Enter the Warlord! Please give a big ICT Comic Con and Science Fiction welcome to legendary comic book writer and artist Mike Grell! While he has worked on most every major character for both Marvel and DC, he is perhaps best known for his original series THE WARLORD featuring Air Force pilot Travis Morgan who crash lands into the “hidden world” of Skartaris. He is equally well known for his groundbreaking reboot of Green Arrow, THE LONGBOW HUNTERS. Mr. Grell’s work on Green Arrow was the basis for many elements in the CW’s ARROW series – in which Mr. Grell also had a cameo in the pilot episode. Mr. Grell’s JON SABLE: FREELANCE series debuted in 1983 and the character has appeared regularly in comic books and novels since then, including a deluxe hardcover omnibus edition released in 2023. The series has sold over 4.5 million copies worldwide. In 1987, ABC aired one season of a SABLE television show, which co-starred Rene Russo in her acting debut. He has also worked on the TARZAN weekly comic strip, STARSLAYER, LEGION OF SUPERHEROES, JAMES BOND (comic adaptation) as well as countless other beloved characters and titles in the comic universe. We are absolutely thrilled to welcome MIKE GRELL as our ARTIST GUEST OF HONOR for our Year 8.0 event!
