We're almost ready for the 2013 show here folks. We may have a few last minutes surprises, but this is up to the minute information! See you at Derby City Comic Con 2013!!

Broken Icon started in late 2009 with two guys from Ohio that wanted to bring to life what the comics industry should be producing: Books with edge, smarts and action. From those vague guidelines, the label has begun to produce some of the most gripping and visually appealing books on the market. And they're still growing. Now with a revamped presence on the internet, Broken Icon intends to move into the digital age with webcomics, podcasts, videos, photos and more, reaching out to their readers and making their titles and operations as accessible as possible.

Rob Dumo
From Rochester, NY, Rob Dumo. has been a professional Artist for ten years, mostly working both in comics as an illustrator and outside comics as a live caricature artist and graphic designer. Recently, Rob was the lead artist on Broken Icon Comics' series Nightmare Unknown and then continued on to illustrate Robyn Hood #3 from Zenescope Entertainment. See more of Rob at www.robdumoart.com.

James Maddox
James Maddox is a writer/creator of unparalleled versatility. After co-founding Broken Icon Comics in 2009, Maddox has since involved himself with every aspect of producing and promoting comics. Recently, Maddox released the critically acclaimed one-shot The Horror Show with artist Todd Beistel and the first volume trade of his series Nightmare Unknown with artist Rob Dumo., but has since gone on to pen upcoming projects with illustrators such as Steve Scott, Jen Hickman, David Stoll, Todd Frazer, Vladimir Popov and yet another series with Rob Dumo. Maddox is also one of the founders of the Tri-State Comic Con in Huntington, WV, and manager for the rock band Qiet. Find more atwww.jamesmaddox.net.

Eric Watkins
Eric Watkins is the creator of the titles Chosen & Forsaken and the forthcoming series Mars. After starting Broken Icon Comics in 2009 and the Tri-State Comic Con in 2012 with co-founder James Maddox, Watkins has taken his love for the comic book genre to new heights. Watkins is now one of the key producers of both his own comics and that of others in the independent comic world and agent for several talented artists. See more at www.brokeniconcomics.com orwww.tristatecon.net.

Mike Roll is a comic artist and illustrator from the Detroit area. He's best known for his adorably-gruesome "Apooka" series of comics chronicling the life (death?) of an endearing, cute-as-a-button zombie child. Learn more by visiting him at mikeroll.blogspot.com.

During college Eddy Spurlock was in a drawing program doing covers and player sketches for a minor league hockey team. He was hired by DC Comics in 1993 after showing his work at the Chicago Comicon. He drew a twelve page story for Justice League Quarterly and was offered the chance to try-out as the regular pencil artist spot on DC's Judge Dredd comic. Although he lost out to Mike Avon Oeming, he did do some behind the scenes work.

Eddy spent the next year doing four solicited samples for the new talent manager at Marvel Comics, including Wolverine, Captain America, X-Force and Spiderman and went to Chicago in 1996 meeting Bill Nichols who asked him to draw Hellgirl for Knight Press. He did just that until his daughter was born. He has since worked on Danger Ranger for Checker Comics. He also worked with Steve Murphy at Mirage who hired him to draw a front piece for Tales of the TMNT. Murphy liked his work so much that he offered to Eddy a chance to write a script for a Casey Jones origin story but that didn't get finalized by the publisher.

Eddy describes himself as an artist who does one or two good pieces every once in a while and an individual who believes in quality over quantity. Right now he and his wife spend their time making sports and comic related Christmas tree boxes and mentors his daughter's budding Manga interest.

Marti McGinnis draws, paints, blogs and explores other media to express happy ideas. She made her first illustrated storybook when I was a little girl. She drew her first comic book entitled “Worms and Germs” for the World Health Organization's Health Education Unit of the Ministry of Health in Suva, Fiji. That gave her the confidence to embrace her inner artist and upon returning to the states, began pursuing art as a career.

Describing her work she explains that her work is always happy. That said, while seemingly light hearted and bubbly her work embraces very deep subjects and reaches far into the fields of quantum physics and spiritual connectedness. In addition to making art, she has also had opportunities to teach art showing kids how to express themselves via their own cartoons.

Bill Nichols is a comic book inker, writer and editor. He is the editor of Sketch Magazine sketchmagazine.net and the Comics Mentor He's also co-publisher of SkyStorm Studios with Robert W. Hickey, currently writing The SkyStorm, a company-wide epic that includes the characters Blood and Roses, StormQuest and others. He's also the writer of the webcomic Arteest arteestcomics.com as well as his own comics stories/imprint Sparta Bay.

Stephen (Stevie) R. Moore is a Lexington Kentucky artist and illustrator specializing in natural history subjects and wildlife art. Stevie has a degree in fine art from the University of Kentucky and currently works as a muralist, art instructor, and freelance illustrator out of his home studio. Primarily working in oil paints and digitally with Adobe Photoshop, Stevie also enjoyes painting subjects such as Dinosaurs and Paleoart, creatures design, and concept art. His other interests include aviation, aquariums, nature, photography, art, and history.

S. Steven Struble moved to Amarillo, TX to break into comics. Surprisingly this plan worked. He started his career as a colorist, doing artwork for various punk and indie rock record labels.

By day, Chris Ludden and Ginger Dee are mild-mannered graphic designers. At night, they transform into a comics super couple. Their crime-comedy "The Brothers Grant" chronicles the adventures of grumpy bounty hunter Sam and his excitable brother Kevin. Sam aims to destroy crime in the city of Harrison while Kevin struggles to keep him from wrecking his life, their apartment, and the American Midwest. You can read it online at thebrothersgrant.com.

After years of trying to make it in mainstream comic books Bruce O. Hughes has finally found his calling writing & drawing humorous modern retellings of both the mythological & the mundane with "Clobber Vance: The Man with The Magical Mouth" and a charming hybrid of fantasy and western mythos with "Iron & Ink". When not creating universes through pen & paper or expanding his collection of rejection emails from publishers big & small, Bruce makes up one third of the comic podcasting trio known as The Break-Ins! Let it be said that as determined as Bruce is to make his way in the world of comics that he is just as driven to spend time with his lovely wife Jessica and their amazing son Crichton! On a side note Bruce still hopes that one day he'll get a commission request to draw the cast of Barney Miller as if they were salamanders… Check out Bruce's continuing adventures at bruceohughes.com!
