Jamie Apgar
Ahoy, my name is Jamie Apgar. I started to make comics right out of middle school with my cousin Mark McCracken, These little comics we used to get printed at staples folding and stapling, mixing up order of pages, later became known as an indie comic book company called Divine Authority Comics (still printing out new professional books). I moved to Pittsburgh to pursue a degree in art of which I got my Bachelors from The Art Institute. While in school I worked at a couple of Tattoo parlors and after graduation decided to focus my art more towards Illustration. This last year I got back behind the blue line and started writing and drawing new comics and graphic novels. I have just recently begun work on a retake of one of my older books, Western 0utlaw.
My work is not that of typical comic artist as its usually more gritty, and use of ink washes. The content are usually much more mature on the language and violence aspects. As my most popular title was Rank In Hell, which followed a man's recent arrival to hell and his climb to the top of the food chain. www.art.japgar.com

John A. Russo
With twenty books published internationally and nineteen feature movies in worldwide distribution, John A. Russo has been called "a living legend." He began by co-authoring the screenplay for NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD which has since become
known as a "horror classic." His three books on the art and craft of movie making have become bibles of independent production, and one of the them, entitled SCARE TACTICS, won a national award for Superior Achievement in Nonfiction. Quentin Tarantino and many other noted filmmakers have unabashedly stated that Russo's books have helped them to launch their careers.John Russo wants people to know he's "just a nice guy who likes to scare people" -- and he's done it with novels and films such as RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, MIDNIGHT, THE MAJORETTES, THE AWAKENING and HEARTSTOPPER. His novel MIDNIGHT was published in twenty-five languages, and the movie, although made on a very low budget, got excellent reviews, attracted a "cult" following, and has been kept in constant release on VHS and DVD by Lions Gate.
He has had a long, rewarding career, and he shows no sign of slowing down. Recently his screenplay for ESCAPE OF THE LIVING DEAD was made into a five-part comic book released by Avatar to great acclaim -- and it made the Top Ten of Horror Comics nationally. To date this original story has spawned ten sequels and two graphic novels, plus a slew of tie-in merchandise such as T-shirts, beer mugs, coffee mugs, shot glasses, etc. The outstanding success of this property in comic-book form has shown such a strong grassroots appeal that the movie is now ready to go with Russo directing a
top-rated cast featuring Kristina Klebe, Gunnar Hansen, Kane Hodder and Tom Savini.Released in the fall of 2010 were two new horror comics written by Russo and a big trade paperback from Kensington Publishing Company comprised of both the original novel of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and its stark-horror follow-up, also by Russo, entitled THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD. This is the first time that both of these horror classics were teamed together in one volume.
Russo's popularity among genre fans remains at a high pitch, evidenced by the fact that this year alone he will be a main attraction in four movie-making books by other authors, and will be a guest on an Internet panel hosted by Edgar-winning writer Jonathan Maberry.
John Russo's current movie projects, in addition to ESCAPE OF THE LIVING DEAD, include a horror thriller about teenage vampires, a dark fantasy concerning an alien invasion of a small town, and a hilariously funny TV series entitled THE ZOMBIE COMEDY SHOW.
