Featuring:
LARRY HAMA is a writer/cartoonist/illustrator who has worked in comics, television, and film. He is best known as the writer of Marvel's G.I. Joe comics in the 80s, and as the writer of Marvel's Wolverine in the 90s.
CHRISTINE NORRIE has worked extensively as an artist and comic illustrator since 2000 with no formal art training. Her most noted works include her original graphic novel Cheat, the Oni Press series Hopeless Savages, and the newly released graphic novel Breaking Up.
JANN JONES is an coordinating editor for DC Comics who has worked on adding three new titles: Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam, Tiny Titans, and Super Friends to the DC comics line.
JAE LEE first rose to prominence in the industry for his work on Marvel's Namor the Sub-Mariner, Inhumans (for which he won an Eisner Award), and The Sentry, as well as his creator-owned character Hellshock at Image Comics. Lee is currently working on The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born.
GENE YANG's graphic novel American Born Chinese was named a 2006 finalist for the National Book Award in the young people's literature category. This was the first graphic novel to be nominated for a National Book Award.
I don't think the museum's posted information about this on their website yet, but I'm sure they will soon. Larry Hama, in case you don't know, is the guy who invented Storm Shadow! $3-$5 to meet the guy who invented Storm Shadow! How can you pass that up?!
