With a lifelong fascination with drawing and the drive and determination of a Detroit muscle car, Seth set out to carve his niche in the comic world.

Jason Douglas
Booth TBD

He has been a public school teacher for the last 26 years, which means that while his entry into the world of published comics is relatively new, fresh, and exciting, he is no spring chicken. While he is humbled and honored to be at this absolutely wonderful event… You should not chase him at book signings, conventions, or even on the street, as his knees no longer work the way they once did.
PARALLEL, Jason’s very first published comic, sold out of its initial SPP print run and garnered not one, but TWO Ringo Award Nominations for Best Writer and Best Single Issue or Story. The story is a dark twisted sci-fi tale in the vein of the most mind bending episodes of Black Mirror and The Twilight Zone, and is now available in an expanded Special Edition.
Jason’s newest book JANE AMERICAN is a 132 page WWII coming of age tale that just won Best Graphic Novel Of The Year at the Ringo Awards in Baltimore!It is set in historic Plymouth Michigan and is inspired by and dedicated to the life of his late grandparents (long time pillars in the community). Jane was living a life of family, stability, and hope during the war years… until she wasn’t. Until the war brought tragedy to her front doorstep and changed her in unbelievable ways that were better left hidden. But the economic hardships brought on by the end of the war have left Jane with a choice… stay safe, stay hidden… of embracing who she really is and what she can really do for the sake of everyone that she loves!

Jim Lawson
Booth TBD​
​
My career in comics began in 1986, when I first joined Mirage Studios (owner and publisher of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). At the time I came on board, things were really beginning to take off for the TMNTs and their creators, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. In an effort to ease the growing workload, others jumped in and before long, we were a small but real publishing and licensing empire.
As for myself, I remained dedicated to the comics, which continued to be black and white. My first job was inking which then grew into penciling and then later the writing for the main title, from the years 1993-95. These books were officially known as volume 2. Besides volume 2, I wrote and illustrated many sub-titles (including Tales of the TMNT), various mini-series and one-shots. It was a crazy, busy time. There were 32 issues that comprised volume 4 (last of the Mirage TMNT books, 2001-2014) and on that run I was the exclusive penciller.
My days at Mirage Studios officially ended in 2014, years after the TMNTs were sold to Viacom/ Nickelodeon (2009). In total, I had been on the Turtles 28 years, making me one of the rare artists having the longest run with a single property.
Now, many years later, I remain a professional comic book writer and artist. I still self-publish, even to this day, and I am the only remaining Mirage artist to do so. Under my name, I release new comic book content every year. A list of my titles are as follows: Guzzi LeMans, A Walk Through Dinosaurland, Dragonfly, Hellride, Dinosaur Head Cat and The Box City Wallops.
Besides the books, I’m busy with commission work and the occasional cover.
