Artist Guest of Honor: Billy Tackett
Spawned from rural KY, Billy's fondness for Famous Monsters of Filmland over Little Golden Books hinted at a dark future to come.
After publishing over 200 book covers and illustrations, he created his signature piece, Zombie Sam, giving birth to his Dead White & Blue series, which became the inspiration for the Dead White & Blue Comics graphic novel, scheduled for release in 2010.
Shane Moore dubbed him “Duco-Letum” (Painter of Death) and named him Official Artist of his Abyss Walker Series.
