Lucca Comics & Games
Lucca Comics & Games is an annual Comic book convention, comic book and gaming convention in Lucca, Italy, traditionally held at the end of October, in conjunction with All Saints' Day. It is the largest comics festival in Europe, and the second biggest in the world after the Comiket. History The Salone Internazionale del Comics ("International Congress of Comics") was launched by a Franco-Italian partnership, consisting of Italians Rinaldo Traini and Romano Calisi and Frenchman (forming the International Congress of Cartoonists and Animators) in 1965 in Bordighera. In 1966, it moved to a small piazza in the center of Lucca, and grew in size and importance over the years. Funding issues reduced the frequency of the festival to every two years, beginning in 1977. In the 1980s, the festival was moved to a sports center outside the city walls, where it remained until 1992, when it was moved to another city. (Funding issues also forced the cancellation of the 1988 festival.) A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Destroyer (Marvel Comics)
The Destroyer is the name of three fictional superheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. One of the earliest creations of major comics-industry figure Stan Lee, the original incarnation first appeared in the 1940s during what historians and fans call the Golden Age of comic books. Modern incarnations created by Roy Thomas and Frank Robbins appeared in ''The Invaders'' #18 (July 1977), and ''The Invaders'' #26 (March 1978). The ''Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe'' clarifies that all three versions of the character are considered canon.

The Punisher War Journal
''The Punisher War Journal'' or ''Punisher War Journal'' is the title of two Marvel Comics comic book series featuring the character Frank Castle, also known as the Punisher. The first volume, published from 1988 to 1995, was spun off of a self-titled series featuring the vigilante's exploits. After this, the character went through a number of incarnations in Marvel's imprints, such as Marvel Knights and MAX, that were outside of regular Marvel continuity. The second volume of ''War Journal'', published between 2007 and 2009 by writer Matt Fraction, placed the character firmly in the ongoing Marvel Universe inhabited by superheroes such as the Avengers and Spider-Man, and super-villains such as Doctor Doom and the Masters of Evil. This was reflected in the series by tying into crossover events of the Marvel Universe proper, including "Civil War", "World War Hulk", and "Secret Invasion". Publication history Volume 1 The first volume of ''The Punisher War Journal'' ran 80 is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ant-Man (Eric O'Grady)
Eric O'Grady is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The third character to use the Ant-Man name, he was created by Robert Kirkman and Phil Hester, and first appears in ''The Irredeemable Ant-Man'' #1 (Dec. 2006). Publication history Eric O'Grady was the main character in the ongoing monthly series ''The Irredeemable Ant-Man'', with the "Irredeemable" title given to the comic's title to indicate the character's immoral attitude and behavior. The series was canceled after issue #12, though no official cancellation notice was given (as Marvel Comics simply opted to not solicit issues of ''The Irredeemable Ant-Man'' beyond #12, though the final issue did mercilessly mock the idea of cancellation, such as having Eric scream in spite towards a massive assault of canceled comic characters). Though canceled, the series ended with the character becoming enrolled in the Initiative. With ''Avengers: The Initiative'' #8, O'Grady joined the tit ...

I Heart Marvel
{{unreferenced, date=May 2019 ''I ♥ Marvel'' (aka ''I Heart Marvel'' or ''I Love Marvel'' and commonly stylized as ''I (heart) Marvel'') was a series of connected one-shots published by Marvel Comics around February 2006 (although cover-dated April 2006) to coincide with the romance-themed holiday of Valentine's Day. The series told several romantic stories featuring characters from the Marvel comics universe, with each issue focusing on a different area of the Marvel universe (X-Men, supervillains, etc.). Despite appearing to be a typical fifth-week event comic, February 2006, like every February (excepting leap years), had only four weeks. Issues My Mutant Heart ''My Mutant Heart'' was the first one-shot published and was an X-Men-centric issue. The issue included the following stories: *''The Promise'' - A Wolverine story written by Daniel Way and with art by Ken Knutsden.

Marvel Team-Up
''Marvel Team-Up'' is an American comic book series published by Marvel Comics. The series featured two or more Marvel characters in one story. The series was originally published from March 1972 through February 1985, and featured Spider-Man as the lead "team-up" character in all but ten of its 150 issues, and in six of its seven ''Annual''s. It was the first major ongoing spin-off series for Spider-Man, being preceded only by the short-lived ''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' magazine. Of the issues that did not star Spider-Man, the Human Torch headlines six issues (#18, 23, 26, 29, 32, 35); the Hulk, four (#97, 104, 105, and ''Annual'' #3); and Aunt May, one (#137). Publication of most of the issues starring the Human Torch coincided with that of ''Giant-Size Spider-Man'', an alternate Spider-Man "team-up"-themed series by the regular ''Marvel Team-Up'' creative team. When cancelled with #150 in 1985, the title was replaced by ''Web of Spider-Man''. The second series was published ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Comic Book Artist
A cartoonist is a visual artist who specializes in both drawing and writing cartoons (individual images) or comics (sequential images). Cartoonists differ from comics writers or comic book illustrators in that they produce both the literary and graphic components of the work as part of their practice. Cartoonists may work in a variety of formats, including booklets, comic strips, comic books, editorial cartoons, graphic novels, manuals, gag cartoons, storyboards, posters, shirts, books, advertisements, greeting cards, magazines, newspapers, webcomics, and video game packaging. Terminology Cartoonists may also be denoted by terms such as comics artist, comic book artist, graphic novel artist or graphic novelist. Ambiguity may arise because "comic book artist" may also refer to the person who only illustrates the comic, and "graphic novelist" may also refer to the person who only writes the script.
