2016 GUEST OF HONOR: KEVIN EASTMAN
The Baltimore Comic-Con is proud to
announce our 2016 Guest of Honor,
Kevin Eastman.
Kevin Eastman, collaborating with Peter
Laird, self-published the first black & white
issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in May,
1984 under their Mirage Studios banner. The
40-page over-sized comic had an initial print
run of 3,000 copies, but received 3 additional
printings within the next year and a half.
Their second issue brought in advance orders
of 15,000 copies - five times the initial print
run of the first issue. By their fifth issue, TMNT
was reformatted to the “normal” American
comics size, and the previous four issues
were reprinted to match with new color
covers. With the Turtles’ growing success
and exposure, the property was licensed
to numerous parties, including Dark Horse
Miniatures, Palladium Books for an RPG, and
First Comics, who reprinted the first eleven
issues as 4-color trade paperback collections.
Palladium’s RPG brought the Turtles to the
attention of a noted licensing agent, and the
Turtles phenomenon took off, with the various
characters soon appearing on t-shirts, Halloween
masks, and coffee mugs, just to name a few.
In December, 1987, a five-part televised TMNT
cartoon mini-series debuted. Due to its success,
this cartoon mini-series led to follow-on seasons
that resulted in a run of 9 years over 10 seasons
Kevin’s wonderful cover art for this year’s
Baltimore Comic-Con program book.

with one of Tundra’s stated aims being to bring
a more adult sensibility to comics, Eastman
purchased the magazine in January 1992.
In 1993, Eastman sold Tundra Publishing to
Kitchen Sink Press but maintained ownership
of Heavy Metal, which he continues to edit.
He continues to work in comics for IDW
Publishing, writing Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe,
Fistful of Blood, and Hero Comics: A Hero
Initiative Benefit Book, drawing Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Kevin Eastman
Notebook Series and variant covers for TMNT
titles such as TMNT: Bebop & Rocksteady
Destroy Everything, and reprints of his past
work is featured in IDW’s TMNT Color Classics,
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The IDW
Collection, and TMNT collections. He has also
provided variant covers for DC’s Batman/
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
with 194 episodes in total. The ongoing success
of the animated series also led to yet further
merchandise sales, and new action figures and
licensing agreements.
In 1990, Eastman went on to found Tundra
Publishing, which enabled him to meet his own
projects as well as those of creators looking for
a way to publish independent work. Titles that
eventually found their way under the Tundra
banner include From Hell, Lost Girls, The Crow,
American Splendor, and Madman. Discovering
that Heavy Metal had been put up for sale, and
Where it all began.
“This is really exciting for us,” said Marc
Nathan, promoter of the Baltimore Comic-Con.
“We’ve been hoping to line this up for some
time now, and thanks to our friends at IDW
Publishing, we can finally put this one in the
books. Kevin is one of the people we hear about
regularly, with fans asking us if we can bring
him to the show. We’re thrilled we can finally
answer, ‘Yes!’”

REMEMBERING VIENG “VINO” KETTHAVONG
On March 5th, we lost our friend Vieng “Vino” Ketthavong when he
passed away quietly in his sleep.
Vino was far too young, and taken away from us far too soon. We
will all miss his smiling face, the way he greeted fans, escorted
guests, and helping in any way he could. Even when his treatment
slowed him down, he would still call all of us to keep our spirits up
and make us laugh.
The Baltimore Comic-Con was privileged and honored to have Vino
part of our family. He will forever be a part of us.

VIVEK J. TIWARY RETURNS TO
HOST THE 2016 HARVEY AWARDS!
On Saturday night, September 3rd, the comic
book industry, including professionals, retailers,
and fans, will gather at the Hyatt Regency
Baltimore to honor the 2016 Harvey Award
Nominees for 2015 comic work and present the
Harveys to their recipients. This is an exciting
evening, highlighted by our return host Vivek J.
Tiwary, a #1 New York Times bestselling author,
Tony Award-winning Broadway producer,
and the founder of multi-platform arts and
entertainment company Tiwary Entertainment
Group.
Host Vivek J. Tiwary’s graphic novel, The Fifth
Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story (Dark Horse
Comics), is based on the untold life story of
Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein. On October 25,
2016, Dark Horse Comics will be publishing a
special trade paperback Expanded Edition of
The Fifth Beatle, featuring never-before-seen
art, essays and more. Written by Tiwary, with
art by Andrew C. Robinson and Kyle Baker, it
received worldwide critical acclaim and won a
number of prestigious literary awards, including
two Harvey Awards (Best Original Graphic Novel
and Best Biographical, Historical, or Journalistic
Presentation) and the Will Eisner Comic Industry
Award for Best Reality-Based Work. It is a
Lambda Literary Finalist for Best LGBT Graphic
Novel, an American Library Association Great
graphic novel series from bestselling authorillustrator Dave Roman (Agnes Quill), with
plans to turn the books into both a live-action
TV series and a film franchise, and talks are
underway with writers, networks, and studios to
adapt the coming-of-age adventure story set at
a fantastical space station school.

Graphic Novel for Teens, and has been added
to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Library and
Archives Permanent Collection. The Fifth Beatle
is now being adapted into a multi-part TV event
series that has secured unprecedented access to
Beatles music. Vivek will be adapting his work
for television and serving as executive producer.
Vivek’s illustrated Young Adult novel Asha
Ascending, with art by the award-winning
Sara Richard (My Little Pony, Jem and The
Holograms, Ghostbusters) is currently
being serialized chapter-by-chapter free
at AshaAscending.com. Taking place in a nearfuture where surgical implants access a virtual
Internet, Asha Ascending follows teenage coder
Asha Rai as she helps irresponsible party-boy
Hal Haven save his mother’s life, while they race
against an evil faction to unlock the code to
immortality.
“Hosting last year’s Harvey Awards was the best
night of my life in comics,” said Tiwary, “I got to
introduce beloved luminaries like Jules Feiffer
and the late Darwyn Cooke, while honoring the
creators of today’s most inspiring work. But to
quote Al Pacino -- ‘I’m just getting warmed up!’
See you in Baltimore!”
Vivek has also just acquired the TV and film
rights to Astronaut Academy, the middle-grade
AL JAFFEE TO RECEIVE HARVEY
KURTZMAN HALL OF FAME AWARD
The Baltimore Comic-Con will once again host
the Harvey Awards on the evening of September
3, 2016. We are privileged to announce the
addition of legendary MAD Magazine creator and
industry luminary Al Jaffee for a special panel
at the Baltimore Comic-Con and bestowal of the
Harvey Kurtzman Hall of Fame Award.
Al Jaffee, MAD Magazine cartoonist and creator
of the celebrated fold-in cover, is a Guinness
World Record holder with the longest career
of a comics artist (over 73 years!). His early
career was spent as an artist for Timely Comics
and Atlas Comics, and later again working
for Stan Lee again as an editor on Timely’s
humor and teenage comics, including the Patsy
Walker titles. His syndicated strip, Tall Tales,
was collected and published by Abrams in
2008, winning the 2009 Harvey Award for Best
Cartoonist and the Special Award for Humor
in Comics. After time spent at MAD Magazine,
22
he followed Harvey Kurtzman to Trump and
Humbug, the former of which was recently
collected and reprinted by Dark Horse. After both
efforts folded, Jaffee returned to MAD Magazine,
where he continues to provide fold-in covers to
this day.
His work can be most recently be found in Tall
Tales from Abrams (2008), the MAD Fold-In
Collection 1964-2010 from Chronicle Books
(2011) and Al Jaffee’s Mad Life by Mary-Lou
Weisman (and illustrations by Al Jaffee) from
HarperCollins (2010).
Al has received numerous awards that celebrate
his long career. He was inducted into the Society
of Illustrators Hall of Fame in 2014, and the Will
Eisner Hall of Fame in 2013. He has received the
Reuben Award from the National Cartoonists
Society in 2008 as well as their Humor Comic
Book Award in 1979. He was also Best Cartoonist
in 2001 for his
work on MAD
Magazine. He
has received the
Sergio Award
from the Comic
Art Professional
Society and the
Inkpot Award at
the San Diego
Comic-Con.
“This is such a
huge honor,” said Marc Nathan, promoter of the
Baltimore Comic-Con. “Not only to have such a
giant among giants of the comics field at the
show, but to be able to celebrate his storied
career and contributions to the industry at the
Harvey Awards ceremony. We’re exceptionally
proud, and fans won’t want to miss his panel
Saturday at the show!”

HERO INITIATIVE ANNOUNCES JOE GIELLA AS

The Hero
Initiative, the
charitable
organization
dedicated
to helping
veteran comic
creators in
medical or
financial
need, announces Joe Giella as the 2016 Lifetime
Achievement recipient. This award promotes the

comics, working at Fawcett and Timely Comics
during the 1940s. Starting in the late 1940s,
Giella worked at DC Comics on titles such as The
Flash, Green Lantern, Strange Adventures, and
Batman under the direction of Julius Schwartz.
He remained a constant artist of DC Comics
through the early 1980s. Since 1991, Joe Giella
has drawn Mary Worth for King Features, up until
his retirement this year, and previously worked
on Flash Gordon and The Phantom comic strips.
As Joe retires from the business, Hero Initiative
and Baltimore Comic-Con are honored to have
him as our guest. Hero will host this top talent
all weekend!
The Lifetime Achievement Award will be offered
