STGCC 09: awesome famous people!

for this year's lineup, we have:

Gary Baseman


kooky artist. and my 1st known work from him is: Teacher's Pet!
i had no idea that this cartoon was created by him and several years after watching the loony show, i chanced upon baseman's works only to always have a voice in my head saying: dognabbit! i m sure i have seen this crap somewhere!


Joe Ledbetter


i seriously dig this guys art! its breathtaking geometric beauty is one to make mike mignola depressed. basically, i love geometrical line art. and this is just superb! therefore, me shall go and make a point to get something from him to have it signed! SWOON SWOON!!!


Tan Eng Huat


loved the linework on his silversurfer run. and thats all i know from the guy. but he's also the winner of the 2002 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards (USA) for Russ Manning Promising Newcomer and 2002 National Comic Awards (USA) for Best New Talent. He was also nominated for the 2004 Harvey Award (USA) for The Best Penciller / Inker and 2002 Comics International Award (USA) for the Best New Talent. and he's malaysian.

Brian Bolland


the legendary artist is coming this hellish island (yes, the temperature is getting to me too). Brian Bolland of the Killing Joke and Camelot 3000 fame is gonna sign me some goodies. but i dunnno wad do i wanna get to get signed! i could get the killing joke, but i ve read it already. then i could get teh camelot 3000 deluxe edition but they say the printing quality sucks. i wouldnt mind getting him to sign his tank girl cover. but i dont have that book and the remastered edition is dunno when gonna come out. so dilemma. dilemma.
