Due to unavoidable circumstances, Steve Jackson will not be able to join us at Capricon 35. Mr. Jackson is as sad as we are, as he was looking forward to being a Guest of Honor alongside his friend and fellow gamer Matt Forbeck.
As the fates are wont to do, they taketh with one hand and giveth with the other. Capricon 35 is pleased to announce that we have added a guest to our roster of luminaries.
John Bivens, whose work has appeared in the Eisner and Harvey award winning Comic Book “Tatoo”, the DC comic’s ZUDA initiative, and the upcoming Image Comics SF/Fantasy epic “Dark Engine”, will be joining us as our Artist Guest of Honor.
