate
X-Men, Ultimate Marvel Team-Up, Ultimate Origin, Ultimate Six and the Ultimate Enemy trilogy. The introduction of
multiracial Ultimate Spider-Man Miles Morales made USA Today’s front page and went on to become a hotbed topic on
Fox News, CNN, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Howard Stern Show and more. Bendis’ creator-owned projects
include Scarlet with Alex Maleev, Brilliant with Mark Bagley, the Eisner Award-winning Powers with Mike Oeming and
the Hollywood tell-all Fortune and Glory.
David Mack submitted his first Kabuki collection while still in college as his senior writing thesis. (He got an A on the
project.) Combining innovative storytelling, painting techniques and page design, Mack has won nearly every major
comic-industry award, including the prestigious Eisner Award for BestPainter, and garnered praise from such luminaries
as Jim Steranko and The Washington Times. Marvel fans first witnessed Mack’s stylings when his covers graced the
legendary Daredevil storyline “Parts of a Hole,” which he also wrote. A few years after teaming with then-new Daredevil
writer Brian Michael Bendis on the “Wake Up” arc, he returned to the title for the “Echo: Vision Quest” storyline, which
reintroduced readers to the unique character he created in “Parts of a Hole.” Mack continues to write and illustrate his
creator-owned series Kabuki, now published by Marvel’s Icon imprint, and has been nominated for several Eisner, Kirby
and Harvey awards. He is also serving as the visual designer and co-producer on the forthcoming Kabuki feature film for
20th Century Fox.
Klaus Janson is a veteran comic book artist best known as a distinctive and respected inker, working multiple titles for
both Marvel and DC.
Bill Sienkiewicz had a major impact on the comic-book field, with his innovative blend of collage, illustration techniques
and storytelling. His influential work garnered industry-wide acclaim, and earned him nearly every major comic
book illustration award in the United States and abroad. His credits include Elektra: Assassin, for which he received the
prestigious Yellow Kid Award, and the critically acclaimed Stray Toasters, which he wrote and illustrated. In addition to
his work in the comic-book industry, Sienkiewicz has also added his talents to TV and movie projects, including the film
Unforgiven and the animated series Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, for which he received two Emmy nominations.
Sienkiewicz was also selected to produce the artwork for the critically acclaimed painted biography Voodoo
Child: The Illustrated Legend of Jimi Hendrix, published by Viking Penguin. He divides his time between comic books
and classic illustration, with his work continuing to inspire a new generation of innovative artists.
