Tucson Comic-Con is thrilled to announce that four more comic book industry icons have been added to the guest lineup. Tim Seeley, Ron Marz, James O’Barr, and Chiara Bautista are joining us in celebrating the convention’s Sweet Sixteen!

His writing work includes NIGHTWING, MONEY SHOT, SUPERMAN vs. LOBO, the critically acclaimed REVIVAL, and the NY TIMES bestselling HACK/SLASH.
Ron Marz has carved out a long and acclaimed career in the comics industry, starting with a lengthy run on Silver Surfer for Marvel. His long list of credits include Thor for Marvel, Green Lantern and Superboy for DC, Star Wars for Dark Horse, and the historic Marvel vs. DC crossover, among many others. Marz has also written for video games, including multiple Skylanders titles, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, Spider-Man 2, and is currently part of the Diablo narrative team at Blizzard.
James O’Barr is the award-winning creator of The Crow and writer of the two hit series Curare and Skinning the Wolves from IDW Publishing. James has worked for every major publisher. His most recent book is James O’Barr: Uncoffined, a new sketchbook from Eva Ink Publishing.
Chiara Bautista is an Illustrator and Graphic Designer based in the southwest. Her work is recognizable for her characters and narrative. Chiara pulls inspiration from many things in the world, from religious iconography and Lucha Libre masks (a nod to her Mexican heritage) to music.
