Our Guest of Honour is the legendary
MIKE PLOOG
Mike Ploog stands out for his macabre horror stories he did for such titles as
Werewolf by Night, Frankenstein, Ghostrider, Conan, Planet of the Apes
and Creepy during the 1970s
In his graphic novel ‘The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus’, Ploog showed the lighter and more
nostalgic side of his talent.
He has also worked on several other Marvel series. However, Mike Ploog spent most of his career
as a designer and storyboard artist in Hollywood
More special guests already confirmed inc.
